Why did Trump appoint so many incompetent underqualified sycophants to government positions?
Why did Trump appoint so many incompetent underqualified sycophants to government positions?
Trump has filled his administration with sycophantic loyalists instead of highly competent and experienced people. Anyone else worried about this? Why did Republicans in congress confirm them?
Read Project 2025.
Gee, I dunno.... maybe corruption?
Why did Republicans in congress confirm them?
A better question is...why did so many Democrats confirm them, as well?
As the saying goes "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake". Better these idiots than anyone competent who could cause real damage intentionally.
That’s a great way of looking at it. I’m not sure if it was that or simple cowardice, but I like your interpretation.
Standard dictator bullshit, fucking obviously.
Because he is the smartest and best, and he wants it to stay that way
Republicans believe that government doesn't work and they are intent on proving that it doesn't. 🤔
Uh it was on purpose. You’re rightly concerned about the first point (their competence) with less focus on the second (their ability to lock his nuts). His priorities were the opposite.
And that is why you, my dear internet stranger, have already proven yourself to be a better Presidential candidate than the asshat we got.
I'm not sure why this is so hard to get across everywhere on the internet...
THE.
CRUELTY.
IS.
THE.
POINT.
They are very much qualified. But their qualification is not related to whatever position they have.
Their sole qualification is that Trump considers them loyal to him.
Because, for them, burning it down is the point.
No one else wants to work with him.
And he hates having people questioning him, especially when smarter than trump
Because sycophancy is the only quality he requires.
The answer is in the question. They're sycophants.
And yes. Lots of us are worried about this.

Tldr: It is intentional
TIL thanks!
Anyone with a billimetre of brain power would not work for such a brainless ignorant fuck like rump.
He likes sycophants. That's the most important thing for him.
It's almost like a qualified and effective government isn't his priority.
Why did Democrats confirm them?
It’s disturbing, but I’m much more concerned with the CIA assets being installed at every level of government. They are a much more dangerous and more long-term threat.
The more the government sucks, the less people will rely on it, or expect it to function well. A weak, hobbled government is great for the rich and powerful, but not so great for you and me.
Donakd only cares about loyalty. Actual competence and intelligence can be a liability.
It's not a good idea having incompetent cult members in positions of power.
No it is not. Additionally, placing loyalty above ability is a sign of both narcissism and insecurity.
He would never appoint anyone who wasn't a sycophant, and a qualified person would never be a Trump-sycophant. He also likes to feel like the smartest person in the room, which means that there really have to be some incredibly stupid people in that room.
You know why.
Internet Explorer is that you?
They have no problem pulling down his diapers and with kissing his shit covered ass... I guess.
The first generation is always incompetent as the founders of a new regime want to reward the backers and have loyalists to take up the power. The next generations might get better. You have the same in the Soviet Union and China; the first generation of bureaucrats were soldiers having no idea how to govern, but their successors learned fast and ruled more effectively.
I don’t like Trump, and I hope their regime ends ASAP, but the truth is if it continues, it might get better at governing over time. JD Vance or Don Jr. will have a better grasp of the system and suppress their political enemies more effectively. We might hate them more, but will be even more powerless to fight back than today.
