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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
