Why is it proving difficult to find competent people for White House?

[IGMOW (I Go My Own Way)Participant 2572]

It appears Trump is having issues of finding individuals who both know what they are doing, and also aren’t part of the swamp (or support the swamp?). Why is it that difficult to find anyone? It isn’t just a case of canning people who were there prior. But, you have the case of Trump going on his third National Security Advisor, and other things. Trump is looking at replacing the head of the VA, for whatever reason also. You also have people who have resigned, which is often the case of an individuals leaving before being fired.

Why is it so difficult? What I will say here is that it may be expected to have things higher than normal, because the idea is to change, not maintain things as they are. But why is it so difficult?

Fox News and others made mention of it, and you can do your own research on it. Here is just one article:

And Business Insider:

Why is Trump having problems finding people who fit here? Why is it so hard to find the best people for the job?

D.C. should be converted to an atomic test range, a nuclear weapons proving grounds!

What should be more concerning is as the establishment continue to refuse to allow the Trump Administration to be staffed, there will reach a point where President Trump will hit the “f~~~ it” button, he will put the people he wants in the positions by executive order, and he will tell the Congress and Courts to go shove it where the sun don’t sign.

At which point the situation either leads to impeachment which sparks civil war, or dictatorship.

My guess would be b/c this is new territory for Trump mixed in with members of his cabinet getting attacked 24/7.

Personally, I like the fact he fires people that aren’t doing a good job. Would you prefer the alternative?

The alternative I prefer is being able to hire people who do a good job and don’t need to be fired. I prefer not to have to settle on garbage choice of bad things to begin with. There is a lot of things I prefer that don’t happen. It is so easy to get garbage when you settle.

The question here, as a more useful example, would be one of how you go about and find competent people who don’t need to be fired. Competent people here are both people who can do the job, and have the right intentions.

Just because it’s the Republican party it doesn’t mean that there aren’t lots of Leftards in it. Also it must really hurt career politician’s egos that a rank amateur walked right in and has the top job.

How big a tsunami will it take to FLUSH OUT THE SWAMP? F~~~ draining it!

Isn’t there some big under water landslide waiting to happen in the Azores that’ll wipe the eastern seaboard clean with a giant tsunami?

I wouldn’t mind seeing the White House and congress relocated somewhere in the Delaware watergap!

That is one alternative, the alternative that I was thinking of was to not fire the people b/c it makes you ‘look bad’.

I think we can all agree that Trump is not business as usual.

Business as usual sux-ass, lets wait and see.

Most people that actively seek power are corrupt asshole narcissists that say they’re going to do one thing and do the exact opposite once they’re in. Unfortunately the only thing you can do is try to hire a good person and when you find out they’re f~~~wads and they try to f~~~ people, hit the eject button on their ass and get them out of there. Maybe if Trump fires enough of them they’ll stop trying to worm their way in there because they know they’ll get canned.

Thanks D-Ryu for putting it better than I did.
BTW, is the Ryu for actual MA training or for Vid Games? Not judging, just curious.

Actually, Ryu is the Japanese word for “dragon” (the traditional spelling). DarkDragon doesn’t look very good and is too long for my taste, so I chose DarkRyu.

I’ve thought about this topic as well. What if Trump is just hiring someone to complete a specific task and then moving to someone better when another task comes up? Maybe he wants Bolton because he talks tough on North Korea. Maybe he wants to use Bolton to be bad cop so he can come in and play good cop. Maybe Bolton will scare the crap out of NK just enough to get them to be serious when they come to the negotiating table?

Businesses hire people to come in and solve a specific problem and then move on. It happens all the time. Instead of being loyal to a person they are loyal to the task at hand.

I could be completely wrong on this, but it does make me wonder.

The elite always recruits flawed people as its frontmen. That’s how they control them.

Money, power (or at least the illusion of it), and sexual perversion are the levers of choice.
