Yep. Trump has never had "good people" around him, even in his first term most top-flight political and administrative talent refused to work with him, and the problem steadily grew worse throughout his administration. Part of the issue with Trump isn't just that he surrounds himself with second and third-rate stooges and crooks that he values more for their blind loyalty and brown nosing instead of their competency and ability to do the job, he also has difficulty in attracting top-level talent to work for him. And no, I don't consider Marco Rubio top-flight talent, although compared to most of his other appointments he does appear sterling in comparison.Trump is just such an unserious person. Good, Lord.
I remember the first go around the excuse was, “I know he’s an idiot but I trust he will put good people around him.”
Seems quaint now.
