From whom? Nobody with any foreign policy chops is willing to work for him, and the few that do have been shown the door (Rogers and Corker). You really want foreign policy run or influenced by the slimy opportunists who remain (John Bolton or Rudy Guiliani)?

Trump has to hire about 3000 people to run his administration.

I don't think they have realized that yet.

Incompetence combined with a queasy feeling about Trump's foreign policy and security capability could lead to him becoming Impeachment Meat.

Or 25th Amendment Meat.

25th Amendment is why a majority of the cabinet will be hyper-loyalists, regardless of other qualifications or lack thereof.

Loyalty Trumps competence. How to damp my optimism for the outcome escapes me.

You fools have been writing Trump's political obituary for the past year and a half and you've ended up with egg on your faces every time. This time will be no different.

You are correct, I underestimated the gullible stupidity of my fellow countrymen, and here we are.

Why Steve Bannon In The White House Makes Perfect Sense

I love this guy Jimmy Dore!

He has an interesting POV on Bannon.
