Trump says he now knows the ‘right’ people for second administration
Former President Trump on Wednesday reflected on his first term in the White House, stating he now knows the “right” people to serve in his administration should he be reelected.
“A big key to running, it is get the right people. You put the right person and the right group of people at the heads of these massive agencies, you’re going to have tremendous success,” he said. “And I know now the people and I know them better than anybody would know them.”
Nonetheless, his own history does not support that statement. Trump had the biggest (85%) turnover in his first administration ever seen in any presidency.
The long list of Trump administration officials turned critics
WashingtonCNN —
Having overseen the highest turnover rate in presidential history, President Donald Trump was bound to have a few disgruntled ex-aides.
Instead, a steady succession of ex-administration advisers – including some of his highest-ranking Cabinet officials who spoke or met with him regularly – have spoken out against his leadership and character, a remarkable break in precedent for a norm-shattering president.
One big problem that exists in Trump is that his beliefs do not allow him to hire good people and much less listen to them. Here is a statement that Trump made publicly in 2018, that shows exactly what his mentality is on this issue:
Trump: 'Always be around unsuccessful people because everybody will respect you'
Donald Trump broke from his usual political script for part of a campaign rally on Wednesday to offer advice for success to his college audience. One boastful tip from Trump: “Always be around unsuccessful people because everybody will respect you.”
The problem is that he believes he knows more than anyone about anything
He even knows more about the law than his own lawyers

How can anyone run a country by himself, without anyone competent around him? On top of that, he lies as he repeatedly says that he will hire the best of the best?
