thinks Wilbur Ross has done a bad job as Commerce secretary"
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/21/trump-is-dissatisfied-with-wilbur-ross-as-commerce-secretary-axios.html
President Donald Trump has been so disappointed with Wilbur Ross's performance as Commerce secretary that he has humiliated him in meetings, ripping the former Wall Street investor's inability to secure satisfying trade deals, Axios reported Sunday, citing sources.
"Your understanding of trade is terrible. Your deals are no good. No good," Trump told Ross, according to a source cited by the news outlet. Ross also is known for falling asleep in meetings, the report added.
*************
Yet, as the administration started work in earnest, Trump found Ross's talks with China lacking, according to Axios. The president then made U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer the point man on negotiations, the outlet added.
"Wilbur has lost his step. Actually, he's probably lost a lot of steps," Trump is reported to have said.

(115,683 posts)Instead he hired an assortment of ignoramuses, fanatics, wannabes, incompetents and grifters; then proceeded to kneecap them in private and in public when they fucked up, or even when they didn't. If he had any idea how to identify and hire people who really were "the best people," there wouldn't be a revolving door in the increasingly-dysfunctional executive branch. And who among the actual "best people" would want to work there now?

(1,202 posts)Seriously, who wouldn't after hearing Trump bloviate about his own magnificence for the umpteenth time in one meeting. Nothing is ever achieved, nothing of true national substance is ever discussed, it's just a self congratulatory oratory they cabinet members are supposed to lap up as if in were manna from heaven.
