Trump Completely Humiliated As His Pick To Replace Michael Flynn Turns Him Down

Source: PoliticusUSA, by Jason Easley

*****

After Trump’s rambling disaster of a press conference on Thursday, and with the prospect of full-blown Congressional investigation into the Russia scandal looking more likely by the day, it is not a surprise that anyone who not currently engulfed in the dumpster fire that is the current administration would run fleeing in the opposite direction when offered a job.

Donald Trump promised to bring in the best people to work in his administration, but instead, the American people have gotten a batch of completely unqualified billionaires and Trump pals in the Executive Branch of the federal government.

It isn’t shocking that anyone with any credibility or reputation to protect is reluctant to join this White House. Trump has been plagued with staffing problems since he first got into politics.

The reality is that the president that so many Republicans love is toxic. The only people that he can attract to his administration are personal friends, donors, or unqualified far right ideologues who have no idea what they are doing.

As a candidate, Trump promised never to stop winning, but as president, Donald Trump has been a consistent loser.

From the sound of it, independent of political bent, this guy seems like he is a serious player. And he's smart enough to keep his distance from a shitshow like this.

The guy's in his mid-50's or so and he's got a lot of career left. Why toss it on the trash heap with this guy. It's likely there will be future presidents and it's likely he'll be on their short lists for something of importance. Having Trump pissed at him in the future won't mean a thing.
