This is all the left has. Trotting out guys who Trump fired, like Bolton, or guys who Trump refused to give a job to, like Christie, just so they can take shots at Trump in the hopes that they win some political points.

Meanwhile, Biden is still down 7 in the polls to Trump, and is the most unpopular sitting president in history.

Oh yea, and Biden is unable to campaign because he has dementia.
No other President has earned the contempt and denunciation of so many of his former appointees who had the misfortune of working for him.

These include:

1. Vice President Mike Pence
2. Attorney General Bill Barr
3. Secretary of Defense: both James Mattis and Mike Esper
4. Secretary of State: both Rex Tillerson and Mike Pompeo
5. Chief of Staff: both John Kelly and Mick Mulvaney
6. National Security Advisor: both John Bolton and H. R. McMaster
7. Deputy National Security Advisor: Matt Pottinger
8. Secretary of the Navy:Richard Spencer
9. Communications Director:Alyssa Farah Griffin
10. Press Secretary: Stephanie Grisham
11. Secretary of Transportation: Elaine Chow
12. Personal Attorney: Michael Cohen

Can you imagine the reaction from the Right if a Democratic President was castigated like that from their own appointees?

You have to believe that either poor Donny has been betrayed by a bunch of ungrateful rats (certainly the expected position of Cultists posting here, OR possibly, just possibly, that he was the completely unqualified for, and psychologically unsuited for the position he once held and is running for again.

How do you know what the truth really is? Because someone with an axe to grind says so? Sick of this leftist crap and I refuse to read any more of it.



It's always the same with the left.


They can't discuss policy because the left's policies always fail, so they find these disgruntled employees.


Mark Esper was fired by Trump.


What he has to say about the guy that fired him is just post-termination lashing out.

Trump’s former Secretary of Defense calls him a danger to national security

He always was.

The Trump folks were in full support of these people. Until they dare to cross Donald Trump. Then they are attacked by the very people who supported them.

Lather
Rinse
Repeat.

You don't understand Trump. Don't feel badly, most Trump supporters don't, either.

I knew about Trump before most of his supports were born.

He surrounds himself with sycophants and to make matters worse, it's his way or the highway. That's why he had so many business failures and had to file Chapter 11s every other year.

So, what would Trump the President be like? Exactly like Trump the Businessman. He surrounded himself with sycophants who tell him what he wants to hear instead of what he needs to hear, so yeah, anyone not kissing his ass is going to get fired and only an idiot wouldn't understand that. If Esper didn't know that before he took the job, then double dumb ass on him.

Anyway, I don't care, because the campaign theme for 2020 was "Anyone but Billary."

Since several Million Democrats and Independents agreed with me, we're all in good company.

He did run a revolving door of team members, one minute they were great individuals the next they were to be shunned, belittled and call out and lambasted on twitter and other social media.

Like a 5 year old having a temper tantrum..

Trump fired a lot of people. He fired Esper (third in a series of four Secretaries of Defense) after the election loss, because Esper would not go along with Trump's improper efforts to use the military to overthrow the government.

Trump wanted toadies who would allow him to break the law. There was a real revolving door policy at the white house. People who stood up to Trump's criminality were forced out.

And he is enabled and encouraged to act this way by his supporters who have shown there is literally no line he can cross to them.
