Trump Says 'Not All' Cabinet Choices He Made Were 'Good' Back to article

Translation: “They were all execrable.”

Like son in law ̶E̶r̶i̶c̶ Jared, where is ̶E̶r̶i̶c̶ Jared in all this Syra stuff?

edit, thanks clauscph!

Actually, he got the “not” in the wrong place. What he meant to say was “All cabinet choices he made were not good.” Only the best people. Problem is, nobody said what they were “best” at.

clauscph · April 16, 2018, 5:13pm

Huh ? Do you mean Jared the Silent ?

dickweed · April 16, 2018, 5:14pm

No, unlike Donald I don’t have 8th grade bully terms for everyone.

loss_mentality · April 16, 2018, 5:15pm

So “all the best people” didn’t happen? An uber-deal-making very stable genius businessman should be able to deliver on that, no?

clauscph · April 16, 2018, 5:18pm

OK, who is this “son in law Eric” then ? He’s new to me.

dickweed · April 16, 2018, 5:19pm

But it’s not his fault…nothing is his fault!

dickweed · April 16, 2018, 5:20pm

Oops I meant Jared! Thanks for the heads up!

Next will we see Bannon float a story that Trump doesn’t need Cabinet Secretaries, because he can do it all himself?

I was about to say that this is just about as close as I’ve ever seen him come to admitting he was wrong about something. So: Bad advice from others means he’s off the hook, despite being the person who decides whether to take that advice.

No wonder he’s never felt the need to ask for forgiveness.

“Dozens of senior administration officials have ~~left~~ fled the White House for ~~greener pastures~~ plea deals with Mueller or been ~~fired~~ indicted or imprisoned.”

Fixed.

Recall tRump said directly to the camera at the RNConvention: “Only I can fix it.” And since he also has the best brain, I suppose we can all relax now

Well, there was that thing about his in effect serving as his own chief of staff . . . : http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/379867-trump-considered-ousting-kelly-and-serving-as-his-own-chief-of-staff

Dozens of senior administration officials have left the White House for greener pastures…

***Really?***


Whether it's because the White House is a dysfunctional mess, Donald Trump's administration is waging war against the poor and the rule of law, or the president has a bad habit of saying terribly racist things about entire countries, for whatever reason, some of Trump's aides are looking to ditch their jobs.

The only problem? Now that they've worked in the White House, no one wants to hire them.

According to BuzzFeed News, current and former White House officials are having a tough time landing gigs in the private sector. One official told BuzzFeed that it looked like he'd locked down a new job, but he ultimately lost it—and was straight-up told folks at his prospective employer weren't down with the fact that he'd worked for Trump.
