Mulvaney’s ‘One Criticism’ Of Trump Is That ‘He Didn’t Hire Very Well’

Former acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney said that the problem of John Bolton’s book, which has reignited a tradition of former Trump staffers criticizing the president’s competence for office, could be explained away by Trump’s faulty hiring practices.

I would agree. Hired you dumb-ass. Talk about dumb pecker-heads.

Now can we criminally prosecute you for your insider stock sales come January 2021. Enquiring minds want to know.

Mick, look in the mirror for an example of your accusation that “Trump didn’t hire very well.”

Nope, not gonna say it.

Too easy, too obvious.

A topic more interesting than Mulvaney’s comments is sure to come up. It’s Friday after all. The final day of Infrastructure Week.

Most of what Bolton said is “factually false.” And also classified. From the people who brought you “alternative facts,” we have a new winner: false secrets.

“If there was one criticism that I would level against the president it’s that he didn’t hire very well,” Mulvaney told CNN anchor Jim Sciutto in an interview on Friday. “He did not have experience in running government and didn’t know how to put together a team that could work well with him.”

Hi Mulvaney - You might want to address those concerns to the GOP. They did the initial hiring.

Might as well remind us of this hiring/firing fiasco, too:

btw, Cohen’s 2017 dealt with two things: yes, its ok to let bygones be bygones and don’t get knowingly played.

People either ignored or forgot that, until GC3 (Kellyanne’s hubby) nearly said the same thing.

Yikes! It looks like the blackmail Trump has on Mulvaney is still operative. So many lies; so little time in that interview.
