Oddbean new post about login | logout Can't wait to see which one on Trump's "dream team" that he gets into it with first. As long as they follow his orders (legal or not), history has shown he will reward their loyalty for taking the fall for him. And those who have self-respect and refuse to perjure themselves to cover for him—those who will not take the fall—he will fire and publicly ridicule. He fired so many from his core team last time. Who do you think will be the first to butt heads with Trump? Who will be the first to go? nostr:nevent1qqszj3ya4j4qs8uvmpzzu9hju89quw6l93q42y5w762d40tvtkevatgpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qgsx45yrjtgm4glklaafgz0z4309gs6cwfja3d99s8rqvlvgagcptpqrqsqqqqqpxfp2nq
Firing incompetent people is among the most difficult tasks of an administrator ... particularly in positions of high power... this time he has surrounded himself with a solid team .. I don't expect the fire drill of the previous term ...
Last time, he hired and fired competent people who were deemed competent and touted by him as "the best" until they refused to take the fall for his shady and illegal activities. He then called them incompetent and attacked their character—and much worse—AFTER they would not do whatever he said to cover for him, or take the fall. Then, he replaced them with yes-men and yes-women. We can agree to disagree, but history tends to repeat itself, especially with Trump. I remember what happened last time he was in power. I am not here to convince you for anything. This post will serve to prove my point soon enough.
Ofcourse he will fire lots of dead wood in this term too .. in fact many departments altogether.. that exactly is the job 😃.. As far as judging competance is concerned - there is only one rule - boss decides. He appreciates people wholeheartedly when they are good .. and he drops them when they are not .. .. He works smart and hard ..and he expects no less .. I don't understand why people get fired up of changes opinions based on performance.. Btw, I have never heard anyone praising his boss once they got fired :-) ..so In the end , he job is not to keep his team happy .. it is to serve American tax payers who fund the gov ..
Nah... this is what one would call a political realignment. The Democrats are done until they throw out the communists that took over their party.
There's a lot of optimism at this point in the cycle. I expect that to wane as time goes on but at least we'll have the memes. What he's tasked with is extremely difficult and most of us wouldn't even want to attempt it. He will do a lot of firing. And there will be a lot of collateral damage. This is uncomfortable, but it's much better than a weak minded person who keeps people around even when they're toxic and destroying the world.
I doubt Trump would sell it. It's his only place to go when he starts butting heads with his "dream team." nostr:nevent1qqsqcj2cmqzrzwrfl0grx82fv9gee6ggrm3ckkpjvkpjvq6clfg2ulspr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0qgsyawyrzrttfmv4cmtx5w2m85702kdct7hv3amfrkhagpdf9cz46mgrqsqqqqqp2452jx
