Why Trump will Fail
In an interview with Fox News today, President Donald Trump said that he had no intention of appointing people to fill the some 1,700 positions designated for political appointees.
The President simply doesn’t understand that the federal bureaucracy must be controlled by politically loyal appointees because the bureaucracy’s interests are not the same as the interests of Republican Presidents of the United States. Their ranks are filled with Socialists, Liberals and “careerists,” and few sympathize with with the philosophy of limited government of the GOP.
President Trump seems confident that he can run the U.S. government like a business.
Unfortunately, this confirms my worst fears about Donald Trump. He is not prepared to serve as President of a government and his Administration is doomed.
