Trump Appointees & an Unwritten Rule
Politics is a form of warfare that leads to success and failure. When failure occurs, casualties are expected to remain silent, if their loss was the result of failures of your commander. You are expected to be loyal and not speak out against your boss or write a book telling all. After all, the war continues even though you are no longer in the fight.
One of the ways that “commanders” assure that their casualties do not turn on them is by hiring only those who are loyal to you and understand the rules of political combat. President Trump’s lack of a political philosophy means that there is no guiding policy shaping choice of personnel.
Many former warriors in the George W. Bush administration appear on MSNBC as critics of the Republican Party and now treasonous behavior by Trump appointees is coming to light. Most recently, former Department of Homeland Security appointees, Miles Taylor and Elizabeth Neumann, have formed a group to reform the GOP.
A good way to do that is to blacklist them from future work with any Republican Party official or group. But, don’t stop there. Identify who recommended them for service and remove them from office!
