He should have 100% cleaned house the day after his inauguration. Fired everyone under his jurisdiction, replaced them with people outside the DC machine. If he had been forced to use interim personnel for his entire term, he still would have been better off. Instead, he surrounded himself with vipers.
He should have led the way on construction of alternate platforms, including payment processing and banking. Instead, he hung around Twitter, Facebook, and Google, and then he was blindsided when all three unilaterally cut him off from his supporters. Huge strategic blunder.
As I've said elsewhere, Trump is an older gentleman who doesn't quite understand the internet as well as younger people do. That has translated into a serious blunder which may have helped cost him reelection.
Atop that, his failure to see just how deep the swamp went sealed the deal for his enemies.
All told, as much as I like him, those were catastrophic blunders.
I'm not wrong though. His failure to beat the swamp into line was what allowed them to cheat so brazenly and get away with it. He was just too conciliatory for his own good.
Trump made a few massive mistakes in retrospect.
