There's another possibility...

Trump picks these back stabbers intentionally, for plausible deniability for why his plans are constantly undercut. That he's part of the system, playing the role of "outsider", to slowly reign back in and neuter any effective resistance for as long as possible.

How many times can a man be screwed over, but keeps making the same mistake? How can a man's followers continue to support and trust him with such an obvious flaw? Most people, even half awake, are aware of how controlled things are. Why ignore the very real possibility that we're being offered false messiahs as just another form of control?

The question then becomes: how do we tell who our friends really are? What is the litmus test?

The counterargument would be: who the hell can he pick? It kind of seems like everyone is a compromised backstabbing liar.

Gee, I don't know, probably not someone bought and paid for by Israel. Probably not a politician, of any stripe. An average Joe off the street is more virtuous and trustworthy than pretty much every politician you can find.

Does Trump not have a lot of actual friends who would help him out, who aren't in politics. Not one single law requires someone to be an establishment politician to hold office, or to be an advisor, or a cabinet member. This is why the repeated "mistakes" of Trump don't make sense. A smart man doesn't let himself get stabbed in the back twice, much less over and over for years.

I'd also add, that your attitude reeks of Republican voter capitulation. You might not have intended it, but you're tacitly suggesting that "this is who we have, and we have to deal with it". That's precisely what enables the two party system to persist, for people to vote for the "lesser evil", to tolerate people who constantly fuck us over and fail, because we try to convince ourselves that "this is the best we can get". BULLSHIT!

Right wingers rightfully abandoned the Republican party for the Tea Party years ago, and the Tea Party was captured and dissolved. The same thing happened with Trump and MAGA, and now the same process is happening all over again.

We deserve better than this. We deserve, and need, better leaders than this, if we're to actually fix our problems, rather than just bitching online voting harder [current year] until we're dead and buried, our countries captured, our people slaughtered, and the perpetrators reigning over the ashes.

I refuse to settle for "these are our only options".

How many times can a man be screwed over, but keeps making the same mistake?

An old ass man whose long past set in his ways, with an ego the size of the moon to avoid admitting he made a mistake in the first place and instead has rationalized it in his head.

We saw what it looked like when two pawns of the elite run against each other with Obama vs McCain and Romney. And if Trump never existed at all, the Right would still be a cucked, broken dog barely putting up a fight in the slightest like it was from 2003-2015.

I don't see Vance backstabbing Trump like to get power, but he grew up a Democrat and all his family and friends were Democrats so I think he'll be a disappointment to traditional conservatives.

But in 4 years he could usher in a centrist populism that is basically what Trump is and a lot of what Bernie Bros like is just common sense like "you'll get paid as much if you do as good a job" - that's not left or right that's just sane.
