I thought that Marco Rubio and Michael Waltz were terrible picks for their present positions, because that same ilk - Pompeo and Bolton - had sabotaged Trump in his first administration.
In retrospect, they were fantastic picks. It appears to me that they are helping Trump execute his policies and not theirs. I'm not persuaded by "trust Trump" or "trust the plan", considering that people who say that now bash people who wrongly trusted Trump and praised Chris Wray when he was appointed.
So I was wrong, and I really hope I continue to be wrong.
Its funny, because if Trump had not blown all expectations so far out of the water, most of his "doomer" moments where people were ready to throw it all out would be considered "amazing steps forward" for only getting 40% done when they expected 10%.
Instead he did shit so hard that when we don't get immediate and fantastic results it seems like a massive betrayal and failure.
