Didn't he run to "drain the swamp" and "fight the deep state"? What did Cheeto Mussolini think those were if he was so grossly uninformed?
Still think he's the best president we've had in my lifetime, but there's always room to be better. The Tangerine Terror is going to get my vote again. Concerned about who runs in 2024 though
Likely that random Hawaii judges would have the power to stop his orders, and that half the nation would be willfully insubordinate and he had no legal recourse to straight fire them.
Its one thing to fight the swamp, its another to have to fight near every single position of power in the nation.
He thought he could come in like a CEO and clean house. He didn't realize the swamp can actively fight back the way it does, or that it is bigger than DC and includes the universities and msm and tech and London and Berlin and Beijing and Addis Ababa and...
I agree, people don't really understand how your entire structure has to change when you can't fire someone who needs to be fired. Suddenly, you've got to either accept the loss in productivity, have massive weak-point sitting in your department looking for an opportunity to fuck you, you've got absolute poison in the work environment, transferring them to someone else is taken as an attack, promoting them out of the way could work but might be even worse and breeds a bad environment among your subordinates, etc.
That's just one bad person.
If you're doing this in the government, you're talking about whole bad departments, funded by massive bad organizations, and even attempts to constantly undermine you by allied (let alone enemy) powers.
And none of that is as bad as what Trump is probably dealing with on a daily basis. Early on in his presidency, it's clear dudes were playing cut-throat politics with his own staff and trying to control him through his cabinet. I'm not surprised he clamped down on the whole thing with some Marine General that he appointed to his cabinet to stop leaks.
It's probably a huge culture shock. Remember that the executive of Carls Jr. was on Trump's cabinet initially and he noped the fuck out because of how apparently crazy the whole situation was.
