Remember when he said he knew the best people before he chose his cabinet for his first term?

I love that his biggest criticism of Biden was that he doesn't fire anyone. Firing someone means you failed to pick the right candidate. Biden didn't fire anyone because he made good choices. Trump always has to fire people because he has no judgement of character. He just goes with whoever compliments him in that moment.
as a non american in America I've come to find that's an American egregore: that firing people means you're a good leader.
Nope, you are confusing Dumps reality TV show with actual reality. I guess it does get a little confusing as his whole presidency seems to be a parody. People who voted for him truly are some of the stupidest human beings to ever exist.
I've heard it as a criticism of Peter Thiel and others, and, as a manager edging towards director, I get asked about it in interviews too
In real life firing means you made the wrong pick and is not looked upon as a good thing unless you are a sociopath. I suppose if you came into a company to clean house some would view it as correct but they are probably shareholders who have perverse incentives.
Long story short, Americans don't generally like bosses and don't approve of firings unless it is obvious the choice was correct, for instance firing someone who is toxic.
Having had to fire someone as a director myself I would think it strange to be brought up in an interview and probably a red flag.

They don't ask you about the edging direction? I'm assuming you don't eventually cum on the director. So down your pants or do you want until you get home?
Also as a non-American who lived in America, you are spot on. American management culture seems to pride itself in childish power plays. Firing problem employees instead of working with them to resolve issues was becoming less acceptable, but it's still the primary method of handling issues for some industries.
& there's a new group ready to replace the previous group
(as if none of that ever happened).
Life IS strange.
Is it better that he has smart people who want to do their job well or dumb people whose biggest selling point is professed loyalty and they look good on TV
A dumb man with a brick can still fuck up your teeth.
and he killed his first choice for DOJ head: Jeffrey Epstein.
What we need is Sacha Baron Cohen to somehow get Trump on camera, saying Epstein will be a nominee for something.
I think there are a couple of people who could return... He's still on ok terms with Roger Stone and the guy who just got out of prison, right?
Roger will never have an official position. But he'll get paid big bucks for ratfucking.
I was hoping the Never Trumpers, those scorned by Trump, and the Democrats could come together and say "We can't let Trump or anyone like him happen again."
But that would have made sense...

Guys not gonna lie I feel scared. I am not even American. I'm scared for all of you
I don't feel an ounce of pleasure in saying: this administration will make things worse for the whole world.
I'm super scared for women
53% of white women voted trump
According to Trump, it's 53% of women past menopause.
What's also crazy is that there are people lining up saying "Surely that won't also happen to me."
His fallout with RFK JR and Musk is gonna be epic.
I still haven't decided if making Leon and Vivek Co leads of DOGE is a dig at Leon or Vivek. I'm sure Leon thinks he's the "real" lead.
Oh yeah it's to make them fight. This is how the people who make Trump's decisions think is the way to run a government.
"Those people were losers. I am very smart so it won't happen to me"
"How much money can I steal from taxpayers before I get knifed in the back?"

It's crazy that most of the country looked at that and said either "I want that" or "That's fine, I don't care".
A large chunk of the population gets their info from Fox News and News Max etc. Many of my extended family unfortunately. They think that is reliable information and can't be convinced otherwise. When I try to bring up facts they give me this look like I'm the crazy one spreading the lies. It's a really sad state of affairs, they are genuinely good people otherwise. I think there are too many assumptions that people just wanted what we're about to get.
Sorry no. If they voted for trump they’re not good people. They’re either assholes or too stupid to be making decisions for the country.
Anyone who votes for mass deportation is not a good person. Anyone who votes to take away health care from a huge chunk of the population is also not a good person.

They didn't look at that. This is the frustrating truth we have to come to terms with. People are fucking oblivious. They vote for a single issue at most, and don't understand what they signed up for.
It's brexit mentality. People voted for change from the status quo.
Most don't imagine that change ~~will~~ could make their lives worse.
It's almost like someone has been systematically dismantling your education system for 50 or so years so they could reach this point.

.4. He didn't pay them.
We haven't heard about Ivanka and Jared yet.
