So this is a bit dated … but unlike Mikey Graham I am not compensated for this. One of the major knocks against Trump … besides his handling of COVID; i.e., letting Fascist Fauci run the country … is the many, many horrible personnel decisions he made as POTUS. Before we continue, a few words and some advice for some Trump supporters (NOT all, but some). … Yes, I fully understand I’m not supposed to criticize anything about Trump … that I am supposed to say he never made a mistake … that it was all Trump playing four-dimensional chess, while the rest of us are struggling with checkers … that you can’t say someone is less than perfect, that he made mistakes, and yet still decide to vote for that person in the primary … etc. etc. etc. … SORRY but that’s ridiculous and if you feel that way I suggest you stop reading now. Also, I don’t think that you help Trump’s cause by reflexively going scorched earth anytime there is any criticism of Trump.
So with those prefatory comments made, and again let me emphasize those comments are directed at some, NOT all Trump supporters, let’s proceed. … Back on January 23rd, when Trump keynoted the State Party meeting, he announced that the outgoing Chairman of the NHGOP would be a senior advisor. For example, from Politico:
In New Hampshire, Trump recently made an appearance before the state GOP and has hired the former state party chairman, Stephen Stepanek, as a senior adviser.
Stepanek was … as I knew he would be, having seen him in the House up close in 2011-2012 … a dismal failure as the Chairman of the NHGOP. What’s next … John Endless-Wars Bolton back as head of the NSA? … James Nato-First-America-Last Mattis for a return engagement as Secretary of Defense? … Elaine Chou? … the list of really bad personnel choices is a long one.
Trump hitching Stepanek to the wagon may not be disqualifying … but it certainly is NOT encouraging … if you are worried that Trump would repeat the mistakes of his first administration in a second administration. It certainly makes you question whether Trump has learned anything.
