From Iron Knee at Political Irony:
Trump is not living up to his promise to hire the best people and let them run the administration. In particular, his cabinet members are not allowed to pick their own staff. For example, the White House would not let Secretary of State Rex Tillerson (who has no political experience) hire Elliott Abrams (who had held extensive foreign policy positions in the Reagan and second Bush administration) because Abrams criticized Trump during the campaign.
Trump wants to hire people who have never criticized him, which leaves out pretty much all Democrats, many Republicans (including those with the most experience) and members of many minority groups that were insulted by Trump.
The general incompetence, dishonesty, interdepartmental mis- and lack of communication, disregard for experience and expertise, and pettiness from this administration as well as Republican voters’ apparent apathy toward all of it bother me more than Trump’s specific policies so far, including the targeted Muslim ban. What we see here are not a few acceptable stumbles of a new administration, but conscious choices from top leadership, especially Trump himself, to do wrong. And this mess is on full display to the entire world.
I don’t have the time to devote to every new story about this administration or the emotional capacity or strength to maintain this level of outrage. I am considering withdrawing from political interactions and avoiding political news. I just have to figure out how to control my curiosity.
