Pauken: Trump's personnel problem
From the Right: Former RPT Chairman Tom Pauken says “Trump will learn the hard way that ‘personnel is policy’ and that the failure to have a core of people in place who share his views will doom his initiatives
Donald Trump ran on a campaign of
controlling our borders, opposition to bad trade deals, bringing jobs home to
America, rebuilding our manufacturing base, and ending our unnecessary
intervention in wars that were not in our national interest.
He
also wanted to end our adversarial relationship with post-Communist Russia and
make common cause with President Putin
against the growing threat of radical Islam. During the campaign, Trump was
very critical of the Bush/Romney Establishment wing of
the Republican Party. He also positioned
himself as an economic nationalist in opposition to the globalist, Wall St.
financial elite.
As
he will soon find out, it is awfully difficult to carry out your agenda unless
you select people who believe in those policies to run the White House and the
various departments and agencies.
