Donald Trump made a plethora of promises while seeking the presidency. One of them was to surround himself with “the people best people” to run the executive branch of government.<\/p>\n

How has that worked out?\u00a0Not too well.<\/p>\n

Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke is “leaving” the administration at the end of the month, according to the president. Trump hasn’t told us whether he was fired or whether he quit to “pursue other interests” — which in reality means the same thing as getting canned.<\/p>\n

When the president nominated Rex Tillerson to be secretary of state, he hailed the man he had never met as a brilliant business executive and the best dealmaker on Planet Earth. Then he fired him. Just the other day, Tillerson spoke out against Trump, criticizing his management style. The president’s response? Tillerson lacks “mental capacity” and is “dumb as a rock.”<\/p>\n

Tillerson is just one of many individuals who have gone from hero to zero during their time working in the Trump administration.<\/p>\n

He has burned through multiple chiefs of staff, communications directors, and various Cabinet officials . . . all in the span of less than two years! Just think, Trump has two more years to go to finish out his term in office!<\/p>\n

Best people? They aren’t on board. His campaign promise was nothing but an empty platitude.<\/p>\n

Trump hasn’t yet appointed a White House chief of staff, turning instead to an “acting” chief, Mick Mulvaney, who also has a full-time day job as director of the Office of Management and Budget. Think about that for a second: an “acting” White House chief of staff. Trump keeps telling us that applicants are lining up out the door and around the block to work in the White House. I would submit that the president is lying about that matter, too, just as he lies about everything continuously.<\/p>\n

The “best people” aren’t going to be found inside the White House, let alone in the West Wing. They’re running like hell away<\/em> from the madhouse on Pennsylvania Avenue.<\/p>\n\n
