He's made it dreadfully clear that his knowledge of policy and intent to learn isn't exactly stellar - so he's getting 'the best' people to do that for him.
Okay well let's look at if he'd of played it differently.
What would honestly happen? His cabinet and administration will always include career politicians. If he just started appointing random business people or think-tank aficionados he'd be crucified for it.
What he's made clear is that he's willing to take advice and listen to the people who are more than likely better placed than himself, and then make a decision based on their input. What would you rather? That he just hamfists every decision?
Why is it when Trump comes out with this, it's seen as Trump 'not having any intent to learn', when if it was anyone else it would be seen as a great thing?
Isn't listening to others a positive? Isn't getting input on major decisions from bright minds something that should be commended? In one breath people are worried he will become an Adolf Hitler dictator, in another you criticise him for doing the exact opposite and saying he will get aid in making decisions rather than making them alone?
Surely you can see the bias here?
Quote:He himself isn't stuck in the same mold of political cronyism and corruption as Clinton simply due to the fact that he hasn't yet had a chance to be. And you're right, Trump might not be beholden to special interest groups, but the people he's choosing to run the country for him sure as hell are. I'm not talking about Trump as an individual, I'm talking about his cabinet and administration as a whole.
Absolutely and I don't doubt it, but from the Top you have a guy who isn't beholden to special interests. I mean, he isn't backing down from his anti-lobbyist promise is he? If anything he's gone full steam ahead and outlined EXACTLY what he's going to do. Yet even that is still not enough.
I see a lot of criticism for Trump supporters that 'nothing you say will sway them'. Seems to me the opposite is as true with those on the anti-Trump train. Anything remotely positive is blocked out like it isn't happening.
