'Bushies' creep into Trump's administration
President Donald Trump uses the term “Bushie” as shorthand for anyone he considers too establishment, thinks too conventionally, or is just, in the president’s mind, a pain.
But a strange thing has been happening within his administration lately. Bush administration alums now run huge swaths of Trump’s government. They’re at high levels of his departments of Homeland Security, Labor, State, Health and Human Services, and Treasury. At the White House, they staff his legal and domestic policy offices.
It’s a trend that unsettles some hard-core conservatives who backed Trump because he was anything but a typical Bush-style party man.
“And Trump wonders why he can’t get anything done,” said one former Trump transition official, who alleges that Trump’s senior staff have walled off campaign loyalists from top jobs. “It was hard in January 2018 to imagine Trump senior personnel decision-making to get any worse. But it has.”
