What happens if a president is so radioactive that no one wants to come to work for him?

goober seems to be having a hell of a time filling certain positions and I can't imagine that this is going to get easier...

Also tune into George Stephanopoulos tomorrow morning, he's interviewing the last guy to turn down the NSC position, and that should be a barnburner.

Mar a Loco will be watching

I've read that John Bolton is still available. Some sycophant will want the position, although Steve "Bananas" could be the sticking point.

requiring Senate confirmation. Or maybe he doesn't want to fill them at all...and run it on a loyal skeleton crew.

It would be hard to find that many people acceptable to Senate democrats. If he wants to avoid 600 battles. He has the nerve to complain that he can't get his cabinet appointed..... so stop nominating unqualified people!

Apparently, that is an absolute 100% deal breaker for the Cheeto in Chief.

I don't think he'd do that, given that it appears he's spent a lifetime growing it.

and self-enrichment to find people to fill the jobs. The quality of the work and the questionable match of skill sets to job requirements - that is a big concern. But that matches all the way up to the top of this administration.
