Trump faces shrinking talent pool for new hires

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Trump faces serious challenges in restructuring a White House, from getting experienced Washington hands to work for him to whether his own premium for loyalty will block otherwise qualified candidates from working for him.

Republicans say the problems mean that Trump, an outsider who basically took over his party and is still viewed with suspicion in establishment circles, will face even more trouble in trying to refashion his team.

“The talent pool is shrinking, because who wants to sign up for crazy?” said Michael Steele, the former chairman of the Republican National Committee (RNC).

“Nobody wants to step into a situation where you’re flying by the seat of your pants and don’t know whether what you just said will hold up from one news cycle to the next,” he added. “Nobody is going to be lining up for positions with that much uncertainty.”
The abrupt resignation of White House communications director Michael Dubke, who handed in his papers before Trump’s foreign trip, highlights the president’s dilemma.

1. doesn't seem like he's been hiring from the "talent" pool at all....

2. That's what happens when you drain the swamp and hire them as your aids and cabinet.

3. What talent pool?

I have seen no talent since he came down that escalator. Either in him or anyone who has worked for or with him.

4. No one with self respect

would put up with the abuse he dishes out.

7. Ditto.

I was thinking exactly this while watching Spicer. He's making a complete fool of himself by trying to lie for the unstable persimmon, nobody except the most deplorable of deplorables believes anything he says, and he's still around. What could he possibly get out of it?

5. It's just not worth it

You'd have to work for an asshole and at the end of it all, your resumé is toxic. They don't have enough money to make a worthwhile proposition to anyone but incompetent idiots.

6. You need talent to work for Chump?

10. That pool was never very deep

I haven't worked for someone as bad as what I've read about Trump, but I have worked for some bad bosses. Life is too goddam short, is my conclusion.

11. He did so well the first time

I was on a trip a few days after the election and nearly drove off the freeway when I heard the list of speculated cabinet names on NPR.
