>Is it a plan? Or poor judgement? Or the fact that everyone in DC is corrupt, and their are no good choices? It was a part of the plan, and I think that almost everyone in DC is corrupt because they have to go along to get along. Trump had to gain public support before issuing any indictments and arrests, otherwise he would look like the tyrant Biden acts like now - unleashing the forces of the govt onto his ["innocent"] political enemies because people (at that time) were unaware of the breadth and depth of govt corruption. Some things you can't just tell somebody something and they will believe it, you have to show them. Trump has put on a great 6 year show exposing their corruption and the majority of the American public can see it clearly now. People are starting to clamor for justice and relief from these oppressors. I think we are nearing the end of this phase of the plan (I sure hope within 2-3 months). Trump essentially had to recruit a "GOPe approved" cabinet to at least have some cooperation from half of the govt - except for his personal MAGA picks like Lighthizer, Mnuchen and Wilbur Ross. So my impression is Trump purposefully allowed the appointees to do what they do ... Dem/Rep cooperative corruption on display, while calling them out, and being relentlessly attacked throughout his term. Trump is the perfect bait to make the DS players fully visible - they couldn't help but expose themselves with their treachery. If Trump had appointed only non-GOPe MAGA people, their DS criminal behavior would not get exposed front and center and Trump's people would be sabotaged at every opportunity creating a wasted, ineffective term and no closer to draining the DS swamp. My 2¢.
