President Donald Trump’s success as a businessman was a focal point of his 2016 campaign, as he touted his hiring skills. So why has he fired and badmouthed so many of his previous staffers? Chris Cillizza explains how Trump’s “best people” promise didn’t exactly pan out.

Hey, Chris here — can you name any current members of the President’s cabinet?
@Ke Mo _the similarity between communism and capitalism is , both the bottom and the top feed from the middle._
The only arguably reasonable statement you posted here. The rest is pure horseschitt

President Trump made a big move to help children in foster care by signing an executive order that aims to strengthen America’s child welfare system in three key areas:
1. Improving Partnerships: This order will encourage robust partnerships between state agencies and public, private, faith-based, and community organizations.
2. Improving Resources: This order will improve access to adequate resources for foster and adoptive parents.
3. Improving Oversight: This order will improve federal oversight of key statutory requirements.

♿NPC-TardLivesMatter✊ Trumptards have to constantly repeat their narratives in order to keep themselves brainwashed.
Well it effects other countries cause we have to trade with them mmm
He did drain the swamp….. straight to the white house.

@Jose Martinez tRump thinks all Mexican’s are rapists…how stooopid do you have to be to defend him?
Oh, don’t forget to go get mexico to pay for that wall.
It’s a most now…LOL
No one wants to work with a narcissistic sociopath. I know I wouldn’t. I’d fire myself if he was my boss.
@Drunken Joe Typical Trump supporter…not wanting others to have a different opinion. Do all of y’all hate the Consitution or is it just you? Lol
and you elected him 44 potus, obomnuts
@TheRadioman1947 WHITE We get it. Obama is black and could read. No wonder you’re mad. Elected a rich white man who can’t read. Murica. Why don’t climate science deniers care about their own children? Weird
I don’t think you’d get hired!! TRUMP 2020!
@Tony G Trump doesn’t hire decent people.
I’ve noticed this for the last 3 years how does trump keep putting people that are supposed to do the job he wants, but failures at then at the day ??? It starts at the top as trump’s says. Sooo Trump should be fired right!?
artie lusk “Donald Trump is not a politician” True. He’s also not good at anything else either.
Vaughn Besley they are trying to take out the Traitors from last couple of administrations that nearly destroyed the country. Trump was put in as president because he was the only one that couldn’t be bought…..DO SOME REASERCH
Mitchell Deliman you idiot…those dead people and animals all vote Democrat every year.._they are needed😂😂😂
artie lusk 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Jangus Roundstone bet he has more money than you and lives a better lifestyle bahahahaha

@King of America 🤔are those tax payer funded like the police, who are the most egregious abusers of the nanny state??
Don’t forget the surgeon in charge of housing 🤦🏾♂️
@Fitawrari Fitness
The NBA partially are, mostly from state governments building courts for them.
@King of America Save money on your sisters contraception. Stop touching her.
Hiring problem? You don’t say. Next you’re gonna tell us he cheated on all his wives and went bankrupt 6 times.
Only six times? That ma be on the financial side. Try moral bankruptcy
Ahhh he has three wives, 9 bankruptcies , casinos crashed and burn, university also crashed and burned, and other businesses also crashed and burned and many more.
TRUMP”I only hire the best people”
TRUMP”You will be tired of winning”

@Mueller Time Mr Flynn must have the pee pee tapes
@Mueller Time The man who pled guilty? That Michael Flynn? Fired by two presidents…if Trump is considered a president.
@Super Saiyan Thanks for telling us what you sanction.
@Domepeace_ltd productions
Yeah, that was a dumb thing Biden said and apologized for.
Now…let’s see how many dumb, asinine things tRump has said.
…then again, that would take hours…try Google.

There has been a parade of over rated generals, mentally unqualified, dumb as rock senior officials being fired from this administration.
It’s time to fire the bozo who keeps hiring these horrible people.
And if they turn out to be smarter than him, they get fired.
Alternative title: Donald Trump has a problem.
A God/ mein Furer/ dictator wanna be COMPLEX..
It seems more a personality disorder. I would advise to do some psychiatric tests before allowing being candidate for president.
goodhttps://youtu.be/oT6aLBBRhGA
a test on the constitution, history, geography and science should be required.
@Guido D.G. I agree, it’s not exactly what my comment says (I was paraphrasing, because it’s not just hiring he’s terrible at). To me, we suffer from his Narcissistic Personality Disorder (he doesn’t suffer from it at all, until things catch up with him, that is…)
“success in business??!” with all those bankruptcies and fraud charges? I don’t think so.
@crook on the run ___YES, help the others to understand it!!..06/25/20

It’s difficult to hire…when most are corrupt.

Most of the sheeple that follows cnn will NEVER COMPREHEND what you just said. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@foxy brown Watched the video. Cliffnotes: some liberals were mean to this liberal dude and were dismissive, so all liberals are bad, and that automatically makes conservatives good. I hate to break it to ya, but shitty people exist everywhere. As do good people. Both of these groups have literally tens of millions of people in this country, so the idea that one group is good and the other is bad is fucking stupid.
@Bruh Moment Not in prison.
People are disposable to him. Why has pompeo been around so long? He’s a horrible person.
A ‘very stable genius’ … what a dope and fraud.
I heard someone bought Boltons book. Probably him.
