Do you think Trump recruited all those unqualified or incompetent people because he could pull their strings?

Yes. Shrink to fit politics, (leadership. )

Of course.

He needs someone to blame or a body to do things to deflect saying it wasn’t him that did things.
The man has no conscience.

Maybe he thinks if they look like idiots he won’t look so bad.

He surprised us all by showing he has a sense of humor. As in appointing a woman to head NASA the ordering her to remove all references to women’s achievements. She is not even allowed to say she is “the first woman” in her position.

That is a given.

Yes.

Yes, he feels comfortable with all the felons, misfits and Neo-fascists.

I think some are because he thinks they are easy to control. Some to get money out of them or in cahoots with them. Some because they are pretty. Some because they will owe Trump a favor. Some he probably thinks the position doesn’t matter much and so he’ll put friends and family in so they adore him.

These puppets are well-known, just like WWF characters. Makes his fans feel familiar with them. Also, they have perfectly opposite qualities needed for their new jobs e.g. Tulsi Gabbard, a known Russian sympathizer for CIA, RFK Jr, a known health conspiracist for HHS, Dr. Oz, a known quack for Medicare. Perfect for taking down the US govt from inside. Everything makes sense if you imagine that Trump is taking orders from Putin.

Or so the person who pulls his strings can pull their strings, because they already do, and so they were on the list given to him.

I think Gabbard is competent but compromised.
