John Kelly, Rex Tillerson, Jeff Sessions, John Bolton, I could go on and on and on. He has always done this and always will because in the end dictators only trust themselves and maybe their family.

If they love their family it’s only because they see them as an extension of themselves.

None of his kids seem to be involved this time around. In Trump one his admin had his three oldest and Kushner all in.

Well, it's not like he gave any thoughts to his appointments to begin with. Qualifications are limited to people with a ton of money, sycophants, and Fox personalities. So they screw up & he needs to blame someone and they become not only expendable but enemies who must be punished.

Dictators also, by necessity, cannot have anyone of ability in a position to challenge them lest they invite usurpation. This is also why they cannot cultivate a successor.

At first glance I thought "picks" said "pricks". Still works, of course.

People ask why someone like John Kelly doesn't appear in public and say what he said in interview, im sure he and numerous others will and would do so under a different environment and if testifying in congress will explain the realities that limited their expression (ie death threats etc)
