WHAT 17 OF
TRUMP’S ‘BEST
PEOPLE’ SAID
ABOUT HIM

By Sarah Longwell

Ms. Longwell is the publisher of The Bulwark,
a conservative news outlet, and the founder
of the Republican Accountability Project.

 

In the history of presidential cabinets, former President Donald Trump’s stands out for two qualities: turnover and dissension. Mr. Trump churned through cabinet-level appointees so fast that at times it seemed like he was still on “The Apprentice” and had to fire one official every week. These appointees didn’t start out opposed to Mr. Trump. Not only are they people whom Mr. Trump chose — he claimed he would hire the “best people” — they are people who thought Mr. Trump was worth working for. But many of them quickly became alarmed by Mr. Trump’s personality, temperament and policy aims.

This matters because, as his comfortable victory at the Iowa caucuses demonstrates, Mr. Trump is almost certain to be the Republican nominee for president for a record-matching third time (only Richard Nixon was nominated as often) and has coin-flip odds of becoming president again. Judging only by the words of many former high-level appointees, a second Trump term would be catastrophic for the country. There was endless reporting that was critical of Mr. Trump’s administration. Some of this criticism may be cast as unreliable because it came from anonymous or hopelessly biased sources. But people who worked closely with Mr. Trump — whom he trusted, who worked with him every day, who saw him in private when the cameras were off — cannot be so easily dismissed.

Those who have spoken out must continue to do so, and those who have been content to silently hope that Mr. Trump’s campaign would self-destruct should break their silence. They must take their concerns directly to the voters — the only people who can save us from the disaster of a second term of President Trump.

The Servicemen

Mark Milley

A career Army officer who served in a variety of roles and regions before becoming chief of staff of the Army, then chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on Oct. 1, 2019. Mr. Trump never fired him, but he did later suggest he deserved execution. Mr. Milley criticized Mr. Trump in a speech without naming him.

Richard Spencer

Secretary of the Navy from Aug. 3, 2019, to Nov. 24, 2019, and a Marine veteran who spent most of his career in finance. He was fired after he asked Mr. Trump not to reverse the Navy SEAL Eddie Gallagher’s demotion as punishment for a war crime.

Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people — does not even pretend to try. Instead, he tries to divide us. We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership. We can unite without him, drawing on the strengths inherent in our civil society.”

Mark Esper

Secretary of Defense from Jul. 23, 2019, to Nov. 9, 2020, and an Army veteran whose first public disagreement with Mr. Trump came when he opposed using active-duty military personnel to control protests after the death of George Floyd. He was fired before he could resign.

Rex Tillerson

Secretary of State from Feb. 1, 2017, to March 31, 2018, and a businessman who spent his entire career at ExxonMobil. Mr. Trump publicly challenged him to “I.Q. tests” before apparently thinking better of it and firing him by tweet.

The fact of the matter is he is a consummate narcissist and he constantly engages in reckless conduct that puts his political followers at risk and the conservative and Republican agenda at risk. … He will always put his own interest and gratifying his own ego ahead of everything else, including the country’s interest. There’s no question about it. … He’s like a 9-year-old, a defiant 9-year-old kid, who’s always pushing the glass toward the edge of the table defying his parents to stop him from doing it.”

John Bolton

White House national security adviser from Apr. 9, 2018, to Sept. 10, 2019. He is a lawyer who was assistant attorney general for Ronald Reagan and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. Whether he was fired or resigned is a matter of dispute.

He later made a short-lived run for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.

17 people, the BEST PEOPLE, highly qualified and with long service in the military or as elected officials, with mounds of education, who willingly signed on to work with him, should be seen as reputable and reliable in their assessment, I would say.

Trump got a lot of bad advice when he staffed his administration.  Jeff Sessions, Christopher Wray just to name a couple of the worst .... Most were deep state rats trying to sabotage his administration.  He was still draining the swamp when he left office ... Washington D.C. is full of swamp creatures that need to be exterminated .... These 17 were traitors .....
