I agree with you. One of Trump's short comings is his loyalty. Jeff Sessions was the very first Republican Senator to endorse him. Sessions had an illustrious record as a prosecutor in Alabama so it wasn't a bad pick on paper. Sessions is an honorable man with a strict code of personal ethics. When he gave his word about recusing himself it hamstrung him. He was also too timid. Rex Tillerson was not a politician and was in over his head. Pompeo was an excellent replacement.

Unfortunately Trump is not going to be able to ape Reagan and Reagan's charming ability to use humor to calm the situation and bring it back into perspective.

With all of Trump's personality quirks I would go down on my knees in gratitude if we could get him back into the White House now.
