This weekend, former President Donald Trump appeared on “Sunday Morning Futures” and revealed what he perceives to be the ‘only mistake’ he made during his time in the White House: who he chose as his cabinet members.
Anchor Maria Bartiromo asked, “Is there is anything you could look back on in 16 that you think maybe you want to do differently?”
Trump replied, “The mistake would be people. I mean, I wouldn’t have put a guy like Bill Barr, and he was weak and pathetic. I wouldn’t have put Jeff Sessions. And there are some people that I wouldn’t have put in. You know, most people were good, but I had some people, we had Esper. I didn’t like him. He was incompetent. I thought we had other people I didn’t like.”
Bartiromo pressed, “Why did you put them in the job then?”
Trump answered, “You put somebody in, and you think they are good.”
He continued, “All of a sudden, I’m the president of the United States, and it’s like a different society. I was New York, and, you know, it was a different thing. So I didn’t know people. I became president. I’m riding down Pennsylvania Avenue with our first lady. I had 250 motorcycles. I had armies. I had everything. I said, do you believe it? We’re president. Take a look. This is wild, right? But I never was involved in that.”

Bartiromo inquired, “So you didn’t know what to expect.”
Trump responded, “Well, I didn’t know the people. I know the people now better than anybody has ever known. The people I know, the good ones, the bad ones, the dumb ones, the smart ones.”
Bartiromo pried, “You didn’t drain the swamp like you said you would.”
“I did,” Trump shot back. “I fired Comey. I fired a lot of people. A lot of the people I had, I fired. I fired Comey very early. And, you know, there was a question as to whether or not you could. But I fired Comey. If I didn’t fire Comey, I don’t think I would have been able to serve out my term because that was a plot.”
He also listened to too many RINOs like McConnell which won’t happen again.
he screwed up by not emptying the swamp. you worried more about a 2nd term then doing your job in the 1st term. as you see , that didn’t work out as planned. you let a open door for the Communist democrat party to walk in. and here we are knee deep in their BS suffering cause of it. that’s why you lost my vote. should of did what you said you would, not back off to win. thats what you did wrong.
I ave to agree about Barr but he also trusted McConnell and other RINOs who were supposed to be on his side.
