Michael Lewis basically looked into the Trump transition team and the early part of his presidency in a few of the cabinet positions--Energy, Commerce and Agriculture. It just pissed me off even more about our president. I was not a fan of Chris Christie but thought it was appropriate that during the summer before the convention, Christie recognized Trump's team was under qualified on setting up a transition team. He steps up & starts work on this as is mandated even while getting push back from Trump himself because he didn't see the need. Then once elected, days afterward, Christie & all his work on vetting people for appointments is out. What a scary thought and then basically no transition happened--no help or training the new people coming in with what all of this is about. This is not just about the cabinet secretary level but many many levels in all these departments. This is why you cannot elect a stupid anti-establishment president. Anti-establishment fine, but most would recognize or soon learn to recognize the importance of our government departments. Trump doesn't and seems to have not learned this either. I still remember Rubio basically pointing out that Trump didn't want to learn or had any real interest in how the government works in a debate and how true this is being proven. Ok, enough ranting but wow I just hope 4 years is enough, a re-election of this guy would be too much for this country. By the way I am usually a very dependable Republican voter but Trump has turned me off this party. Of course I don't see myself fitting in the Dems either but they are the lesser of the 2 evils at this point.
There are 40 some WL for this book in PBS so I will get it posted soon & mail it off, need to encourage others to read it.
