On a Difference Between Trump 1.0 and 2.0

Cabinet churn was one of the most prominent features of the first Trump term. This time, not so much. Why the difference?

Because this time, Trump’s minions understand that competent department management is not the point; the essential job qualifications are complete subservience and the willingness to wreck. They are meeting the new standards with gusto. Don’t expect a boatload of tell-all books from this crowd when it’s all over.
