Why do so many of Trump's former Cabinet officers refuse to endorse him?

[Mazungu]

"It is rare for Cabinet members to not support the president they served. They are normally some of a president’s most loyal supporters. But in the case of Trump’s Cabinet, these uniquely qualified insiders — spanning from the vice president and chiefs of staff to more than a dozen agencies, such as Agriculture, Commerce, Homeland Security and Transportation — are deeply divided about whether he should return to power."

Probably because he's a son-of-a-*****. But he's our son-of-a-*****, as they say. The country didn't fall apart when he was President last time so there is no reason why it should fall apart this time. FFS we have had a dementia patient as President for nearly 4 years and the deep state made all the decisions for the puppet.

Good question.  And the answer is that they know him best.

The more people know Trump, the less they like him.

I agree. There is something wrong with a boss when his subordinates describe him in these terms:

 

Former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said Trump had the understanding of “a fifth- or sixth-grader.”

 

Former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly called Trump “an idiot” and said he thought the president was “unhinged.” 

 

Omarosa Manigault Newman called Trump a “racist, misogynist and bigot.” 

 

Former National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster said Trump was a “dope” with the intelligence of a “kindergartner.” 

 

Former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon said Trump was “like an 11-year-old child.”

 

Former National Security Advisor John Bolton said of Trump, “I don’t think he’s fit for office. I don’t think he has the competence to carry out the job.”

 

Former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called Trump a "f..ing moron."

Probably the same staffers that know they won't be invited back if Trump is elected. And know that their fat consulting contracts with Big Business, Big Pharma, and the MIC depend on having a tax and spend (and spend some more) career politician in the White House.  Vivek spilled the beans when he suggested they could dismantle 75% of wasteful gub'ment agencies.

Ah yes, an OP citing the well known and non-partisan Maddow Blog...

 

...anything to deflect from an actual discussion of policy and positions on important issues.

Go ahead and deflect. I agree you should check a source for intentional bias. But this piece wasn't written by Maddow...and facts aren't biased. A better strategy is to attack the substance.

No, it is republished from her blog at MSNBC.    Written by the producer of the Rachel Maddow Show.  Intentional bias? Yeah.

Where is the bias? Or can you please dispute the facts?

That Trump wasn't fit for the office is an understatement
