Recent inquires to several AI systems reveal that Donald Trumps claims of "being able to pick the best and brightest people" seems to have back fired on him as many of his picks get fired or resign during his tenure as POTUS as shown here:

 

Based on available data from the last 30 years (which primarily covers the administrations of Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden), Donald Trump has had the highest turnover in both cabinet picks and advisors.

Here's a breakdown:

 

Cabinet Turnover: 

     Donald Trump had 18 cabinet-level resignations during his presidency, significantly more than George W. Bush (3) or Barack Obama (8)..

 

Advisor/Senior Staff ("A-Team") Turnover:

     Trump's "A-Team" turnover reached 92% by the end of his term, compared to 74% for Bill Clinton and 71% for Barack Obama. His first-year turnover was also notably higher than predecessors.

 

Elon Musk:

    POTUS golden boy Musk is the latest in a long line of "fast friends" that have turned on Trump. Even  Musk, a confirmed Ketamine addict couldn't stand Trumps erratic and uninformed decisions concerning the economy and a host of other issues. DOGE has crumbled in the wake of fabricated figures and out and out falsehoods.

So, to post surveys from a pretty well established right leaning survey group doesn't say much. Here's is a summary assessment.

 

The Trafalgar Group has a unique place in the polling landscape. They earned a strong reputation for their 2016 predictions, which they attribute to their "shy voter" methodology. However, their subsequent performance has been mixed, and they face ongoing criticism for their opaque methodology and perceived Republican bias, leading to a fluctuating reputation for the accuracy of their surveys

 

  • Gallup:

    • Latest (May 1-18, 2025): 43% approval, 53% disapproval.
    • Key insight: Gallup notes that independent views of Trump have changed meaningfully this year, now at 33% approval versus 46% in January. His approval reflects 90% from Republicans and 4% from Democrats. Gallup is considered a gold standard for consistent, long-term presidential approval tracking.
  • Pew Research Center:

    • Latest (April 7-13, 2025): 40% approval, 59% disapproval.
    • Key insight: Pew reported a 7-point drop in his approval since February, with a more pronounced decline among less enthusiastic supporters and 2024 nonvoters. Pew is known for its in-depth research and commitment to nonpartisanship.
  • Reuters/Ipsos:

    • Latest (May 17-19, 2025): 42% approval.
    • Key insight: This poll found a slight dip from the previous week (44%) and matches the lowest level of his new term. They also note Americans have a "dour view" of his handling of the economy. Ipsos is a global research company that conducts polls for Reuters, generally seen as a reliable source.

The post is about staff and cabinet turnover, not personal knowledge and abilities of staff.

 

Do you know how to use an AI interface?

 

Ask it this question. Compare Donald Trumps individual cabinet and advisor qualifications against Joe Bidens

Trump learned from his first term that loyalty in Cabinet is important. It is Politics 101.  Most presidents are elected with enough political experience to know this.  It was his failure. Having said that, the current cabinet is both loyal and skilled.

Arguments can be made for any and all of the above. I notice you chose not to address any of the undeniably smart people I mentioned though...

Deflection from what? Some other silly leftist (not you) claimed someone wasn't qualified because they were 22.

I sincerely hope you're joking, because calling a cabinet that consists of (among others) Pete Hegseth, Christi Noem, and JFK Jr competent is like calling the maiden voyage of the Titanic pretty uneventful.

No 22 y/o is suited for higher office of any kind. Not because they're stupid (they may, or may not, be) but because they're still kids.

Thinking that kids can be put in such positions is stupid.

Who was in the job under the last administration? 

 

Why do you assume it was a "higher office"?

I don't think it's age so much as the complete lack of experience.

Will you defend absolutely everything Trump does until the day you die? It's comical. Even incredible people make mistakes and can be criticised (not that Trump comes under that category, my God).

No idea, why don't you ask one? 

I certainly don't think young people are stupid. I just think they don't have experience especially to lead in such senior roles in such crucial departments. Do you? It seems his main qualities are being cheap (after "doge" cut numbers in that department by 20%) and he is a self described "Trumplican".

 

What other qualifications does he have to be in such a role? Wouldn't you want someone with anti-terrorism experience to lead an anti-terrorist department? No? Thought anti terrorism was quite important...

The quote was "a 22yo intern is in charge of HS anti terrorist section". Not exactly janitor assistant level, is it.

Look, you lashed out and made a fool out of yourself. Just let it be and in a few days all will be forgotten.

OK, bud?

I agree with all you said except this. IMO a 22 y/o cannot be experienced in anything, perhaps except for beating the meat.

You are lying again. I do not defend everything Trump does, nor am I defending him for this appointment. 

 

All I said was I did not think being 22 was a disqualifier

 

Who was in the job under the last administration? 

 

Is it really a high-level position? 

 

What were the day-to-day duties?

 

What was the job description? 


Was he just holding the spot until they could find somebody? 

 

All I know is that the same people howling about this guy have howled about everyone.

Don't know, but pretty sure it was a grown-up.

What's wrong with your internet since you cannot check the answer to your own question? Has Google blocked you?
