President Donald Trump Now Must Settle For Second-Rate Talent: WaPo | Morning Joe | MSNBC

Wait.
Do RATS get ON a sinking ship?
Unless they think there's food, right?
aka a fat paycheck

[RogerSullivanNOLA]

He started with third rate hacks, the fourth rate hacks are turning him down now.

[heatherracho]

2 more years people and if we are lucky muller can get us out early for time served 😛 😉 i feel like it's been 10 years 😵😩

[gunningju]

Tilerson is smart: when Trump wanted him to something illegal, Tillerson declined, saying you can ask Congress to change the law...otherwise Tillerson will be in legal trouble too.

[roncollins]

Get Sara Palin! If the GOP thought that she could be VP why not chief of staff?

[michaelramon]

1:40 Can we just take a second to acknowledge that without sound it looks like Trump and Schumer are communicating via sign language?

[gwheyduke]

Some people (individual 1) Just don't learn !

[apestronauts]

LMAO @ "must settle" like he ever had top of the line staff!

[creeperdet]

Second rate? He's been scrapping the bottom of the gutter the entire time.

[truthtroll]

Hes used to working with second rate talent, just look at the cast of the apprentice! 🤣

[MrROKinROK]

"unbriefable"
Never thought about it that way but SO true.

[desertportal]

Second rate talent? That would be an improvement. Maybe a little more integrity. No I think he'll dip down to below third rate or fourth rate. His base.

[earlenewallace]

Second grade talent for a zero grade president.

[peterblood]

Hahaha Well, that would be an upgrade from the 3rd-rate talent he's been using so far.

[jansenart]

Any WHCoS is going to have to hire a competent lawyer at some point. Those guys are expensive.

[Sonofspam]

Why would 2nd rate talent want to work for a 4th rate spoiled inheritance baby?

[IanMcGarrett]

Jarjarvanka's appeal has certainly tumbled of late, what with Jarjar palling around with someone who styles himself after a villain from Disney's Aladdin, and Vanka unable to convince her boy toy to take the job of presidential baby sitter.

[DavidJ]

Trump has lived his entire life by one rule:!" Ignorance is strength." He truly believes that his ignorance is equal to anyone's knowledge or expertise. Hmmf😞

[sarahmccoy]

Why not just cut out the middle men?
Trump should just go to Russia and bring back one of their agents to serve as his Chief of Staff. Comrade!

[Ahmedkhan]

This presidency is horrifying. I thought Nixon's second term was the worst - 1973 worst of all - but that was a breath of fresh air compared to all this. And 33% are Trump's hard core? Why isn't it 5%?? It speaks to how shallow we Americans are politically.
