CBS News reporter Paula Reid asked President Donald Trump a hard question on Thursday, one that more journalists should ask him.
At the end of a roundtable discussion with governors on the reopening of Americas small businesses, Reid tried to get the president to answer one more very pertinent question: Why do you keep hiring people that you believe are wackos and liars?

The question was, of course, a reference to Trumps attacks on former national security advisor John Bolton, whom he called a wacko, a dope, incompetent and a disgruntled boring fool, among other epithets. Trump was reacting to unflattering disclosures in Boltons upcoming book, The Room Where It Happened.

(7,919 posts)No matter what anyone was in a former job or career Trump only feels comfortable around people if he diminishes them. Thus to him all of his "subordinates" are thugs, or worse. Since he has no loyalty to them they are disposable once he decides it, and therefore subject to his anger and abuse.
