“Fuck the system” and by extension, the people who know it. Compounding on this, in DCs viewpoint, major strategic error, Trump, perhaps in an effort to “drain the swamp”, has avoided hiring or working with anyone who knows how to navigate it. 5/n

For example, he ditched Reince Priebus and many other career politicians who could’ve been quite useful in enacting his agenda. Combine this with his lack of control and rapport with the media and Trump is stuck working in a self-created caustic environment 6/n

Which to him, probably only solidifies the idea in his mind that DC doesn’t work, resulting in a self-perpetuating feedback loop of political dysfunction. Anyways, that’s what I learned from speaking to thoughtful people in DC. Was enlightening for me, hope it was for you. 7/7
