But, Dan, there's far more evidence of people of good will and expertise who DID go to work for Trump -- and eventually got driven out. Trump talks "two-way street"? THAT's the two-way street.

Do you assume that anyone whose tenure in office is impermament did no good?

Oh my God. Dan. Sure, Marie Yovanovich did some good. Until Trump found her.

So, we are worse off for her having been in the job? That's the question.

Of course not. But you're gaslighting by saying that the current situation is exacerbated by those who encouraged competent people not to work for Trump -- when there is FAR more evidence that, if they were competent, they would likely not still be there now anyway.

My argument is straightforward: telling good people who would otherwise take those jobs not to take them is bad & makes things worse. You disagree?

In a vacuum, I don't disagree. But imparting some blame for the current crisis on people who said YEARS ago not to work for Trump -- when we have a solid body of evidence of what happened to the "good people" who DID go to work -- seems disingenuous.

I think "gaslighting" covered it nicely.

It's worse, Dan, because he destroys competent people in public, which is eating away at the base for good people to join up in the future. Are we worse off? Yes. Bad policy thrives anyway, while good people are destroyed, and their heads put on pikes as warnings to others.

I agree 100% that Trump's burn rate & treatment of the people who work for him (the bad ones too, see Bannon) makes it harder to attract good people to this Admin.

I think the advice is “Don’t work for him because he won’t listen, he won’t act, he’ll insist you share in his mendacity and corruption, and also by the way you will lose your self-respect, the respect of your colleagues, family and friends, and risk losing your soul.” So, 50/50.
