Only the best grabbers of the kitty for Trumpy (Cain to Fed)

Trump says he's recommending Herman Cain to Fed

Trump is pushing Herman Cain for a seat on the Federal Reserve Board. He calls him a "terrific person" and "fine friend". The same Herman Cain who had to drop out of the presidential race due to accusations of sexual harassment.

Does this really strike anyone as getting the best people?

Yeah I just don't quite follow what the fuck he is thinking here.

I get that he has some business history - I don't get how he is qualified to understand shit about our federal reserve and overall macro economics.

If I understand correctly, he was involved with the Federal Reserve In Kansas at some point. How much relevant experience he actually got, I don't know. But he's at least done SOMETHING in that field. Which makes him more qualified than half the people the Orange Clown nominates. Although that's a pretty fucking low standard.

The only qualification Trump requires out of people he has any say over is if they can be controlled by him or not, if they are willing to break laws in order to do his bidding, if they are willing to protect him and his interests no matter how blatant, no matter how egregious his word and deeds are.

Fealty is worth more than any other qualification he could ever think of. He wants total control over any individual that may affect the self-image he wishes to project.

He constantly screws things up and he wants his cronies, his minions to provide cover for those flops of his. He will also require that while in the act of providing cover, his servants will also obediently praise him as the courageous patriotic genius that he is.

Trump does not require loyalty because loyalty involves something redeeming and noteworthy in/of a person. In his version of loyalty, he only requires absolute obedience and above all, the willingness to sacrifice their self-respect, their self-regard, their instinct for survival, their honor; in short, their all.

Want examples? Huckabee Sanders and Kellyanne Conway for starters. Just look at what those two characters have had to do to keep their jobs.

Pathetic.

Thought he was for raising interest rates, something Trump is vehemently against

Why are you acting like this is unusual for Trump?
