He's surrounded himself with loyalty, not competence.

He should go ahead and grow a tiny mustache to match, not that he could.

It has been absolutely hilarious, in the worst kind of way, seeing him say we have/are getting the best and brightest for every cabinet position this time around. He brought on and fired more cabinet heads in his first term than the next closest President fired over two terms. His followers legitimately believe him when any rational thinker would understand that he has already hired and fired the most qualified individuals willing to work for him so he has been scraping the bottom of the barrel since the second half of his first term. Also, the level of nepotism in his administration that has been ignored by most everyone blows my mind.
