When loyalty to a person becomes the prime criterion for hiring…. that’s exactly what you get.
Yes, but I was surprised at the people already in place too. I was mostly surprised that there wasn't more of a rigid structure where the person "had to do this", instead it was just a norm that could be dispensed with at will and no repercussions. It made me wonder - I think there's more norms than I can think of in the government. I hadn't really thought too much about how the government ran on norms and that someone like Trump could change a lot with no repercussions because it isn't illegal or against the regs. All those memorandums can have no force behind them. Now it's writ large. I don't know how much of the guard rails depends on that, and I think it's more than I can think of.
