Trump's Team of Flunkies

Peter Bergen wrote an article for CNN on Trump's constantly changing cabinet of yes men and flunkies.

What a difference two years make. Back then, John Kelly, a former four-star Marine general, was Trump's chief of staff; James Mattis, another retired four-star Marine general, was US secretary of defense; H.R. McMaster, a three-star general and war hero with a PhD, was national security adviser; Rex Tillerson, who had run ExxonMobil, one of the world's largest corporations, was secretary of state, and Gary Cohn, the former COO and president of Goldman Sachs, was Trump's chief economic adviser.

On a routine basis, this group would debate and even challenge President Trump.

They have all long since moved on. Trump has now surrounded himself with yes-men and is running his Cabinet like he used to run his real estate company -- as a one-man show surrounded by flunkies.
