"I know the people now better than anybody's ever known the people
WASHINGTON — In seeking to regain the White House, former President
Donald Trump is playing defense over his longtime target of "the swamp,"
a nickname he has used to allege a so-called "rigged" system in Washington.
Trump acknowledged over the weekend he made mistakes with personnel appointments during his term in office, saying they were insufficiently loyal to him. GOP primary opponents and commentators, meanwhile, said he simply failed to follow through on his pledge to "drain the swamp" of
the federal bureaucracy.
While Trump described some of his his hires as "weak," "pathetic," and "incompetent," Bartiromo asked why he hired these people in the first place.
Trump said he lacked Washington experience when he was elected in 2016
and is a bit of a doofus.
This time around, he said: "I know the people now better than anybody's
ever known the people. I know the good ones, the bad ones, the dumb
ones, the smart ones, I think the loyal ones."
