Of course, they blame Trump for being too picky.<\/p>\n<p>The Times says the problem is Trump\u2019s demand for \u201cloyalty.\u201d Many candidates have washed out of the interview process due to vicious things they said about Trump during the campaign.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-222401\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/00-Rush-Morning-Update-9.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"199\" height=\"137\"><\/p>\n<p>The Times is especially upset that Trump nixed Elliot Abrams for a high-ranking State Department job. Abrams was an Assistant Secretary of State under Reagan, and a Deputy National Security Adviser for Bush 43.<\/p>\n<p>Abrams admits a lot of tough things were said about Trump, but he told the Times he had hoped Trump would focus on \u201cjust hiring the most effective people to help him govern, rather than looking back to what we said in the race.\u201d He thought he could slam Trump and still make the team. Apparently that\u2019s wrong.<\/p>\n<p>The Times complains that Trump ruled out almost an entire generation of Republican policy types from serving. They say his management style is unprecedented and out of the mainstream. Why does the Times want a bunch of Republicans in there? Has anyone asked that?<\/p>\n<p>Let me&nbsp;give&nbsp;some news here for the Times. Trump supporters don\u2019t share your concerns. They see Obama holdovers and defiant civil servants openly sabotaging Trump\u2019s agenda. The last thing a president needs is disloyal people around him,&nbsp;especially in top positions.<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty of snakes in Washington as it is. I think it\u2019s a good thing that Trump can spot them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: The last thing a president needs is disloyal people around him, especially in top positions.
