The bottom of the barrel has been scraped clean.

[multigraincracker]

If TFG were to ever get back in, who would be in his administration? Who's left to be his advisors? Who is left to be his lawyers
Proof he'll never be in that office again.

1. his first string wasn't too swift either.

[underpants]

4. He never had a first string

Especially at the staff level. Usually people take a break from law school or an MBA for a chance to work in the White House, not with Trump. He started with a lot of C league and then the turn over started.

They ended up drastically low staffed. The Biden team (a lot of people) were aware of it and started planning around catching up going back to about this time last year.

2. Chief advisor

And, yes, bottom of the barrel:

[Lovie777]

3. Russian and so called American patriots . . . ..

The bottom of the barrel has been scraped clean to where it caused many holes to hell.

5. Let's hope you are right. IMO, he is only saying he is running to get the donations and/or to

get back into the Oval to avoid prosecution for his alleged crimes.

He's met the end of the road. No longer will he be entitled to living his dreams free of consequences like he has most of his life, and those who follow him are turning their backs. So, the end of the road will soon be painful and unbearable for him. Long overdue.

[PatSeg]

15. Oh I agree

He isn't running for president, he is just running more scams. I also agree, he is facing the end of the road and it is pathetic watching him try to hold everything together with his perceived enemies storming the castle. A long lifetime of no accountability is coming to end and payment is now due in full.

If he had any knowledge of history, he would have seen it coming. Shoot, even in the movies, we all know what happens to the Trump-like character in the end. If the gods are merciful, madness will overtake him, making him less aware of the loss and humiliation.

6. From your lips.. I mean, rim.

[tinrobot]

7. What do you mean? He always hires the "best" people.

Only after they leave, do they suddenly become the "worst" people.

[Mister Ed]

8. Next step: start scraping his way through the barrel bottom.

After that, he could always try scraping through the floor underneath the barrel.

[Merlot]

9. Never underestimate the bottom for republicans...

they can always dig deeper.

[tblue37]

10. Mike Lindell, Sidney Powell, Lin Wood, etc.

[zaj]

11. Very misguided thinking...

You think he wants qualifed people. He has 80 million people who will fill seats and eagerly destroy 250 years of American democracy.

[empedocles]

12. There are still more prospective, criminal types, out there

[world wide wally]

13. He will do it all by himself

[NCDem47]

14. There's always the floor that the barrel sits on.

There is no bottom for Republicans.

[lastlib]

16. I suggest there is plenty of scum (and a few snakes) UNDER the barrel.....

...that he can scrape up. QAnon Shaman might get pardoned to be SecDef.

[Ocelot II]

17. There is no bottom to TFG's barrel.

There are always plenty of horrible people eager to latch onto his orange teats, and if - God help us - he comes back, he'll have all the wretched hangers-on he wants. They won't last long, of course; Trumpists are clearly slow learners. But they'll be there, clamoring for his attention and favor.
