Why did Trump appoint so many incompetent underqualified sycophants to government positions? (lemmy.world)

Trump has filled his administration with sycophantic loyalists instead of highly competent and experienced people. Anyone else worried about this? Why did Republicans in congress confirm them?

The more the government sucks, the less people will rely on it, or expect it to function well. A weak, hobbled government is great for the rich and powerful, but not so great for you and me.

Donakd only cares about loyalty. Actual competence and intelligence can be a liability.

It's not a good idea having incompetent cult members in positions of power.

No it is not. Additionally, placing loyalty above ability is a sign of both narcissism and insecurity.
