Uh oh! Looks like Trump the Terrible is having difficulty filling out his administration..

[YoungDemCA]

Donald Trump bragged throughout the presidential campaign that his team was small but effective. It is a lean approach some see him bringing to the White House as well, at least early on. And that is raising some concern.

For example, the President-elect has filled the top jobs on his National Security Council staff. But Julie Pace of the Associated Press reports that many of the NSC staff jobs remain vacant just days before the inauguration.

"The big-name jobs are obviously filled, but at the National Security Council and some of the other White House agencies people are expecting a lot of empty desks when he moves in on Friday," Pace said Sunday on CNN's "Inside Politics."

"Again, this isn't something that the public will always see. But these behind-the-scenes jobs at the White House are really crucial to keeping operations running, especially in crisis moments. "

Gee, I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't love to work for the incoming administration.

Sad!

3. Brainchild Jared asked on their first (only?) White House visit...

How many of the staff need to be replaced?

Answer: all of them.

They have absolutely no idea what they are doing.

9. Yes they do...

a clean sweep leaves room for all those illegals from Russia to fill those jobs since we are now a :property" of Russia, or soon will be.

2. All of the Obama appointees would leave, naturally.

I remember reading that drumpf didn't realize that all of the jobs in the WH were by appointment. Guess he only knows the big shots and wouldn't concern himself with lower-echelon staff?

4. I think he hoped to intimidate them all by "firing" their bosses ....

And never realized someone needs to be there to hire staff?

[femmocrat]

5. LOL

Hope so! However, I am disturbed about his firing all the ambassadors on Jan. 20 with no one to head up the embassies. That is just reckless and frightening.

Such unbelievable hubris and ineptitude is mind-boggling.

7. Yeah, I know some here mock those concerns by reminding us that their support staff

Are very competent and it will be fine.... but I don't think anyone knows how many of the embassy's support workers will be remaining. And honestly, just the idea of so many people who have not had this kind of responsibility working with Trump's new hires- also very inexperienced it seems.

I've gone through some work shake ups where a lot of roles were suddenly filled with inexperienced people with the wrong skills sets and the company still hasn't recovered five years later. They haven't figured out that it was a mistake.

10. 'They haven't figured out that it was a mistake.' Fortunately, Trump doesn't make mistakes

Just ask him. If he'll let you.

8. I hope, truly hope, he has to answer the phone...LOL..n/t

6. It was priceless when he thought he inherited the entire WH staff....

then the POTUS said he has to find the people to turned the lights on and make the coffee among all the countless other jobs.
