He has a small and select inner circle of people he really trusts.

Unfortunately few of them have the skills needed for their appointed place at the Trump government table.

So . . . .Fealty to the King = yes.
Competence to run the country = NO.

Expect some insane levels of chaos over the next 4 years.

Trump isn't a clear thinker and knows little about how to run the business of the USA, and delegating decisions to more capable and intelligent others isn't going to happen.
