Trump admits to some poor appointments in first term

 PJ Media:

It was a rather telling moment, when Rogan started to ask him about bad advice he may have been given while he was president. Trump, used the opportunity to answer a key question that you don't see many politicians willing to answer honestly.

"Oh, yeah. I think so. The one question that you'll ask me, that I think you'll ask me, that people seem to ask, and I always come up with the same answer.," Trump said. "If—the one mistake—because I did, I had a lot of success. Great economy. Great everything. Everything was great. We would — the military, we rebuilt it. Biggest tax cuts in history. All this stuff, we did we had a great presidency. Three supreme court justices—most people get none—you know, you pick them young, this way, they're there for 50 years. Right? So, you know, even if a president is there for eight years, oftentimes, they never have a chance. I had three. It was sort of the luck of the draw."

Trump continued: "But I will say that it always comes back to the same answer. The biggest mistake I made was I picked some people—I picked some great people. You know? But you don't think about that—I picked some people that I shouldn't have picked. I picked a few people that I shouldn't have picked, and—"

"Neocons?" asked Rogan.

"Yeah, neocons or bad people or disloyal people or—"

"People that were just bad—you got bad advice."

"Yeah. I mean, look. I mean, you're reading about him a little bit today. A guy like Kelly who is a bully—a bully, but a weak, a weak person—You know? You know more about bullies than anybody probably around, because you deal in a certain sport where the bullies are exposed very quickly. "

Trump's Supreme Court selections were good.  Some of his political appointments were mistakes.  I suspect that was because of his not knowing them well enough.  That is likely because he was not an active politician before becoming presdient.
