Fox News' Bret Baier is wrong. 45th President and leading 2024 presidential candidate Donald Trump does choose “the best people” and trying to discredit his ability to choose people is not only unfair but wrong, as well.
On Monday, during the first part of a Fox News interview between Trump and Baier, Baier attempted, but failed, to make the case that Trump does not hire the “best people.”
Baier began by playing a video montage of Trump pledging in 2016 to surround himself with “only the best and most serious people.”
Baier then proceeded to read a list of all of Trump's former aides and Cabinet secretaries who have since vowed to oppose his 2024 reelection bid:
Former Vice President Mike Pence, former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, National Security Adviser John Bolton, former Attorney General Bill Barr, former White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, and former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao.
“So why did you hire all of them in the first place?” Baier asked.
“I hired 10 to 1 that were fantastic. We had a great economy, we had phenomenal people in charge of the economy, we had phenomenal people in the military. I’m not a fan of Milley, I’m not a fan of the certain television people,” Trump said.
Bret Baier’s suggestion comes as 2024 presidential candidates, such as failed New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and absentee Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, have made the same point.
The mainstream media often attacks Trump for expecting loyalty from people he hires by claiming many of the people that have since turned on Trump took an oath to the United States Constitution, not Donald Trump.
Donald Trump is not just one man. He’s a representative for over 75 million Americans who voted him into office. Loyalty to Trump is loyalty to the United States Constitution.
Every person Trump hired was tremendous when Trump hired them.
William Barr, for example, did great work with Trump’s daughter, Ivanka Trump, to aid victims of human trafficking by providing over $35 million, reinstating the federal death penalty, and fighting special counsel Robert Mueller’s fraudulent Russia case.
Sadly, once the mainstream media began painting Barr as Trump’s “lap dog” and Democrats threatened to impeach him, Barr turned on him.
This applies to almost all of the disgruntled former Trump aides and Cabinet secretaries.
In reality, the group that does not choose “the best people” is Fox News, which has lost one-third of its primetime audience since the firing of Tucker Carlson.
For many viewers, Bret Baier started the downfall of Fox News when he made the controversial early projection that then-candidate Joe Biden would win the state of Arizona.

LOL, this little fascist in training has no idea what he is talking about. Loyalty to Trump is NOT loyalty to the Constitution, and anyone claiming otherwise has absolutely zero grasp of how democracies work. He offers no evidence for his ridiculous headline, merely using Bill Barr's hilarious conservative heel turn as a cover for the parade of former employees who are beyond disturbed by Trump's childish, incompetent, evil conduct. And then, in true conservative fashion, he cries in the last line because somebody at Fox had the gall to tell him the truth. Reed, like most Republicans, has nothing except outrage, narcissism, and entitlement, full stop. What an embarrassment of an article.

Hey Cooper - Why won't you give a list of 10 people who actually were good hires and accomplished goals for the American people? Your write-up doesn't substantiate the headline. I can give you two to start with Brett Giroir & Peter Navarro. But you may have to admit that Trump's petty vindictiveness has alienated good people, and potentially scared many to take over responsibility in a future Trump administration. He's left with crappy people like Guiliani, Lindell, Bondi... etc, and that scares the hell out of me. I love Trump and his policies but his people management skills are abysmal.
