Trump’s Bad Boys Fixation

“President-elect Trump has unabashedly surrounded himself with men who’ve said, done or been accused of things that would disqualify them under any other U.S. leader in our lifetimes,” Axios reports.

“It begs the question: Why? Why go to the mat to pick and defend people Trump knows will raise questions about his judgment, heart or morality?”

“In almost every case, there are similarly loyal and tested alternatives. Yet he often goes with the bad boys.”

“People who know Trump best tell us the answer lies in his view of humanity and power. Trump, they say, values loyalty, toughness, street smarts and self-protection foremost — and believes most people do bad things to get, hold and use power. Business and sexual transgressions don’t trouble him like they do other presidents.”
