@WhitestTemplar indeed. But that's also the problem, once you make a bureaucracy with not the right people, if you start to fix it, you will be fighting "your own" people.

So the question then is: why is he saying this? and who is he saying this for?

I wonder what percentage of people who voted for him think he had the wrong people? When you talk to highly politically engaged RW people *they* think that, but that's probably a tiny amount.

So between "he's saying it - TO FOOL YOU!" and "he's saying this to someone else who matters more", I tend to lean to the latter. So the question is who?
