Ehusman: I’m not sure why people don’t understand this, including people who are concerned about executive authority. Maybe you don’t like the guy personally, but what is the quality of his advisers and selections? Trump’s first term was an illustration of Hayek’s “why the worst get on top”

Some reduce the 2024 campaign to a contest between two old men, but it's a choice of two slates of federal appointees who'll impact your life in a million ways. Biden has staffed executive agencies with excellent choices who are doing good work. Trump will empower an army of Stephen Millers.

Under current law, you really couldn’t do much better than Biden’s FTC and NRLB. New Deal shit.

I’m not sure why people don’t understand this, including people who are concerned about executive authority. Maybe you don’t like the guy personally, but what is the quality of his advisers and selections? Trump’s first term was an illustration of Hayek’s “why the worst get on top”

Yes a hundred times. It’s about the administration not having a team mascot you love having on your t shirt.
