Why did Trump hire people like Page, Papadopoulis, Gates/Manafort, etc.? Was it a result of poor vetting or was someone pushing these hires? If so, who?

I have written a bit about this in my books, basically yes it was always someone close to him pushing these people on him by convincing him they will do anything, don't have scruples, worship him, and agree with every position or policy he endorses

He is looking for cult members and he finds them pretty easily because he is also willing to accept people who are not true believers but just sycophants who never drop the act

Excellent answer. ThatтАЩs what I always thought but could never put into words like you.

Thanks. I realize Trump had a decade-long relationship w/ Manafort. I'll have to take another look at your books to glean more specific information. Interesting to note, I got John Solomon to admit (in The Hill comment board) Trump never should have hired Page, for whatever **that's** worth.
