The way I see it is like this Trump deals in luxury brands , and his businesses rely on more people reaching higher status in order to grow . Only right now our economy isn ' t producing enough millionaires for him to get the growth he needs as a manager of his brand ' s goodwill the amount of value attached to the brand itself . He has a much bigger incentive to grow the whole economy instead of just his brand value . Now he ' s in a catch 22 . He can hire Washington insiders , but the swamp won ' t drain itself , or he hires outsiders who can ' t be bought , and he takes shit for hiring billionaires . Why don ' t we just all admit that nobody he picks will be good enough . It will be interesting to see what happens if Tulsi Gabbard is offered a position in his administration .
