https://www.alternet.org/news-amp-politics/people-are-not-people-him-new-report-suggests-trump-doesnt-care-about-people-he?src=newsletter1091556Dr. Ronny Jackson withdrew himself from consideration for being appointed Secretary of Veterans Affairs Thursday as scrutiny of his past revealed dark allegations and the criticism began to mount. But this is a common pattern for people who get close to President Donald Trump, note New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and Peter Baker.
Many have noted that the Jackson nomination revealed White House's completely absent vetting procedures. Normally, a Cabinet nominee would face exhaustive scrutiny by a White House perform his or her name was put forward. Trump's choice of Jackson, though, seemed to be made entirely on the basis that the president liked him personally for his service as Whtie House physician.
Trump's disregard for these normal procedures not only hurts his administration; it can hurt the people he mistakenly tries to elevate.
Some who get close to the president find their reputations or even their lives destroyed. And according to people who know the president well, he just doesn't care that much.
People are not people to him, they are instruments of his ego," Tony Schwartz, the ghostwriter for Trump's The Art of the Deal told the Times. "And when they serve his ego, they survive, and when they dont, they pass into the night.
He added: Ultimately, the fate of anyone who casts their lot with Trump is you are passing through. And I just cant think of anybody for whom it is not true.
OK
So this is obviously true.
but the only thing that is "new" about this is that a few more idiototic sycophants are being caught up in the pattern of Trump destruction which has been so obvious to anybody who has even had to watch this Trumpster fire
SAD!

He only uses people; he only breaks things, and only his money has prevented his being called on his behavior.
