He never truly expected to win, and so he was unprepared. Trump valued loyalty above all else, and so he instinctively chose General Michael Flynn as his first knight.#2 Chris Christie, the governor of New Jersey, was flabbergasted when Trump told him he was going to appoint Flynn as national security adviser. You can’t do that, Christie told Trump. First, you have to have a chief of staff in place and let your chief of staff have input on that because the security adviser will be reporting to the chief of staff.#3 On November 10, Trump was in Washington visiting Obama at the White House. Obama warned Trump against hiring Flynn, as he found his judgment dubious and his motives untrustworthy. Trump personally liked Flynn, though.#4 Trump staffing the White House like a casting call, seeking the look, or the right person for the job. He chose Pompeo, a war veteran and Harvard Law graduate, for the CIA director position based on a single interview.
