Trump hasn't failed to fill those positions. His people have said that he intends for the positions to remain vacant. He believes them to be unnecessary.There, I was nice about him. Now, the truth is u2022 he wants only toadies in his administration. Or people who bought their position. And those positions aren't important enough to be useful to him, in his opinion. Plus by leaving them vacant he is telling his base that he intends to keep his campaign promise to downsize the Federal government.But the truth is u2022 the positions aren't vacant. They're currently occupied by Obama, Bush, and even Clinton appointees. There may even be some from yet earlier administrations.
