Chris Christie made an interesting point on #ThisWeek:
"During his first term, T**** was surrounded by experienced professionals who were willing to say 'No' to him." When it was discovered his Nat'l Security Advisor Mike Flynn had lied in his confirmation, he was gone by Feb 18th.

This time, he surrounded himself with "Yes Men".
