Trust is indeed the coin of the realm, in all human relationships, personal and professional, inside and outside of government, in connection with the domestic policy-making process and in our foreign relations, which is the context in which Secretary of State George Schultz made that seminal observation. (Repeatedly). And yet, if one were seeking the one missing ingredient across all these contexts under the current regime and president, it would have to be that very stuff. Yes, trust, which is not only sadly lacking but achingly absent. It’s no mystery why either.
In a rational world this might happen. Regrettably, since Trump isn't rational by any stretch of the imagination; doesn't agree and will never agree with any of this; and will never allow any of this to occur, our country is in deep trouble and will continue to be irreparably damaged as long as he is allowed to rampage through the government, destroying as much as he can.
Our relationship with our allies will be damaged beyond repair for generations. Our economy will never be as strong as it was and our standing in the world will continue to fall. Unless and until Congress grows a spine and sprouts some patriotic b___ls very soon, there will be no bright future for America or the American people.
The only people Trump trusts and will ever trust are sycophants who are slavishly loyal to him and will praise him as befits the godlike leader he perceives himself to be.
I happen to agree with your words. Loyalty is the only trait Mr. Trump values . He will surround himself with "yes men" who will echo every word uttered by his "Truth Social feed. Just my humble opinion.

Have always found wisdom in your writing, but Are you saying Trump should pick someone he trusts???
