Opinion: When you work for Trump, your highest loyalty is to him

President Trump outside the White House on Friday. By Paul Waldman Paul Waldman Opinion writer covering politics Email Bio Follow Opinion writer April 5 at 3:31 PM In a move that is both ridiculous and perfectly true to form, President Trump announced that he will nominate Herman Cain to the Federal Reserve’s board of governors, just days after saying another seat on the board would be filled by pretend economist Stephen Moore.

A more distinctly ideological president might seek out appointees whose devotion to his party’s beliefs is strong enough that they would be willing to overlook empirical reality or the broader interests of the country to serve ideological and partisan ends. This is a man who said, “The other day I was on a panel with media reporters and I suggested in all seriousness that Donald Trump deserves the 2018 Nobel Prize in Economics." He also co-wrote a fawning book called “Trumponomics: Inside the America First Plan to Revive Our Economy." And he even testified that Trump is “in incredible, great shape.”

The most obvious example right now is Attorney General William P. Barr, who almost certainly was appointed because he wrote a memo making the case that the president could not possibly be guilty of obstruction of justice while carrying out official acts — like firing the FBI director to shut down an investigation into the president’s campaign.

Anyone who works for him has no morals or integrity, I’ll pray their soul will return!

PUT AN ORANGE ON HIS DESK!!!

Loyalty but incompetent

And the democraps rats are different bulls***

🤡

Does this propaganda help Americans? Or is this just spewing content to manipulate and push an agenda. Might as well be a DNC rag.

Well, hopefully his story will turn out the same as that of most despots.

You hear that, realDonaldTrump supporters, your loyalty is to HIM, not your country, not your Constitution, not the rule of law... HIM. That kind of blind loyalty is dangerous beyond words.

So god n nation have to go at the back of the queue right? I’m speechless 😶

Why? who is he? A con in every area of life. Can't even talk. Just makes static. Tape his mouth.

So is that why there are so many whistleblowers?

As it should be. Which got me thinking I wonder how many people that work for the Washington Post are loyal! I think they throw WP under the bus daily. That’s why it’s such a crappy paper.

Seems a persons only loyal is to Trump, not the law, or Constitution, or common decency, or moralty, or rules that have been in place for over 100 years.

That's obvious! He has and will continue to fill the swamp until it overflows!

That is why intelligent people would never work for him

😂😂😂😂NOT 🤪🤪🤪💩

Well he's your president so..

I am in.

& Rep Pres Trump's highest loyalty is to the ppl via Free Mkt & Individual Liberty as the Constitution demands

When you are a government servant, your loyalty must be to the American people. You work for us, not for Trump.

Serving the Queens Dictator, God forbid!😲😳👎

As it should be. Like any business

No my highest loyalty is to GOD! He is our reason for life .

No one in any context should ever use loyalty and realDonaldTrump in the same sentence.

But don't expect loyalty from him! He'll throw you under the bus in a minute.

Loyalty to a failed reality tv show host ... let’s start there then work ones way towards the gutter w every nefarious I’ll act he has committed

And you sell your soul to the Devil

And working for a man of this low standard would be my first issue..I would not...

Yea... that's the politics works. Figure it out

Alex Trebek, 'Barr, you buzzed in first.' What is good leadership?' Sorry no, George Conway.' 'What is treason?' Yes, George, you have the board.'

BESTPresidentEVER

Stalin

Not exactly an earth shattering revelation. It's like the mob, and Trump is the Don. He wants his ring, or whatever, kissed...policy is secondary.

BS

Is in it normal ? When you work for Hilary or Obama or Bush, you’re total loyalty goes to whom do you think?

Your loyalties are with america

How many times are you going to regurgitate this same garbage? It is beyond tiresome.

Every day, American students across this country pledge allegiance to the United States 🇺🇸, not DJT. We all must remember where our true allegiance should be.

That’s because he thinks he’s king!

When you work for Washington Post

As it should be. Or depart.

How awful! Wie schrecklich! ¡Qué horror!

People must never sell their souls to the devil! Judgement Day will prove that loyalty to anyone but the GOOD LORD will send u straight to hell! GOP enjoy yourselves NOW ETERNITYIS FOREVER!!🔥🔥

*This is completely unprecedented in a political figure. **No it's not.

... and even if you do accord him that loyalty, he'll disown you the instant it hits the fan. Hey, what are friends for, other than to take the fall?

OPINION: when you’re elected to serve America you do just that. Just stop the enabling!!!

It is how all dictators are

It should be he’s the boss!

If you work for him that’s fine, but if you work for the government run by him, your highest loyalty should be the , the country and the people 💯💯💯

hello... you work for the American people not the FakePresident

That sounds reasonable for a boss. And he is the boss.

tadrow When you work for Trump, you give up your life as an independent human being .

That’s a given

That's a bad thing? What would the rulers of the Washington post do if their employees highest loyalty wasn't to the post? What would Obama have done to those in his administration who highest loyalties weren't to him?

When you work for Trump you must eat his poop

President Trump is our Fearless Leader. We MUST OBEY!

Makes sense.

When you work for the WaPo, your highest loyalty is to Democratic National Party. You must believe the agenda is more important than the truth.

The loyalty is to the Constitution. trump deserves no loyalty because his loyalty is only to himself. The GOP has become a group of pandering toadies.

When you work for Trump you’re expected to produce results. Trumps problem is not loyalty it’s his work ethic not many including do nothing Congress can’t keep up with him.

💯💯look what Barr did 👀👀👀

'I'm King Bammy's wing man.'- Eric Holder

You mean when you work in the White House yourrl loyalties have to be with the government? What a shocker!

That's why I would never work for Trump. He's not worth the loyalty of dishonoring American Integrity.

Which will be one way since he won’t be loyal to you.

Trump now has HIS appointees in all the right places to protect him against ever having to show his tax returns. Hopefully, the LAW will not allow him to have that protection and will lead to the RIGHT thing being done.

And that's the major issue. Where did loyalty to the office of President and loyalty to the country go?

More left wing propaganda sickening

No loyalty to your country, you have to act like an apostle, but you're not following someone like Christ, you're following the anti christ

Correction: when you work for Trump your highest loyalty had BETTER be to him. Or you won’t have a job very long. And his only loyalty is, no surprise, to himself.

Is Jesus back? OMG I totally missed the second coming.

yeah, no. i imagine i could be loyal to any other president, within legal and ethical parameters of course. this guy, i absolutely dont see it.

Disgusting and pathetic

As it should be. Ya think it was different with Barry’s folks.

That’s why federal government employees have to take an oath to protect the Constitution, not the President. It always seemed trite to the workers who had to sign the oath, but with OrangeHitler keeping that promise could be the only thing that saves this country.

And...

Undeserving of any form of loyalty.

Why the F*** would anyone want to work for this douche bag, knowing his history with those who have worked for him? For power & money, I can understand. But, is there any other reason?

And then he throws u under the bus and calls u names

And that will be the beginning of the problems, their loyalty should have been to the America and the Constitution not the head of the government

you checked you bnk account earlier bi- parts

You would have to be insane to work for him. He is a conman, he will make you his patsy,then fire you without paying you

Completely unamerican. Their loyalty should be to the constitution.

When you work for Trump, you have to put your rationality aside,drop your brain at work& follow the fluid gasses in your bowel.

Rasgo de la dictadura unipersonal, del hombre fuerte que van por encima de la Constitución y exige lealtad a su persona, no a la nación.

Nonsense, more and more republicans should challenge the President, we already fought a revolution of monarchy ruled government !

Twitter should have a dislike button.

No! I don’t work for him and still my highest loyalty is not to Donald Trump as President NotMyPresident FakePresident hoaxpresident politicians work for the American people ImpeachTrump

Trump is patheticall, diabolically depraved

When you work for Trump, prepare to give up your life’s savings in legal fees and your dignity.

So fuck your oath to the constitution. That's why I don't trust none of them. It's party over country to all of them otherwise they wouldn't be there with him.

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Yes! Just look at Trumps CorruptGOP Cabinet 😢🚨👇🏾😡

Yes!

Poor bastards❗️

As opposed to Bernie or Harris? 🤔

Why would anyone work for Trump? Life is too short.

Someone else demanded the same loyalty 1933 MAGA

A lot can change in the next 2 years so quit harping on the problems that are not going to be there in 2020

Should always be loyal and support your boss. Or look for a new job

As in any corporation...or are you guys not really loyal to ?

Loyalty is an essential fundament of conservatism. We believe in our country and our president!

He looks like a pithed fishOrange and slimy nine origin when the
