Personnel is policy!

Ronald Reagan understood that “Personnel is policy.” This simple phrase captures an eternal truth: The right subordinates usually determine a leader’s success or failure.

Few administrations have more clearly validated this adage than that of President Trump. For over three years now, he has gotten an amazing amount done for the country, but it has despite having a large number of insubordinates on his staff. Mr. Trump recently charged a trusted aide, John McEntee, with systematically replacing those “Swamp creatures.”

Such efforts have  been extended to the United Nations, as well. Communist China has managed to put its operatives in charge of an unprecedented four UN agencies. Thank heavens, Trump loyalists led by Trade Czar Peter Navarro have just blocked the world’s worst perpetrator of IP theft from securing control of the World Intellectual Property Organization.
