In this context the main problem with Trump is that he is, for all practical POLITICAL purposes, a D.C. outsider. As such, when going to pick advisers, people to fill the plethora of cabinet, administrative, other leadership and secretary of this and that roles, he had no choice but to rely on advice of those he believed trustworthy. There is NEVER much time to get a government built after an election unless you are a D.C. insider. Although he likely had final say on both Mnuchin and Calabria it would have been difficult at the time to predict the future of their actions - you have to start somewhere. Mnuchin played a tricky game until the end and Calabria is just a plain no real experience government policy wonk who knew he was going to and needed to stay D.C. connected long after Trump was gone - even if he did get second term.
A further problem is with the Republican party: the number of RINOs, those who seek to enrich themselves, and many other flavors and shades of globalists, neocons, etc. They are not nearly as united as the Democrat party - especially when it comes to backing a leader making decision. The Democrats are all in line with the globalist order with a playbook that almost none of them deviate from whereas Republicans are all over the place.
The hope we have with a Trump admin is that he is aware of the situation, has previous progress in attempting to put a plan together, has allies who want some kind of "release or privatization," there is at least a facade of capital being built organically by the company which offsets some of the wrong-headed narrative about the twins, time will run out on the warrants if not extended (which I think will be difficult to pull-off with a Trump admin in place), and finally, Trump now knows where some of the land mines are buried and, more importantly, who many of the rat bastards are.
This guarantees us NOTHING, but given what we've seen over the past decade-and-a-half a Trump admin is the best we have to hope for at this point.
