Well you need to consider that possibly Trump is kinda smart. Who is he gonna put in his cabinet? A bunch of people who have no idea how Washington works?

So then you have to consider that the people he picked are "defectors" or that he is keeping his enemies close. Giuliana is a good example, he obviously was in on 9/11 either in a big way or he just knew it was gonna happen before it did, ie building #7. It is a bit confusing since Trump is a 9/11 truther. it is possible Trump just blew smoke up our arsses for the last 16 years as well but unlikely.

I have a suspicion he has a strategy he is playing out, what he says and does now is smoke in mirrors, he is holding his cards close, with some misdirection until after he takes office.
