Terecht natuurlijk. Hadden ze al veel eerder moeten doen. Heeft zich misdragen in het WH (duh!) en is een notoire zuipschuit.quote:Op vrijdag 8 maart 2024 14:24 schreef Tijger_m het volgende:

Daar zie je dus aan hoe zelden het is dat hoge officieren alsnog een demotie krijgen na hun pensioen.quote:

In 2018, Trump appointed Chubb’s CEO Evan Greenberg to a White House advisory committee for trade policy and negotiations.

Interessant artikel over de manier van beslissingen maken van Biden.
quote:That one last phone call Joe Biden always needs to make
When he has to decide a high-stakes issue, the president hears out his top aides — then picks up the phone and calls a politician
(..)
“Before I make a final decision here, I want to get a read from the Hill,” he told his aides.
White House staffers got Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.), a friend of Biden’s and graduate of Yale Divinity School, on the phone. “Chris, it’s Joe,” the president said. “I need you to put your divinity school hat on for a minute and just tell me — do you think this is the right thing? Should we go ahead?”
After being briefed on the plan by Finer, Coons said, “As I understand it, Mr. President, I would proceed.”
Six days later, Biden announced the deal.
That moment, as detailed by two people familiar with the meeting who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a private conversation, illustrates a crucial truth at the heart of Biden’s decision-making: There is no one he trusts like a fellow politician. Biden’s staffers have immense experience and expertise, but when he is faced with a complex or volatile decision, Biden is unwilling to take the final leap until he has talked to someone who intimately knows, and is accountable to, the American voter.
And so, Biden will often interject during policy conversations with a simple question, “What about the political support for this?”
(..)
Faced with a decision, Biden first presses his staffers for information at a granular level, probing for specific costs and timelines — seemingly driven, associates say, by a suspicion that aides are hiding something from him, or not giving him all of his options. Biden, aides say, often behaves like the senator he once was, wading into small matters they fear are not worth his time.
(..)
When nonpolitical aides offer political advice, in contrast, Biden is quick to remind them, “Hold on, you’ve never run for office.” Then he will often turn to someone who has or pick up the phone to find someone — Democrat or Republican, incumbent or retired, urban or rural.
(..)
After serving in Washington for nearly five decades, Biden has repeatedly seen presidents embrace an idea crafted meticulously by some of the smartest experts in the country, only to see it blow up when it meets political reality.
(..)
Politicians have a unique feel for how ordinary Americans will react to big events, Hagel said. “If you’ve run for office before, you have that sense,” he said. “You wouldn’t have been elected and reelected if you didn’t try to understand what the people are thinking, what do the people want, what are the people’s attitudes.”
Some of Biden’s critics say the president goes too far in relying on longtime politicians, especially because the ones he tends to consult are, like him, older White men who have spent years in the Senate and are likely to reinforce his worldview. Liberal activists in particular complain that Biden is so focused on what seems politically possible that he fails to take the bold steps they say are necessary to confront urgent crises such as racial inequity and climate change.
(..)
As a manager, Biden has earned fierce loyalty from his aides, and most of his closest advisers have worked for him for decades. That loyalty often extends both ways, with the president averse to firing staffers, even when he threatens to do so or allies think he should. But that does not mean he trusts them fully when it comes to making decisions.
