Trump thinks everyone in government is as stupid and evil as himself...
...and given the people he hires he may soon be right...
After all, he hires the 'best' people.
He has said similar things in the past, and Rob still supports him, even if Trump was caught on tape saying it, Rob would shrug and say its a sign of strength...
The White House denies it, of course, but given the official lies they have been caught in over and over, they have less than zero credibility...
