Loyalty Over All

In March 2018, Donald Trump's personal aide John McEntee was abruptly fired and removed from the White House because he failed to pass a security background check due to undisclosed gambling debts.

Last month, however, Trump waived his security clearance requirement and brought him back, then quickly promoted him to head of administration personnel. McEntee was one of several Trump loyalists brought back to the administration.

McEntee has quickly established the highest priority for working in this administation — loyalty to Trump. He's also undertaken an administration-wide hunt to remove anyone considered disloyal to the President (details here).

So loyalty to the Constitution no longer matters. Same for loyalty to the rule of law. And loyalty to the betterment of America.

It's just about Trump and nothing but Trump.

Shades of a banana republic.
