The other issue with Trump’s plan to stuff the government with loyalists

One of the main criticisms of Trump's plan to fill government positions with loyalists is that it undermines the basis of democracy which is grounded on the checks and balances. Instead of appointing individuals due to their qualifications, experience and merit, appointments are made based on loyalty to the president. This can result in a lack of diversity in perspective and reduced objectivity, which can potentially lead to one-sided and biased policy-making. Moreover, it can create a culture of fear and silence among other officials as any opposition or criticism may lead to their dismissal and replacement. This can also hinder creativity, innovation and wholesome discussions within the government. Additionally, with favouritism playing a role in appointments, it may overlook many competent individuals who may be better suited for the role. Finally, this could potentially lead to corruption, as those appointed due to their loyalty may be less likely to challenge or question decisions made by the president, even if those decisions may not be in the best interest of the public. It's worth noting that concerns about an executive appointing loyalists aren't unique to any one president, but rather a democratic accountability matter that tends to attract concern across different administrations.
