Why did Trump appoint so many incompetent underqualified sycophants to government positions? (lemmy.world)

Trump has filled his administration with sycophantic loyalists instead of highly competent and experienced people. Anyone else worried about this? Why did Republicans in congress confirm them?

He would never appoint anyone who wasn't a sycophant, and a qualified person would never be a Trump-sycophant. He also likes to feel like the smartest person in the room, which means that there really have to be some incredibly stupid people in that room.
