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?

As the saying goes "Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake". Better these idiots than anyone competent who could cause real damage intentionally.

That’s a great way of looking at it. I’m not sure if it was that or simple cowardice, but I like your interpretation.
