Others, like Manafort, pretty clearly were already criminals before Trump came around, and they inserted themselves into Trump's orbit to get favors.

None of it really proves that Trump did anything illegal, but the large number of examples proves that Trump is a very poor manager of people, and a very poor judge of character.

Add to that the mile-long list of people Trump hired for top positions, what he said about them when he hired them, and what he said about them when they left, which was the complete opposite of what he said about them when he hired them, and that just reinforces the fact that he is incompetent.  Because according to him, he hired a steady string of stupid and incompetent people.

Sure, but that's Trump's narcissism (not excusing it). He's going to do that with anyone. I think Trump should be accountable for his bad hires. That said, p_rushing has a valid point. Who do you hire? How do you show judicious discrimination in a world were narcissism and Machiavellianism and sociopathy are primary attributes? I don't think I could do it, especially not round 1. I would have to find out the hard way.
