that is the real question to my mind... if the guys being charged are political hacks, that's means they were put on to him by the powers that be... or did trump show up with a gang of thugs?
do you know which?

Amazing question.
Trump has two people on board with him - his friends and family who have no political experience what so ever, and then people with political experience who aren't trusted by Trump, and do not get along with his friends and family. These two groups do not get along well, and he tends to favor his friends and family. I'm sorry, but Jared Kushner has no business being in the White House.
In the case of Manafort, he had been friends with Trump a long time. Others, like Papadopoulos, were "hand me downs" - Papadopoulos came from the Ben Carson campaign (if I understand correctly).
Some of his choices are fucking bizarre. Betsy Devos has ZERO experience in education. She had never ONCE stepped foot into a public school her ENTIRE LIFE - She went to private school as a child, her children went to private school, and her entire family has made a fortune in private schools. Ben Carson for HUD? That's a cruel joke, right? Perfectly qualified to be Surgeon General, but HUD? The argument Trump gave was that Carson grew up in pubic housing so he was qualified, but by this measure that means you and I are qualified based on the fact that our parents owned houses. The only one that seems to be doing well and understands her job is Nikki Haley.
My favorite though is Rex Tillerson for Secretary Of State. Zero qualifications for one of the most important positions in the country. Then add in Kushner who will magically just solve all of the problems in the Middle East, and it's easy to understand why nothing has been accomplished in ten months and his approval rating continues to sink lower, being the least popular president EVER.
