Tillis Criticizes Trump's Advisors, Not Trump

U.S. Senator Tom Tillis appeared on ABC News this past Sunday and made it clear he has

no issue with President Trump himself.

Instead, he pointed the finger at the advice Trump gets from his team, especially when

it comes to cabinet picks like Kristi Nome.

Tillis explained that Trump relies on suggestions from others for nominations, and he does not

expect the President to know every detail about.

He specifically called out Nome's limited experience as a former governor and short time in the

House, saying it did not prepare her for such a big role.

Many see this as a calculated move by Tillis to bash the administration without targeting

Trump directly.

It might shield him from backlash, but critics argue it is not convincing anyone, including

the President.

Tillis compared Trump to a company CEO who needs solid advisors since no one can master

everything.

Still, he voted to confirm Nome raising questions about his own checks on these choices.

In the end, if Trump claims credit for wins, he must own the losses too, and dodging that

accountability just muddies the waters for everyone, involved.
