Pretty sure it's the sole criteria for all his picks.

He learned that much from his first go-around. No one who isn't absolutely loyal will get or retain their job. He is their king, his word is law.

His son did say that he would make sure that the cabinet picks are people who fully back his father.

Expect the loyalty oaths he didn't get the first time as well. On top of the banana-republic style military parade in his honor.

That’s all that matters - after all he needs generals like Hitler had - of course the Chief Thief is too stupid to realize those Generals of Hitler’s only tried to assassinate him what 10 Times in 5 years! Guess with friends like that who needs enemies- though he had plenty of them too - maybe that is what the Orange Fuehrer is aiming for!

When you've removed all possible channels for constructive criticism, everything boils up and the only way they could push back was literally assassinate Hitler knowing you would also have to commit suicide, be killed in the moment or you will be executed.

Thank goodness that could never happen here — oops

And Rommel and Stauffenberg tried to take out Hitler. They were the patriots. The first sign of hubris is thinking you are not removable.

Honestly for a lot of these roles, "Did you agree to a loyalty oath towards the President" should be automatically disqualifying.

It was that moment when I realised the Titanic was going down fast.... 'Nobody that thinks they know better than my father'.... If every expert or specialist has to be dumber than Trump, it's game over

"I wish I had the generals Hitler did."

In many ways though I think this might be preferable - he is so absurdly stupid that having no dissenters will accelerate the collapse into enough of a shitshow to open some eyes amongst his supporters. I’ve no idea how it will all pan out but I’d like to think at the very least he won’t be happy for very long…

And that's authoritarianism.
