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?

A better question is...why did so many Democrats confirm them, as well?

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.
