First, Washington surrounded himself with men who had experience and expertise that was different than his own. He understood that he couldn’t possibly have all the answers and sought out advisors who might offer creative solutions beyond his own thinking.
Ha! Can you imagine this as of today? It's clear that the next president (Trump) values loyality above all else. During his first term there were still lots of proverbial adults in the room to keep his worst impulses in check. I suspect it's going to be very different this time: less dissenting voices but more backroom brokers who know how to string along Trump just enough to push through their policies, grab power or enrich themselves.
I love this. A strong cabinet adds checks and balances. Without a strong cabinet, unethical or illegal actions can go unchecked, which can lead to authoritarianism, corruption, cronyism/...

The "deep state" wasn't just federal lifers, it was Trumps own appointees refusing to act in ways they thought ethically wrong or downright illegal.
A qualified cabinet also allows complex issues and critical crises to be managed more effectively.
The CEO's seem unworried by threats of tariffs, which is hard to comprehend, as Trump is surrounding himself with a bunch of like minded yes-men.
Everyone knows it would be economic idiocy to get in a tariff war with China & the EU, but without a strong cabinet to consistently remind Trump of this, will that be enough?
