Trump has a lifetime of being that person who brags about being able to commit sexual assault. Even with having everyone who works for him signing non-disclosure there are plenty of stories. That one was just on tape and therefore harder for you to ignore. Your comment about yes men is laughable considering that's exactly what Trump is doing.
The people Trump is appointing, such as defense secretary Mattis, and former head of Exxon Tillerson his secretary of state, or Sen Jeff Sessions his attorney general, are absolutely NOT your typical political appointees or yes-men. These are people who speak their mind, are respected thinkers, who are not afraid to speak their mind to Trump or anyone else, and would not kiss ass just to avoid being fired. I don't know who you're trying to fool by trying to float that one.
As opposed to Obama's inner circle, that was very insular, and where he DID fire people for not being ideologically on board. To the point that those still on staff would NOT challenge him anymore.
