Trump is looking to appoint anti-establishment, to make changes to departments. He's picked a lot of people who happen to have scandals (mostly sex scandals, puritan America), and Brooks pointed out that means they are therefore ‘permanent outsiders.’ They're valuable to Trump and to this purpose because they can't really be brought into the fold of ‘respectable politics’ because the established politicians can't politically be friends with them. I've talked about this before, where we could consider it almost a requirement that anyone running for office should have everything bad said about them possible (in the absense of more sensible law or policy), because it means no one can blackmail them.
