Trump has announced Susie Wiles as Chief of Staff.
She is ruthless and effective. I am very glad with this pick. She will be great.
Trump has announced Elise Stefanik as UN ambassador.
This is an alright pick. She is a RINO who is good at public speaking and the role is kinda meaningless so whatever.
Trump has picked Marco Rubio as Secretary of State. This is a good pick imo. Rubio is a China hawk and is very well spoken. He has establishment tendencies but he is shifting more populist these days.
Trump has picked Tom Homan as the next border czar. He has a history of being very strong on the border and has worked at the Border patrol for decades. I love this pick.
Trump has picked Mike Waltz as National Security advisor. This is kinda meh. He has some neo-con tendencies.
Trump has picked Lee Zeldin for head of EPA. This is a good pick. Zeldin is great on policy and he deserves something good for winning us the House in 2022.
Trump has picked Stephen Miller for deputy chief of staff for policy. This is my favorite pick. Miller is the strongest immigration restrictionist in our movement. I feel whitepilled by this.
I saved the worst pick for last.
Scott Bessent for Treasury Secretary. Bessent literally worked for Soros Fund Management in the 90s. I really don't like this pick. I don't trust this guy.
Overall I am pretty pleased with the Cabinet so far. Only the Treasury Secretary seems like an actual bad pick to me.
Some of these are still rumored, I think.
Homan seems great, Zeldin and Miller are good as well. Not super familiar with the rest.
I know some people have come around on Rubio, but I still don't like or trust him. He's better than he was, it seems, but he's still Marco Rubio.
I've seen some speculation that the Rubio appointment is a double bluff. Get him out of the Senate so DeSantis can appoint a replacement, then fire him from State in a year or so.
I really hope that happens.
Either way, it would be one less neocon in the Senate.
He's far more dangerous in Trump's cabinet than in the Senate.
Not really. In the cabinet, he can be fired the instant he steps out of line. In the Senate, we are stuck with him for six years at a time, and at the mercy of the Florida voters on whether he gets fired.
