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.
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.
Pompeo, Bolton, etc. were undermining Trump's policies from within before they got fired, with leaks, with hiding information and with not carrying out Trump's orders. Firing someone causes disruption, especially if it's Senate-confirmed. They can get away with a lot.
These pukes can sabotage Trump II just like they made Trump I more neoconny than Obama.
The only good reason I can think for this, is that you need people who can get things done in these positions. You can't put Mike Lindell as SOS, even if he could get confirmed. But you have to be able to make sure that they follow Trump and not the globalists - and Trump, I think, does not have the discipline, focus and micromanagement to assure that.
Yes. But they were fired, which left them unable to undermine him further. Anyone in the 2/3 of the Senate that isn't up on the next mid term can undermine him for his entire term with no recourse. The other 1/3 can undermine him for half of it.
Trump can't even confirm his picks or pass any laws without the Senate. As we saw in the past, he can still get some things done even with shitty cabinet members. So again, we are better off having him in the cabinet where he can be fired, than having him in the Senate where he can torpedo any bill he wants to by attaching a neocon poison pill to it.
So it's worth taking in someone to undermine him just that the Senate will... possibly... go from 2/3 undermining him to 2/3-1 undermining him?
Like what, sending weapons to Ukraine, which even Obama refused to do after coup'ing the government there?
I'm exaggerating, but there are real costs to this sort of thing.
If it was 51 neocon psychos and 49 normal people, or even remotely close, I'd agree with you.
Good thing I don't give a fuck if European faggots agree with me then. Fix your own shit before you preach at us about ours.
