Those are the only good picks he has made so far. Which is probably why the swamp hates it.
There have definitely been some disappointing - and outright insulting - picks, but I'd say more than just these two are good. Homan seems good, potentially great, and Stephen Miller will likely be good too, and Zeldin could be good if he stays in his lane.
And of course Elon and Vivek will be interesting.
But yeah, overall pretty lackluster, and invokes some serious head scratching.
I'm hoping that he can put RFK Jr. somewhere that allows him to fuck up the vaxtards' shit.
Even though Tulsi was already picked making RFK Jr. the director of the CIA so he can dig up some old files about what happened to his family would be funny as hell.
Unfortunately, he's already chosen someone else for CIA director.
Probably will be repeat of 2016 to 2020... sadly.
I don't really think they are all that bad. Frankly, he has a lot better team, and a stronger MAGA team than he had in his first term.
I will say that we should all be clear that he is more than willing to fire people who don't pull their weight.
I mean...that's a pretty damn low bar but, yeah, I agree.
And yeah, it's great that Trump is willing to fire people. Let's see if he will fire the right people, for the right reasons.
I thought the Pete Hegseth pick was fantastic.
The new border czar (Homan?) is pretty promising as well.
His testimony to AOC and the rest of the idiots in the House was epic. I am 100% on board with him as border czar.
We know.
Trump is making his appointments Too Big to Rig.
There are so many that the deeps are dead set against it's spreading their forces too thin. As a practical matter the deeps will have to accept some of them just to keep the government from collapsing.
In retrospect, I'd have loved for him to offer Marco Rubio if they would confirm the other ones. Otherwise, put someone they hate on SOS.
Finally, a good sign.
He got a tiny frum.
Yes he is, if you were wondering.
