US Election & Presidency

I think the danger with these guys is that they approach the problem through an ideological lens that “more government” is expensive, inefficient, unnecessary and bad. So they could liberally swing the axe, laying people off and shutting down departments without any real comprehension or curiosity about what they actually do.

In his book, The Fifth Risk, Michael Lewis famously used the example of the Department of Energy. In his first term, Trump’s appointees targeted this department for promoting renewable energy, restricting fossil fuels and fracking, and for generally being “woke” climate conscious snowflakes. They had to be reined back from wreaking havoc on the department which is ALSO responsible for managing the country’s nuclear stockpile!

Who knows what will happen this time to the departments of Energy, Health, Education and Trade when these so-called “efficiency” czars get their grubby paws on them.

Did he ever attempt to buy the WWE (or WWWF as it was) at all?

Trump season 2 is shaping up to be a bloody good show.

Matt Gaetz has been nominated for Attorney General, Trump will have a puppet as the country's top cop, Pinocchio will get to play Joseph McCarthy.

Former progressive Democrat and Putin & Assad apologist Tusli Gabbard is to be Director of National Security

Mike Huckabee who thinks Israel should annex the West Bank to Israel ambassador

The Trump Administration is off to a strong start in its quest to be an absolute clown show. Today Trump has nominated Matt Gaetz to be Attorney General (Let's just ignore his multiple drink driving convictions and his alleged across state border sex trafficking claims)

Next nomination. Scott Ritter - Ambassador to Russia.

OK I jest. Maybe.

Tulsi Gabbard nominated to be Director of National Intelligence. She’s long been viewed as a Russian apologist. Guess the “4 eyes” intelligence sharing links with the US are going to be severely tested

What Next?
Krusty the Clown as Education Secretary? (or has he already tried that one?)

Any Convictions for Putin to be aware of?

What next

He pardons Diddy and makes him White house party Planner
