President-elect Trump's Cabinet picks

So...for all of you who voted for former President Trump on the issues of the economy and immigration...did you count on all of the "loyalists" to be rewarded with being nominated for cabinet posts? The only nomination I had heard of so far who is at least halfway qualified is Marco Rubio. Pete Hegseth a Fox cohost? Tulsi Gabbard a former never-Trumper? Matt Gaetz??? The only hope is that there will be at least a few Republicans with balls to prevent recess appointments and even bigger balls to say no to people who are not in the least qualified.

I’m sure he has carefully considered them so he doesn’t end up with regrets . He is a smart man

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Reddit ? You must know so much ! LOL You don’t know me but you assume , a shot in the dark , oh well you must know lots about nothing

@anythingoes477 LOL !! You need to go verify your facts instead of just spewing more of Biden's BS. The stock market under Biden under performed the market under Trump 5-10 % , the unemployment rate between the two was less than 1% with Biden slightly above. The trial against Trump was a farce and the result of evidence manipulation and evidence suppression. And the whole fiasco should be thrown out and prosecution and judge brought up on charges.

Except for the new Senate leader, this is the entertainment "the base" wants and this is the reality TV show he is giving them. They don't care about the economy and immigration. This is how they "own the libs" or get that intoxicating feeling that they are.

@MarkPaul oh right, it's hard to keep all the creepiness straight

@MarkPaul I cant help but wonder who Americans will blame for all that is about to happen to them at home at the end of this Presidential term. They dont do "consequences". So it cant be their own fault..😷
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@whowasthatmaskedman All I know with certainty is that "the base" won't blame anyone. No matter how much misery, failure, and ruin they face they will keep a stiff upper lip and claim things have never been better for them... in servitude to Insurrectionist-Cry-Baby-trump, of course.
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
His next step is to organise a group to vet and remove any senior military leaders who might refuse his orders. Thats laid out in Project 2025. That document he doesnt know anything about....😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Hey, I've been watching that movie, "Muriel's Wedding," recently. Made before Australia became a fascist police state. These days, Muriel would've been arrested for not wearing a covid mask instead of stealing a dress. 🤣

LOL. Yes, he’s appointing people outside the swamp. One of the reasons he was elected. I hope they all get appointed.

BTW, look at Biden’s appointees. A nut job who steals luggage! LOL
@carpediem And a man that doesn’t know he’s not a woman. 🙂
carpediem · 61-69, M
@NoGamesTolerated If Hegseth has an issue with confirmation, he simply needs to start wearing lipstick and stealing luggage. Then....even the dems will support him
@carpediem umhmm 🙂

The only concern I have is he is plucking GOP congressman and senators out of the House and Senate for these appointments. The House majority margin is paper-thin, the Senate not much better. We don't want these people replaced with horrid Democrats, causing the GOP to lose its majorities. If Democrats retake the House, they will impeach Trump in Week 1 for not serving enough french fries during his 15-minute McDonalds stint.
@graphite I thought of that too… surely he is taking that into consideration.

I didn't vote, but I like his plan for the country.

I like his plan to charge more on foreign coming in the USA. So the USA will make more products

I also like his plan for term limits on Congress and the Senate

Them are some I like that heard about

@HumanEarth A couple of things here. People who tend to stick around in politics do for one of two reasons. The first being like FDR is they are very very popular. If someone is popular and they are taking things in a direction the country approves of. Why force people to vote for someone else they don't even want?

The second one is party partisanship. Lets be real. In the US many Americans would vote for a literal sock puppet based exclusively whether they have a D or an R beside their name.

Party policy also tends to be largely the same so changing faces is largely irrelevant especially since both parties tend to block anyone who actually looks to change anything in a real way. See Bernie Sanders as an example.

Also corruption is a problem. But that has nothing to do with term limits. It has to do with lobbying and about 50 years of the US effectively legalizing nearly every form of bribery and influence peddling in politics.

Rotating faces will do nothing to change that and never has.

And if you are not happy with higher prices why vote for the guy who basically promised to double prices on everything?

Fun fact, the US imports the ink used to print the USD from China. So if he pulls this tariff war with China the US will even be printing USD at a loss.

There is no scenario where this ends well for anyone not a billionaire.

A cabinet of chancers and lickspittles. Let us hope that there is at least a little pushback.

Tulsi Gabbard, more hilariously, is a front for a cult and a Russian loyalist who has just been mindlessly spouting Kremlin propaganda for the last couple of years. I can't think of a funnier person to put in charge of national intelligence.
wildbill83 · 41-45, M
As for Tulsi, it seems democrats forgot that Trump used to be a democrat as well...

so, quite frankly, it's difficult to give any credibility to party that is it's own worst enemy...

Best comment I've seen so far, more or less: I wouldn't trust that gang to successfully rob a liquor store, much less run a country.

Starting to regret your vote?
MasterLee · 56-60, M
@James25 no. Did you regret bidet or the kamel?
