Trump's Appointments Have Been Stellar So Far

Don’t try to change the subject. It’s a sign of a weak intellect.

Claiming Jews control everything is as well.

It seems he's learned from his mistakes of garbage appointments in his first term.

After a US presidential election, the president-elect typically begins making key appointments to their administration. These appointments are crucial in shaping the president's cabinet and policy agenda.

The president-elect usually starts by selecting a transition team, which helps to identify and vet potential candidates for various positions. The transition team also coordinates with the outgoing administration to ensure a smooth transfer of power.

Some of the key appointments made by the president-elect include:

1. Cabinet members: The president-elect selects individuals to lead the 15 executive departments, such as the Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, and Attorney General.
2. White House staff: The president-elect chooses key advisors, including the Chief of Staff, Press Secretary, and Communications Director.
3. Agency heads: The president-elect appoints leaders to various federal agencies, such as the Federal Reserve, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the National Security Agency.

There are several laws related to presidential appointments, including:

1. The Appointments Clause (Article II, Section 2 of the US Constitution): This clause gives the president the power to appoint federal officials, subject to Senate confirmation.
2. The Vacancies Act (5 U.S.C. § 3345-3349d): This law governs the process for filling vacancies in federal offices, including those created by the president-elect's appointments.
3. The Ethics in Government Act (5 U.S.C. App. § 101-112): This law requires presidential appointees to disclose their financial interests and comply with ethics rules.
4. The Presidential Transition Act (3 U.S.C. § 102-115): This law provides funding and resources for the presidential transition process, including the appointment of a transition team.

The president-elect's appointments are subject to Senate confirmation, which can be a contentious process. The Senate has the authority to approve or reject the president-elect's nominees, and this process can take several weeks or even months.

Of course, there have been several controversies surrounding presidential appointments in the past. Here are a few examples:

1. Robert Bork's Supreme Court nomination (1987): President Ronald Reagan's nomination of Robert Bork to the Supreme Court was highly contentious, with many Democrats opposing his conservative views. The Senate ultimately rejected Bork's nomination, and the controversy surrounding his nomination led to changes in the way Supreme Court nominees are vetted.

2. Zoe Baird's Attorney General nomination (1993): President Bill Clinton's nomination of Zoe Baird as Attorney General was withdrawn after it was discovered that she had hired undocumented immigrants as a nanny and had not paid Social Security taxes on their behalf.

3. John Tower's Secretary of Defense nomination (1989): President George H.W. Bush's nomination of John Tower as Secretary of Defense was rejected by the Senate due to concerns about Tower's personal life and allegations of womanizing.

4. Harriet Miers' Supreme Court nomination (2005): President George W. Bush's nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court was widely criticized by conservatives, who felt that she was not conservative enough. Miers ultimately withdrew her nomination.

5. Merrick Garland's Supreme Court nomination (2016): President Barack Obama's nomination of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court was blocked by Senate Republicans, who refused to hold hearings or vote on his nomination.

6. Brett Kavanaugh's Supreme Court nomination (2018): President Donald Trump's nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court was highly contentious, with many Democrats opposing his conservative views and allegations of sexual misconduct.

These are just a few examples of the many controversies that have surrounded presidential appointments over the years.

Have you changed your opinion yet?

New boss same as the old boss.

For his Chief of Staff, Trump picked Susie Wiles, daughter of famed NFL play by play man Pat Summerall. Wiles was his presidential campaign’s co-manager. More significantly, she was a Big Pharma lobbyist whose clients profited from the COVID psyop, including Gilead, developer of the deadly Remdesivir. She once worked closely with GAVI, Bill Gates’ global vaccine outfit. She has been associated with all the right RINOs like Mitt Romney. Jeb Bush called it “a great choice,” so you know Trumpenstein is once again thumbing his nose at his loyal supporters. Trump calls her the “Ice Baby” for her ruthless style. And she’s the first female White House Chief of Staff, so the Giant Orange Man can claim some “Woke” points. That’s why people voted for him, isn’t it?

One wonders what RFK, Jr. thinks of this choice. After all, they are besties now, aren’t they? Talk about a slap in the face. At the same time, stories started appearing in the mainstream media, from anonymous sources in the Trump transition team, that they were “concerned” that Kennedy couldn’t pass a security background test. What with all that talk about Fauci and the government killing his uncle and father. It certainly looks like they’re prepared to freeze him out of the administration. Certainly no cabinet position, as Trump transition team staff lead Howard Lutnick has already said. Trump may throw him a small carrot, and give him some largely ceremonial role behind the scenes. He will have no power or influence. In my view, RFK, Jr.’s ten percent or so support probably was responsible for Trump’s larger than expected margin of victory. And if he complains, Trumpenstein will just throw him under the bus. He has a long history of doing that to former allies.

What about Tulsi Gabbard? Secretary of State? Secretary of Defense? I suspect that she, too, will not be given a position of importance in Trump’s White House. What must she think of Trumpenstein’s worst pick thus far, Florida Rep. Mike Waltz? Waltz is somewhat of a quieter, younger version of John Bolton. He is a diehard warmonger, that has criticized Joe Biden for not being more supportive of Ukraine. So who else could a candidate that has talked so often about ending the Russia-Ukraine war choose to advise him? Tulsi, RFK, Jr., and Vivek Ramaswamy must all be shocked and appalled by this selection. Well, maybe they’re all phony, too. The same anonymous source in Trump’s transition team brought up the bizarre bear in the park story involving RFK, Jr. I can’t begin to understand that, but at least no children were sex trafficked in the process. No horse semen was found in his stomach.

Speaking of horse semen, why didn’t Trump just drop all pretenses and name Tim Walz as his National Security Advisor? That wouldn’t make much less sense that naming Mike Waltz. Knowing Trumpenstein’s astounding lack of literacy, perhaps he meant to actually name Walz, as a gesture of conciliation, and simply mixed up the names. There’s only a one letter difference, after all. Maybe Trump wasn’t really joking when he suggested the RNC pay off Kamala Harris’s campaign debt, in a show of unity. It does sound like something Trumpenstein would do. I joked during his first administration that it was a wonder he didn’t name Hillary Clinton to his cabinet. Maybe he’ll do it this time. I hear she’s looking for work. While Trump criticized the Democrats for touting Dick Cheney’s support of Harris, Mike Waltz was a “counter- terrorism” adviser under then vice president Cheney.

She's perfect for DHS.

But seriously, what on her resume suggests she can handle the job?

I like Zelden but head of EPA

I thought we were going to eliminate epa?

sigh

I hope Zelden abolishes EPA and then asks Trump for something else.. to abolish

It it because she's closer to conservatism and actual statesmanship as you're going to get, compared to all of orange man's other picks combined?

You’ll soon eat those words.

If dumb Don were serious about draining the swamp….this
Well, I certainly wouldn’t pick Marco Rubio for dog catcher, let alone the crucial post of Secretary of State. Why not RFK, Jr. for Attorney General? Like his father? Tulsi Gabbard as Secretary of Defense. Rand Paul or Vivek Ramaswamy as Secretary of State. If Ron Paul is up to it, have him oversee the auditing and eventual abolition of the Federal Reserve. Thomas Massie would be great anywhere. Matt Gaetz or Chip Roy would be better than all of Trumpenstein’s choices. Where is Donald Trump, Jr.? Why isn’t he advising his father, instead of odious son-in-law Jared Kushner again? Trump, Jr. trotted out the idea of Alex Jones for Press Secretary. Just imagine either Alex or Marjorie Taylor Greene in that position. Talk about entertainment!

Didn't you say in a thread sometime back that "Trumpism"/MAGA has to die, or else the Republican Party won't survive?

If so, would you say that these appointments fit with Trumpism/MAGA? And if not, is that why you approve of them? Thanks.
