UPDATES AS NEWS COMES IN

Curious of everyone’s thoughts on these picks.

 

[Rob Battisti]

I love Tulsi as DNI. I think she will be great in that role.

 

[Croo67]

I'm happy so long as it's the tried and tested appointment of a fat, middle-aged woman who thinks bread is the devil as Secretary for Health.

Gaetz is likely why Trump wants to do recess appointments. He may not have 50 votes. Definitely shouldn’t.

He doesn't want anyone pointing out corruption and how unqualified his picks are. This is super fascinating honestly.

The Gaetz one stands out like a sore thumb

 

[Rob Battisti]

I’d brick if Kennedy gets to be head of the FDA

Only the best people.

 

[Rob Battisti]

Only the best people.

I like Ratcliff, Gabbard, Hegseth, Homan and Waltz so it’s not all bad.

 

[SRN]

Not a fan of Gaetz for AG. I wouldn’t go with Hegseth, I think someone with more experience would be a better choice. I’d much rather see Tulsi as Secretary of State and Richard Grenell as DNI.

 

[heloder]

The picks are obviously atrocious, as expected.

The more interesting question is:

How long before the MAGA here pivot from "Trump will make America great again!" to "Well of course he's going to tear the country down and leave it a smoldering mess. That's what we elected him for!"?

I'm going to guess...February 2026, which is a conservative guess.

*grabs popcorn*

I think what Hegseth wants is correct and his vision is correct — his experience isn’t.

At this point, fuck it, press conferences can be like the UFC pep rallies.

Anyone who is a fucking goof better be worried

 

[Barteh]

At this point, fuck it, press conferences can be like the UFC pep rallies.

Im only on board with this if the fat guy who always gets to ask questions first during UFC pressers gets the same privilege for white house pressers.

The question is, is that better than the Aileen Cannon appointment I thought we’d see, or worse?

Godspeed to you if you plan to keep this thread going for the long haul. Last time around, Trump’s A Team had a 40% turnover rate.

Trump's saving her for a cozy lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court.

Lmao probably true. That’s exactly where Trump would put a judge who wasn’t familiar with famous Supreme Court cases and their rulings.
