Trump (47th President) - Cabinet

[pinstripers]

Some of you and your rhetoric are just so stupid.

You know why there is an FBI in Wichita for two reasons: public corruption and Human Trafficking, not to persecute Trump acolytes.

I just thought it was a lovely quote

I've heard him talk on food and while I might not completely support everything, a lot of what he says and his overall goal there is honorable.

I don't think we need to be as strict as some of Europe, but being a little more cautious with some things is definitely a plus.

If anyone is interested in the FDA part of this subject, Dr. Marty Makary, an expert and critic on our food and drug corruption of our government health organizations was on Fox News Sunday today and he presented a balanced POV on Bobby Kennedy, and the cleanup of corruption that we need in Washington in this area. There are MD’s who are not impressed with the direction of our health organizations.

Yikes.

Maybe I was wrong about Gaetz? I thought he was just another bought and paid for asshole, but maybe he's actually an anti-asshole and doesn't care which party the asshole belongs to?

[Kung Wu]

His willingness to call out swamp creatures makes me think the accusations against him are phoney trumped up b.s. just trying to stop him.

Twitter is so full of bots and troll farm accounts, that makes me wonder if Musk is leaving them on there intentionally to raise user numbers, sell advertising and blue check marks, and as a result, raise the value at which time he will sell.

I hope I’m wrong but he is the richest man in the world for a reason.

It is irresponsible to keep a platform where 60% of accounts aren’t real people.

Maybe people will quit using social media because of all the AI and robots, then have to start using churches, bars and local events in order to communicate with real people. They may even have to talk to their neighbors. Yikes, it could all be tragic.

Great call. I don't want warhawks or neocons in this administration.

What makes him either? What is your definition of both?

[ABC]

My quick take on appointments so far is 75/80% good.

Gaetz is awful. Being an asshole to everyone isn't a qualification.
Tulsi Gabbard is awful.
RFK is awful.

Those three picks make me think that Trump is trolling us.

Hegseth is the least bad. The biggest issue is lack of experience with such a bureaucracy.
I don't know about Noem. She is squirrely and though a Governor; she doesn't have any law enforcement experience.


All of the agencies need fundamental change. Are those four able to implement fundamental change? I do not think so. And all for a variety of different reasons.

Though for the left going apoplectic on a few of these appointments, Obama considered RFK for a cabinet position, and clearly Buttigieg (and others) did not have any experience running a big bureaucracy and it shows.

[Kung Wu]

Lots of people like Tulsi. I don't know anything about her. Why don't you like her?

Absolutely no experience in a very technical field. She has been very loyal to Trump so there should be a spot for her. She seems a bit conspiratorial on things too.

I laugh at all the MSM academia types voicing their negative opinions on these appointments when they and so many others know so little about them. Where were they when Biden/Obama made their pitiful and I mean PITIFUL appointments??

It is certainly possible that both administrations have made awful picks. And there is quite a bit of info out there about the four picks that I don't like.

We all know that effective CEOs will fire-and-rehire fast when things aren't working out or going as fast as they should. We saw Trump do this very effectively in his first term. We know Biden didn't do squat. To me, the risk of a bad pick becoming a sustained problem under Trump is very minimal.
