Trump's Cabinet and Other Key Picks

 I'm not going to go through all of his announced selections but just the more interesting ones.

White House chief of staff: Susie Wiles - I suppose he figures that if she could get him elected then she can keep his staff toeing the line and doing nothing but sing little Donnie's praises. Good luck with that lady. Senate confirmation is not required for this role.

Secretary of state: Marco Rubio - Not a bad pick considering he's a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and the top Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee. However, I just wonder if he lacks the flexibility that he might need as top diplomat.

Attorney general: Matt Gaetz - This is a complete joke. Gaetz should be under investigation by the DOJ and not leading it. This is a nominee that the senate should reject. Unfortunately I doubt there are enough Republicans that care enough about the country to make it happen.

HHS secretary: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. - This is another complete joke that should be rejected by the senate. Kennedy has no background in health administration and espouses long debunked conspiracy theories about vaccines. I don't disagree with some of his ideas about processed foods but in general his opinions are loony tunes if not downright dangerous.

U.N. ambassador: Elise Stefanik - I thought that this was a horrible idea until I heard some of the other proposals. I could probably live with this as the UN is rapidly becoming totally ineffective anyway.

"Border czar": Tom Homan - This guy is a former ICE Director and appears to be all for Trump's mass deportation idea. Good luck getting the funding from Congress Tom. I expect the deportation effort to be significantly less than "mass" and quietly peter out within a year and a half. Senate confirmation is not required for this role.

Defense secretary: Pete Hegseth - Another selection who's qualifications appear to be highly suspect but I don't know enough about the guy to take a strong position either way. What I've been hearing isn't terribly encouraging though.

Secretary of Homeland Security: Kristi Noem - She's the current governor of South Dakota and Trump claims that she's "very strong on border security." That's a pretty good trick considering that South Dakota doesn't have any foreign borders. On the other hand if she can handle being a governor then I'm sure she can manage Homeland Security.

Director of national intelligence: Tulsi Gabbard - This pick may be even worse than the Gaetz and Kennedy picks. Gabbard has zero credentials in intelligence and many of her ideas about how the world works are iffy if not downright delusional. If there is only one nomination that the senate rejects it should be this one.

 U.S. ambassador to Israel: Mike Huckabee - The best part about this pick is that it will get Huckabee out of the country. The Israelis must be laughing themselves silly.

Department of Government Efficiency: Elon Musk & Vivek Ramaswamy - Or DOGE, the same as the crypto currency that Musk pushes. I expect this to be a joke with clown 1 and clown 2 doing a lot of pontificating but accomplishing very little. I'm pretty sure that no senate confirmation is required here.

That's it; I'm tired of playing this game. Trump seems more interested in not having someone disagree with him than actually accomplishing anything. But, you never know. I suppose that we shall see what we shall see.
