The Trump Presidency - Chapter 2 - Page 5

As a licensed attorney, the thought of Matt Gaetz as the nation's top attorney is disgusting. What a joke. Of course, with a covicted felon in the WH, what's wrong with a suppressed statutory rape charge for the attorney general?

I assume this means they will attempt to prosecute every single person on Trump's personal vendetta list.

Definitely a new world.

I do wonder how many of his cabinet, top special advisors will last 2 years.

He promised things like repealing Obamacare, building a wall that Mexico paid for, invest $550 billion into US infrastructure, renegotiate the Iran deal, cancel funding for "sanctuary cities" and (of course) deport all people here illegally.

Know how many of those promises he kept? 0, nada - none of those things happened.

Look at his appointments then. Look at these appointments now. He had some pretty creepy people in his cabinet 8 years ago, but they look like law abiding Mensa members compared to the likes of Tulsi Gabbard and Matt Gaetz. So much of the absolute crazy stuff he wanted to do was halted by the people around him. That is not going to be the case with this bunch.

Guys. We’re not surviving this. It’s been a good run.

Gaetz is nowhere near as funny as Hegseth. It's of course bad to have a pedophile as AG but he's further to the left on antitrust and corporate power than most Dems.

Attorney General nominee Matt Gaetz does not have federal criminal experience except in the area of sex trafficking.

Guess we can put that "they'll just 25th him and get JD in a few months" stuff to bed, eh?

That was never happening. Trump is going to enjoy a sweet life of playing golf, and let the inmates run the asylum.

I was just telling a friend yesterday that Trump's nominations so far are bad, but I was expecting worse. The Secretary of Defense and AG nominations have us back where I expected to be.

Gaetz is being brought in to rubber stamp Trump going after political enemies and Hegseth is there to purge non-MAGA generals.

RainMaker · Today, 04:37 PM

There was always going to be a few oddballs in there and I imagine one of them doesn't get approved (probably Hesgeth). But most of the others are just run-of-the-mill neocons like he had the first time around. Is Gaetz really much worse than Jeff Sessions?

There's nothing Trump can do that is remotely as damaging as having an electorate that chose him twice. The damage is already done.

Rumors are Trump is planning on working with Johnson to use an article 2 power that never been used previously. If the two chambers disagree about adjourning, the President can adjourn them. So long as Johnson is on board, this means Trump will recess appoint everybody regardless of what the Senate decides.

They either agree to adjourn with the House and Trump makes the appointments or they disagree, Trump adjourns them, and then makes recess appointments.

t least for the next two years Trump is going to have whoever he wants.

America wanted a dictator...so a dictator they will get.

Hope they enjoy it

Most don't.

His staffing choices, or the extremely high failure rate for them, are probably my single biggest gripe about term one
