That should keep the turtle in line. His head will retract back into his shell a little.
Totally agree with you. He would Have Bitch McConnell by the balls (if he had any) because that position isn’t necessary. He could eliminate it and Fire Her anytime the turtle id disobedient. Trump is out smarting them, and some here too. The Turtle should have not let his wife take that position....but as I said..if he had any.
Yes, definitely a move with Yertle the Turtle in mind. Transportation? A minor office. Don’t think that Trump won’t be involved with improving our infrastructure.
She’ll be getting LOTS of Trump supervision.
But this move gets the Turtle more in hand. I don’t foresee Trump having much problem exerting leverage over the House, given his strong link with the people (who can primary GOPe types in the House).
This move enlists the Turtle to exert leverage on McCain, Linda, Flakey Flake, etc.
A favor for the minor Transportation Secretary in exchange for leverage in the Senate?
A smart trade, IMO.
