Mike Pompeo is good. Trump (if hes fortunate enough to win the election) should fill his Cabinet with proven Loyalists. Ben Carson is another one. No one from the swamp.

How about Allen West?

[cowboyusa]

I would like a true Jacksonian America Firstwr in there.

[Georgia Girl 2]

My money’s on Miller. Kash Patel at CIA or NSA.

[Eccl 10:2]

Jim Jordan for AG

[pghoilman]

Well there is that.

[Sequoyah101]

Don’t know about Sec Def but if he can get Matthew George Whitaker for AG I think that would be an outstanding move. That guy in action for the short time he did the job was great.

[reasonisfaith]

Miller by a long shot.

[bigbob]

Chief of Staff seems to be a popular spot for backstabbers...so maybe Don Jr or Eric?

And why not Laura Trump for Press Secretary?

[Golden Eagle]

Whitaker did nothing to even slow Mueller down while he was acting AG. Literally nothing. He also gave interviews indicating he was anti-Trump in the past as well. I wouldn’t trust that guy myself. Here’s some examples.

Kash Patel at CIA or NSA.

Solid choice right there.

[Maris Crane]

Please don’t think I am being rude...but, I HAPPEN TO LOVE MATT WHITTAKER...BUT

I remember when, for a very short time, he was in charge of the DOJ. I cannot, for the life of me, remember ANYTHING he did to try to correct all the wrongs.

If you can tell me some of the things he did, it would support my support for him.

Now, I know, he was surrounded by a plethora of vipers, he would get NO help from the corruption that sucked up everyone at that time.

I just wish I could think of one thing that he did.

Ken Paxton for AG - maybe Supreme Court

In January 2019, Whitaker along with Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross, and FBI Director Christopher A. Wray announced 23 criminal charges against Chinese technology giant Huawei and its CFO Meng Wanzhou, including financial fraud, money laundering, conspiracy to defraud the United States, theft of trade secret technology, providing bonuses to workers who stole confidential information from companies around the world, wire fraud, obstruction of justice and sanctions violations.

In 2017, Whitaker had repeatedly criticized the Mueller investigation on television and on social media and stated that there was no collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign. Justice Department ethics officials advised Whitaker that there was no financial, personal, or political conflict that would require him to recuse himself from supervision of the Russia investigation

Besides, I liked they way he handled himself against the smarmy democraps during house and senate testimony.

If Trump could get him to sign a loyalty oath, I think the surprising pick would be DeSantis. He understands the military, would love to clean out all the DEI woke crap, and doesn’t want to start a bunch of wars.

[Mr. N. Wolfe]

Christopher Miller. By far the best choice.

[wgmalabama]

He may be better off with a random list of supporters.

What are you guys doing?

If you are going to drain the Swamp, you don’t go finding Swamp filth to hire.

The same qualification is required of these positions as for the presidency — the people must not have a political career and must not have held jobs for over 4 years in DC.

These positions should be filled with names Trump knows personally from outside govt.
