I really hope in a 2nd Trump he stays away from people in the “system”. Screw the Senate. Don’t let them turn advise and consent into, we will place deep state pukes in your administration. More people who have NEVER visited DC!
Swamp creatures are threatened by Trump and spew whatever bile they can. The chaos Trump causes is accountability, no one in DC wants to be accountable. They all want a blank check from the taxpayers.

I don’t buy the narrative that McConnell chose Trump’s many “bad” nominees. The evidence is the many bad choices Trump made that did not require Senate approval. Examples: Paul Manafort as campaign manager, Michael Cohen as his personal attorney, Anthony Scaramucci as WH communications director, Reince Priebus and John Kelly as White House Chief of Staff among many examples. Arguably Jeff Sessions was Trump’s choice for AG, not McConnells. Sessions was prominent in Trumps 2016 campaign and very close to Trump.
Assuming though McConnell did behind the scenes control many Trump picks. Why didn’t Trump put up a fight. Trump had the bully pulpit. If he had a truly outstanding person he wanted to appoint but McConnell told him no, Trump could have sent the nomination to the Senate and if McConnell actually resisted Trump could have told McConnell if he didn’t move the nomination through the Senate he would use the bully pulpit to rile up the GOP voting base. Not once did Trump go to the mat with McConnell on a nomination.
If Trump couldn’t handle McConnell during his first term, why should anyone believe he can handle Majority Leader Schumer? Or if the GOP takes the Senate in 2024, Majority Leader McConnell?
