Now, however, he's wise to the ways of the (deep state) moles and will make more judicious decisions when it comes to close advisors.
I think RFK Jr. and Vivak deserve spots but I'm not sure what or where.
Who do you think should be there, and in what capacity?
I am available.
Avoid “experts”.
Avoid “insiders”.
I think Trump has learned this lesson well.
I hope the biggest priority is cutting staff and removing SES. Do less. Always do less. If anyone stands up and says, “You can’t do that!” then they ought to be the next to go.
I am far too busy for a cabinet position, but I might consider an advisory position similar to that of Elon Musk.
Ron Paul - Head of Treasury
Kari Lake - Press Sec
Elon Musk - DOGE (Dept. of Gov’t Efficiency)
Flynn - Dept. of Defense
EPA - gone
DoE - gone
HHS - RFK Jr.
DOJ - Alex Jones
I hope he learned a lot from the first time he was in office and picks sensible people this time around. AND he can keep Ivanka and Jared out of the white house! Maybe Lara and Eric can give it a go this time.
He needs to pick more loyal people this time around. Gabbard should have a place in his administration
Kari Lake for Whitehouse spokesperson!
I think Trup has already decided on his cabinet positions for the most part. He has been working on these things for months according to some sources out there.
He is also paying for his own transition team. He has to keep deep state bad actors out this time.
One that I wish he would dump is Pompeo. Pompeo has backstabbed him and can’t be trusted.
Am confident Trump has already given that considerable thought based on the recommendations of knowledgeable sources along with his own instincts. He likely has backups that will fit having either a single chamber or both.
In light of the unprecedented number of attempts to remove him, he has no doubt provided Vance with a full binder.
There are several really good candidates: Tulsi, Vivek, RFK Jr, Dr Ben Carson, Elon Musk will be an advisor but not a formal cabinet secretary. For AG, I’d love Ken Paxton but if he has his heart set on running for Senator against Jon Cornyn, then Mike Davis. Jeffrey Clark who was one of the few honest DOJ Lawyers in the first Trump administration and who has been persecuted for trying to actually investigate the steal needs to have his integrity and loyalty rewarded. Kash Patel and Richard Grenell are two more in the first administration who were loyal to bring on board for the second.
We need to give a role to Scott Presler. He was instrumental in PA. Third of hunters weren’t registered, most of Amish weren’t and he went directly to ranges/gun shows, Amish markets, etc.
Am I the only one to notice that Trump hasn’t had Lindsey Graham around him, or introduced him in the audience, for the past several months...hasn’t even mentioned him? Graham really hurt Trump with his “advice” the first time around.
Kash Patel for A.G. or Head of FBI. Sidney Powell could help clean up DOJ.
Also need at least 2 SCOTUS judges in the wings. Get Thomas and Alito to enjoy their retired lives.
Judge Ho seems a likely an obvious choice.
Attorney General: Matt Whittaker
Just think of all the #$&@ that will have to “resign” before Trump takes the oath. The rest he will fire.
Tom Homan - DHS
“Time to think about the cabinet”
It’s only been hours now.
Respectfully, I’m taking time to CELEBRATE and let this sink in, first.
