Trump 2.0: Pompeo, Friedman among floated appointees
Israel Hayom ^ | 11/6/2024 | Ariel Kahana

The former president sees loyalty as a key criterion as he considers a mix of familiar faces and new allies for top positions.

-snip-

the State Department leadership is likely to be determined from among three contenders: former National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien, Senator Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, and Senator Marco Rubio of Florida.

-snip-

Former US Ambassador Richard Grenell, who served as Trump's envoy to Germany, has emerged as a leading candidate for national security advisor.

The defense secretary position has drawn three prominent candidates: former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Representative Mike Waltz of Florida, and Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas.

-snip-

For White House chief of staff, the highest-ranking position within the president's inner circle, veteran political strategist Susie Wiles has emerged as the leading candidate. Wiles, widely credited as the mastermind behind Trump's recent election victory, may be joined in the senior leadership team by former Trump White House official Brooke Rollins, who is also under consideration for the role.

Absolutely no to globalist, Deep Stater Pompeo.

It's not the least bit surprising a war pig like you, though, would be pushing him.

Senators are too risky. It’s successors. Got me worried about JD’s successor.

In a wide-ranging interview on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast last month, Trump declared that his “biggest mistake” during his first term was hiring “bad people, or disloyal people” to his White House team.

No insiders.

Nobody with a big ego. Trump needs people at the top who will follow orders. Pompeo isn’t that guy.

“Pompeo did such a bang up job not fixing State. Guybis a deep state POS.”

He did what Trump asked; he went around the CIA and State apparatus to forge Middle East and Asia policies without them, using negotiators he and Trump chose from outside the Deep State.

The GOP has to admit that they will need a law suspending all the federal civil service protections for a couple years if they really want to shrink the federal agencies. Otherwise they will shuffle people out of their desks to empty positions with no duties but still collecting federal pay penions and benes. Meanwhile the White House will have to figure out how to just go around them.

Pompeo was loyal to Trump for his entire time in office.

Nikki Haley and McConnell "endorsed" Trump, too. Do you want them to to serve in his administration, too?

I bet you'd love to him bring back John Bolton, too.

The party of Bush is dead. What about that don't you understand?
