Why would you not trust Pompeo?? He was probably the best SOS we've had since Kissinger.
Pompeo was a great SOS and he seems to have gotten along with Trump. If he were SOS now, none of the Ukrainian disaster would have happened.
I’d rather see him as SOS again in a DeSantis presidency. Like it or not, I think it’s highly unlikely that Trump could get elected again, and I’m not even sure he wants to. But DeSantis is ready to fight back if they try to stop him.
De Santis doesn’t have much international experience, although like Reagan, he is governor of a big state with international contacts and knows how these things work. But if he appointed Pompeo, who is very tough but a negotiator at the same time, it would be spectacular!
