Trump never, EVER had his choice of who would be in his cabinet because establishment Republicans like Romney, Murkowski, Collins, among others would have blocked any of his choices.
But, you want us to believe the same establishment Republicans that undermined him from time he started running through J6 committee trial would allow him to pick he wanted.
Trump’s statement nominating Bill Barr
"He was my first choice from day one, respected by Republicans and respected by Democrats” "He will be nominated for the U.S. attorney general and hopefully that process will go very quickly, and I think it will go very quickly," Trump, December 7, 2018
