The Trump cabinet Thread

[Cryingdick]

Stefanik- Ambassador to the UN.

 

Zeldin- EPA

 

Rubio- Secretary of State

 

Waltz- AG

 

That's all i can think of off hand that are likely or have accepted. By all means add anybody that comes up. This is the place to discuss all of them 

[riclag]

Noem for Homeland security!

 

All of these choices have a common bond! They can take on the left’s activist pretending to be journalists.

 

Stefanik was a good choice ! Very capable ! Someone mentioned on Twitter that she leans moderate to much!

[Cryingdick]

Waltz is actually NSA 

 

Sorry for the mistake.

Ratcliffe- CIA

[Cryingdick]

CNN is reporting 

 

Hegseth- Secretary of Defense  lol

 

Musk & Ramaswamy DOGE Departmant of Government Efficiency.

 

I can honestly say Hegseth wasn't on my bingo card. 

 

Huckabee - Ambassador to Israel.

[Cryingdick]

McGinley- WH counsel

[EVENKEEL]

Tom Homan - Border Czar. OK not a cabinet position but much needed.

Yeah I tried to stick to official appointments. So now we can expand it. The DOGE agency doesn't exist.

OK. REDUX take 2:

Pre-Covid maybe 2019 I was in a BigC when I had a brief chat with an older Brit. He asked me what I thought of then President Trump. I said I didn't vote for him in 2016 and won't vote for him in 2020. But he IS the President for now and, wishing him any failure for political gain, is for fools.

So I hope Trump is not again elected, but, if he is, I will just as above hope for the best for the country.

He has been elected.

[jerrymahoney]

I guess so but that post was before he was elected. The times and I were both different, but I can also remember 1972 when Nixon was re-elected. Say what? Edited November 13 by jerrymahoney

And far-right wing FOX pseudo-journalist pretending to be Sec of Defense.
 

Nevertheless, I agree, Elise Stefanik and Mike Waltz, both sitting House members, are good choices as it will reduce MAGA's influence in the House.
 

Of course, Twitter (X), now under Elon’s thumb, is the go-to verifiable source—because what’s more trustworthy than someone with a conflict of interest playing both sides?

Fire everybody! Except those at SSA. Start with Education, then Justice and Treasury. Clean out Defense, too.

Trump’s defense choice stuns the Pentagon, raises questions about the Fox News host’s experience

 

The news was met with bewilderment and wide-eyed worry among many in Washington, as Trump passed on a number of established national security heavy-hitters and chose an Army National Guard captain who is well-known in conservative circles as a co-host of Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends Weekend.”

His only relevant military experience in a war zone is infantry platoon commander. Hardly valuable and hardly in keeping with past appointments to the position. Just a reward for being a loyalist and a TV anchor, Trump's obsession.

Musk & Vivek : Bureaucratic incompetence team duo ! Its safe to say government won’t be buying  a nut & a bolt for ridiculous amounts of money as in the past.

2.8 million Federal workers currently working as of 2023 ! It should be interesting to see them make cuts into 

to that figure! 
Its a new day in America!

Elon Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy to lead Trump's Department of Government Efficiency

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/elon-musk-vivek-ramaswamy-lead-trumps-department-government-efficiency

 

This is an excellent move by Trump to clean up the Government from years of Democratic socialism. So much money has been wasted by the left wing Democrats and it needs to stop. Musk and Ramaswamy will do an excellent job of reducing Federal waste.

"The Pentagon has completed its review of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ‘s failure last month to quickly notify the president and other senior leaders about his hospitalization for complications from prostate cancer"

Austin must go, he is a total failure at many things including keeping the President informed. Pete Hegseth is a veteran and will do an excellent job as Secretary of Defense.

You mean the guy with 2 Bronze Stars for valour in combat? Instructor in counterinsurgency? Degrees from Princeton and Harvard? Yeah, totally unqualified....

Stop lying. His bronze stars were not awarded for combat and there is no public record he ever saw actual combat.

The link you posted proves you wrong.

 

Hanaguma was wrong about being awarded two Bronze Stars though. He was only awarded one. Because it was awarded with the Combat "V" that is pretty good evidence.

 

He also was awarded the Combat Infantry Badge which is awarded for

	Performing duties while personally present and under fire while serving in an assigned infantry, ranger or special forces capacity, in a unit of brigade, regimental, or smaller size, engaged in active ground combat

The record I posted does not show any V device attached. Prove your accusation.
