Donald Trump choses individuals aligned with America First objectives for cabinet posts
Had Donald Trump embarked on his second term in 2021, we would be looking back at almost 8 years of a Trump presidency. The left would be happy that “orange man” would finally be out of Washington. Instead, we find ourselves looking to an upcoming second Trump term. This was after the former president wielded some influence on the GOP since 2021. Trump means business. A look at his cabinet picks reflects Trump’s ambition to cut down on government waste, to increase efficiency, to reduce the bureaucracy, and to hold people accountable who otherwise would get away with punishable acts.
From Fox News:
Dan Eberhart, an oil drilling chief executive officer and a prominent Republican donor and bundler who raised big bucks for Trump’s 2020 and 2024 campaigns, noted that Trump is in a very different situation than he was eight years ago, when he first won the White House.
“He’s got a stronger mandate because he won the popular vote, and he won all seven swing states,” Eberhart emphasized. “I also think he knows what he wants, and he knows better how to get what he wants out of Washington. He’s going to have a more cohesive, more MAGA team, that’s hopefully able to accomplish more.”
A leading strategist in Trump’s political orbit, who asked to remain anonymous to speak more freely, told Fox News that “one thing that is noticeable this time around is that instead of a team of rivals who are all over the place ideologically, Trump is largely bringing people on who are aligned with his America First agenda.”
Matt Mowers, a veteran Republican consultant and 2020 GOP congressional nominee in New Hampshire who worked on Trump’s 2016-2017 transition and served in the first Trump administration, told Fox News that Trump has “decided he needs everyone aligned.”
“What he’s doing is he’s choosing a lot of people who aren’t just going to undo the Biden polices but really try to take a hammer to the bureaucracy… which is what he calls the ‘deep state,'” Mowers added.
Those whom the president-elect feels have not shown their loyalty to him appear to be iced out.
Trump this past weekend announced in a social media post that he would not ask former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley – who served as ambassador to the U.N. in his first administration – and former Rep. Mike Pompeo of Kansas – who served as CIA director and then Secretary of State in Trump’s first term – to join his incoming cabinet.

Republicans are so weird! Picking people who put their country first to serve in the positions of greatest responsibility for their country!? Who would have thought of such a thing?
Next you will be saying that nobody was picked based upon gender, sexual orientation or race. How do they expect to get anything done?
The majority of people voted for the America First platform, so that’s who is being put into those positions.
Promises made. Promises kept.
And Susan Collins has announced her bid for a sixth term.
She’s been hiding for the last few years hoping the democrats
would prevail over Trump. Now all of a sudden she is a true
Republican once again and can’t shut up about her support.
Scrunt
To the Nth Degree!
I used to call her and Snowe, “Obama’s comfort girls.”
I was right then, and right now.
But but but diversity is our strength!
Make America Normal Again!
Not to mention how much better the VP is than last time.. Hopefully Jan 20th starts 12 yrs in the WH for him ( and us!)
Trump learned a lot from his first round in the White House. Pence was an ancient swamp monster who used campaign donations to support himself while he ran for Congress. He was another who showed his true character in the end.
In other news Tim Scott was elected Republican Senate Chairman. This is a huge power boost for him and the America First movement. It definitely means he won’t serve in the administration.
Nope, John Thune was elected to replace McTurtle.
You mean “Blubberneck” McConnell?
You are talking oranges and pineapples. The Republican Senate Chair is the equivalent to the head of the Democratic Senate Caucus. The old one was John Barrasso from Wyoming.

This is where the real power within the party, and therefore the party in which power resides. Most of the rest of what takes place on the floor are shows for public consumption. Issues are discussed off line, actual nominations for leadership positions are fielded etc.

It doesn’t become official until January but it is quite a jump. It’s sort of like being made coach of a football team.
All kidding aside….this is awesome! It’s so simple. It just means that Trump does in fact love his country and wants only to make it great again and to do that, he must put the right person in the best position for them to succeed and thus for the country to succeed. I don’t think he gives two shits if the nominee makes a splash or offends anyone – he is only concerned with the well-being of our country and its citizens. Simple as that. No DEI, NO NOTHING! Just the right person to do the job!
One more thing…I forgot…..Trump is stunning and brave!
Sucks to say it, but had Trump not been elected the first time, those speaking out about what’s going on would be considered nut cases. Now, everybody sees it. And those squaking the loudest know their nuts are in a vice now.
In choosing Matt Gaetz for AG, it gets rid of him in DC if the Senate doesn’t confirm him since he’s already resigned his seat in Congress. Either way, DJT WINS!
The fake gray streaks with Tulsi Gabbard
have been annoying for years.
Jay Leno played this up for years,
and even reversed it when he got old,
with a corresponding black streak in front.
How do you know Tulsi’s streaks are fake?
“Only her hairdresser knows for sure”
She is, to me, one of the most elegant ladies I have seen since my Trophy Wife Pam.
I know a lot of women with the grey or white streak, most due it the same color to blend it. I actually prefer the more natural look.
Had a roommate in AIT with bright red hair, except for a quarter-sized white patch where he had a birthmark. I’d guess it’s more common than people realize.
Tulsi is likely compromised.
She also doesn’t have a single day of relevant experience or training for the position of DNI.
In fact, she might as well put “Russian Asset” on her confirmation resume. Because that would literally be her only relevant experience in intelligence.
Interesting you had a completely different take when she was a democrat candidate for President.. I know others will say it, but I’ll be the first. As usual, you’re a FRAUD!
Try to do better… I understand that your religion does not tolerate apostates, but still.. do better..
It’d be really awesome if you could provide some kind of reference for your claim. You know, something like your renowned “empirical evidence”. I’ve heard your claims for years, and you’re always lacking in anything resembling evidence or facts. Do better. You are consistent, however. Now, I’d like you to list the qualifications of each and every member of Biden’s cabinet and his advisors. You have your assignment, now make it happen.
I am certain I there is a CNN piece based upon an article from The Nation that says that exact thing. That is like the truthiest truth ever.
For a supposedly UCB educated (albeit useless and unemployed) man — you don’t really offer up anything other than a steaming pile of donkey shit before running off again into the dark. Great take, scooter… really hard hitting analysis there.
I remember your Don Lemon-esque farewell speech a month or so back. Announcing to a packed auditorium that you’re leaving, like anyone actually gives a shit — but here you are. Again. You just can’t help yourself.
You’re a fraud, a phony and a gigantic pussy.
You’re very WEAK once again, Major Moonbat. On the other hand, try to name a single member of the Biden Cabinet who isn’t a DEI token in one way or another!
