Trump's women and other questions added 3 names

Last edited Tue Nov 12, 2024, 12:57 PM - Edit history (2)

So far here’s how Trump’s women are faring

Elise Stefanik 🤣 poor dear. Appears she is unhappy with her appointment to the UN. Wanted a cabinet position.

Melania Trump 😬poor dear. Putin ordered Russian tv to show her nude pictures on live tv. She probably will not have tea tomorrow with Jill Biden. Something about FBI going through her underwear drawer?

Kristi Noem 😳 poor dear Homeland Security. South Dakota Governor knows squat about border issues. Any bets on how long she lasts?

Nikki Haley ☹️ poor dear. Bent the knee and got the shaft.

Trump’s bros

Little Marco Rubio poor dear. Not a diplomat - politician looking towards 2028? Wonder how long he lasts?

Questions

Is Trump afraid some of his appointees too radical even for the Senate?

When will Trump ignore a Supreme Court order? Bets now open.

But the most important question - when will JD 25th amendment Trumpy? Bets now open.

What happens to the slim House majority when Trump appoints all his loyalists? 😬

How many Republican Senators will go for Trump’s recess appointment ask? Can you say separation of power?

Anything else? Feel free to add.

These folks haz a mad
Leonard Leo
Justice Alito
Darren Wood, CEO Exxon

Fewer than a third of Trump’s appointees will last his full term. He’s addicted to chaos and anyone who’s remotely competent will eventually find themselves told to do something that they are unwilling to do.

Dictators often are just as you described and fail because of it. Cold comfort to those who suffer before the dictator fails, however.

I suspect that Trump will pick the rest of his cabinet with people with great loyalty to him .... and specifically not to Vance. For at least a year, you can argue the majority of America voted for the mess that is Trump. Unless he has a major medical incident, too severe to hide, I suspect that Vance will not try the 25th.

I think year 2, it won't happen because he risks the midterms if some Trump voters feel Trump was stabbed in the back. Now by mid 3rd year, the pre primaries will be heating up. IF Vance is sure of Trump's support, he may see himself better off staying behind Trump to win the 2028 nomination.

So, unless Trump has a major medical incident, the most likely time would be immediately after the midterms, but only if Trump has not been seen as close to Vance. The role he gives Vance would be the best clue to that.

I was thinking 3-6 months due to Trump’s increasing signs of dementia.

Your thoughts may be the plan. Ole JD is there for one reason - Project 2025. It would make sense to wait until after the midterms.

Adding that Vance is very young and is in the unusual position that Trump can serve only one term - assuming we still have a democracy and a Constitution.

He could have several paths to the Presidency. 1) Trump dying or becoming glaringly incapacitated, 2) a Vance/Thiel/Musk coup where Trump is removed by the 25th amendment even though he is exactly as he was when the three of them endorsed him, 3) winning the nomination and election as the Trump favorite OR if someone else is the Trump favorite, as the Republican alternative. However, he should think about how dangerous it is to be close to a dictator. In Russia, that seems to greatly increase your propensity to fall out of windows. Here, it might be more fall out of favor.

He is cynical and ambitious, he will choose whatever he sees most likely to win. Remember he wrote an autobiography that I have not read but which appears to show everyone but himself as dysfunctional, and he repeatedly distorted the story of his mother's addiction where she obtained prescriptions for opioids illegally as a nurse with illegal drug running across the border. Walz was right he is weird, but he is intelligent even as he seems to lack emotional intelligence.

And they will cash in and grift as much as possible.
When they leave or get fired they will have a much bigger bank account.
