It's obvious why TSF is making these bizarre cabinet picks.

He can only remember a handful of people at all. Mostly the ones that he heard of recently.

Kick it up a notch and he'll be nominating dead historical figures.

Where so many others here are attributing super-human capabilities to trump, convinced he has super powers that he can use to overthrow this democracy, this is the flat out truth, right here. OK maybe it's a little exaggerated, but not much.

We will watch the foolishness for about a year and he'll be ushered out the door. I do not see him in office past 2025.

This is pretty rich for a guy whose original campaign promise was to drain the swamp. He's filling it back up with a swampier swamp and skankier swamp creatures.

They have a team that has been making lists of loyal supporters to reward with key positions.

These picks aren't bizarre, they are completely expected and are names of people he has been surrounding himself with for awhile.

So much for running squeaky clean candidates.

The American trash who voted for him deserve all of the corruptions and problems he will create while those of us who voted for Harris are going to suffer needlessly because of their stupidity and hatred.

these picks are classic Trump, I did notice that almost to a person they are people who have been prominent in the news lately. I figured Trump must not get around much in Washington if he can only think of people recently on TV. I mean, Kristi Noem???? There's got to be people in Washington just as unqualified for these positions he could pick that we haven't heard of in the past week.
