Summary
Donald Trump Jr. has become a key adviser to his father, influencing cabinet appointments for Trump’s upcoming administration.
He is reportedly prioritizing loyalists over experienced candidates, backing controversial figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for health secretary and Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence, both of whom face Senate challenges.
Trump Jr. also played a role in selecting JD Vance as vice president-elect and blocking Mike Pompeo’s cabinet return.
Despite this, Trump’s reliance on family has lessened, due to a more structured team led by chief of staff Susie Wiles.
“The reality this time is we actually know what we’re doing,” Don Jr told Fox News earlier this month. “And it’s about surrounding my father with people who are both competent and loyal.”
What a massive self own. He’s straight up admitting they were totally clueless last administration. And the reason they are choosing all these hacks is because they will go along with the next coup attempt. This is going to be an absolute shit show.
Just remember, everyone: The number one favorite strategy in the Republican playbook is…
Create a loud problem to hide the ones they don’t want you to see.
Every time something happens that is meant to cause outrage ask yourself what else is going on. It’s always reported on, just have to look.
In between bumps of pocket cocaine?
Yeah… remember how much conservative media was making fun of coke-addled Hunter Biden?
Now we have coke-addled Trumpy Jr. Making the goofiest fucking cabinet picks the world has ever seen.
It’s normal for the oldest child to take over decisions for a parent whose mental capacity is faltering.
This US election, considering the comparative power a US voter has, is the stupidest act I’ve seen by a population in my lifetime.
Well we did Brexit in the UK, currently holding the record for longest lasting self-inflicted fuck-up. Hell it’s been long enough that even some of the right wing loons are starting to realise that it might not have been the sunshine and roses they were promised.
However I’m under no illusions that a another 4 years of trump could easily make that look rational by comparison.
