Caligula made his horse a senator. This is Trump with his picks of who he is nominating to these positions. He is intentionally just fucking with everybody, trying to shock and stun us with this absolute stupidity. It is embarrassing to listen people in the media parse these picks in any serious way. It is blatantly obvious why he is doing it.
He must be literally having meetings where he asks "Who would be the absolute last person, the most shocking person we could ever put in this job?"
"For AG? I guess the teeny fucker, Gaetz. That would make people's teeth fall out of their skulls when they hear it." someone says.
"Never could get him confirmed?" Trump says causing laughter to erupt in the room.
"No fucking way." someone says.
"He's my AG then." Trump says.
"What about Secretary of Defense?" Trump asks staring at the TV which is always on in the background.
"If this is the way we are doing this, what about that guy?" someone answers pointing at the TV.
"Who is he?" Trump asks, "He is goodlooking."
"Well, it says on the screen he is Pete Hegseth, whoever that is." is the answer.
"Done, he's my pick for Defense." Trump says slapping the table.
"DNI?" Trump asks the room.
"Just don't pick Gabbard, she is a foreign asset. That is eventually going to come out. I know you want these picks to upset people but that's just over the line." someone says and Trump smiles.
"Gabbard it is, I like Tulsi. She's my DNI." Donald gloats.
"Jesus. This shit is never going to fly." someone groans.
"We do this using recess appointments." Trump says. "Fuck them all."
"What about the country? Gabbard would be a risk to the country." a person pleads.
"Fuck the country!" Trump yells, "It's mine!"
The room goes silent.
