The infighting is the point.
The dear leader is most threatened by his closest advisors, ministers and generals.
They are in a powerful enough position to topple him.
So it's crucial that they constantly fight each other.
Former President Trump said the “biggest mistake” of his presidency was picking “bad, disloyal people” to join his administration.
(source)
It boggles the mind that anybody would be expecting Trump to consider anything but loyalty for his appointments.
I imagine the conversations going a bit like "You are going to be part of my cabinet. I'm told it's not the type of cabinet you put things in, but a group of people that make decisions and handle all the boring stuff. My cabinet is going to be the best most beautiful cabinet anyone has ever seen. Here's the hat with available positions. Let's see what you get."
"a hat comes with the cabinet position"
Trump is trying to legitimize pedophilia. He doesn't want to be the only one guilty of it in his circle
Trump is training Gaetz up to become the next Epstein
Pass it on
You are very brave to go over there...
To be fair, I got this from elsewhere. I am not that brave.
These were the same people who swore in January that they wouldn't vote if DeSantis didn't get the nomination, and who cringed to death when Trump sold NFTs
Truly "me and the boys" type of picks
Pretty entertaining thread https://www.reddit.com/r/Conservative/comments/1gqn3i2/trump_taps_matt_gaetz_for_attorney_general/
Holy shit that sub is unhinged. I just read a comment suggesting that Obama setup a bunker 3 miles away from DC to run the country from.
I can think of a lot of worse picks.
Yeah, for real. These guys lack imagination if Matt Gaetz for AG is the "worst possible" pick for AG.
How about AG Barack Obama?
How about AG George Soros?
How about AG Vermin Supreme?
Trump is real fucking stupid, but he's smart enough to pick someone who isn't going to be good at the job of prosecuting criminals considering he is one. His one criteria for this position is loyalty and Gaetz seems to have that going for him. Doesn't matter in the end of he's ineffective because Trump doesn't have an interest in actually governing.
I perceive this as a loyalty test. Trump will see who opposes Gaetz and put them on his enemies list. Then he'll eliminate them to "drain the swamp. "
Our loyalty is due entirely to the United States. It is due to the President only and exactly to the degree in which he efficiently serves the United States. It is our duty to support him when he serves the United States well. It is our duty to oppose him when he serves it badly.
--Teddy Roosevelt
That's how it should work, but anyone expecting that from the Trump administration and his subservient partisans is delusional.
Can we agree as a society that Gaetz should only ever be referred to as Florida Man?
Florida Pedophile, and I'm in.
Trump's last attorney general was the son of a paedophile who was Epstein's mentor and gave him his career start.
A paedo Attorney General is part of Trump's brand.
Trump himself is a pedophile. Which a lot of them know full well and just dismissed as irrelevant because it's Trump.
What are those phrases? Like follows like and birds of a feather flock together?
The whole obsession was always super transparent. They literally fling around old 4chan pedo slang.
Birds of a shit feather flock together, Randy.

Oh, don't worry. I'm sure they'll fall in line in a couple of days and act like Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.

I’m just really hoping Trump will piss off republicans in Congress fast enough that they stop supporting him before he can cause any real harm.
I too hope they waste the next few years with factional infighting. The senate Republicans have already gone against his personal pick for majority leader and picked a boring neocon.
A standstill is probably the best you could hope for right now, but not exactly a positive outcome.
There's zero chance of a positive outcome. The best we can hope for is the least destructive outcome.
Ideally, they shit the bed badly while somehow not doing too much damage, and the Democrats take both houses in a landslide in 2026.
Delusional hopium I know, but hey, you never know.
Actually that's pretty much what I expect
Boring neocon and status quo is the absolute best case scenario at this point.
Who still appears on board for recess picks
How long until he gets replaced and Trump releases the info to burn the bridge entirely and install an even worse person?
I think it's slightly different than what you're suggesting. I'm thinking he's picking the worst people he can pick for these jobs so they get denied and his next pick, which is almost as bad, gets approved instead.
Either way, he mostly gets what he wants... and if whatever attorney general finally does get approved ends up fucking up, which they will, Trump can say, "not my fault, I nominated Gaetz."
Trump isn't smart enough to do that
Amazing how many people think Trump is actually in charge.
That's brilliant, which means that trump isn't thinking that. He's picking the absolute worst people, because he always chooses the absolute worst options for any given choice. We already lived through this reality for four years.
I think you’re assigning a level of intelligence that Trump simply doesn’t have here. He’s absolutely not planning for anything more than 10 seconds ahead. He’s got a list of people he knows will do anything he says and he’s installing them wherever with no rhyme or reason.
Sorry, I'm not trying to suggest this plan was come up with by Trump himself. It would be the people behind him.
