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.
It’s normal for the oldest child to take over decisions for a parent whose mental capacity is faltering.
And naturally when the king dies, the throne will go to his heirs.
Every rhetorically cautious bone in my body doesn’t want me to say it, but I think we elected the king.
^I’m saying rhetorically cautious because I feel if I said “careful moderation” people would think “politically moderate” where I mean being careful not to jump to conclusions and make wild claims (extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence)^
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.
Time will tell whether a Trump 2.0 dictatorship was a longer-lasting self-own than Brexit.
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 so interesting how they will dig through a stolen laptop and make a huge deal of it every single day for 2 years.
Trump Jr does cocaine in public on camera and it’s perfectly normal.
I think that’s a major difference in left vs right media. The Right understands marketing. You need to repeat a message over and over before it gets into the public consciousness. Democrats never stick to one subject. They’re always onto the new shiny criticism. For example, labeling Trump as “weird” was just gaining traction when they moved onto the new idea.
Right? It was wild how the weird thing was really going well and they decided to close out the last couple of months by hanging out with Liz Cheney.
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.
“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.
