Which makes him the ideal MAGA pic for HUD.

The place where he could really harm State affordable housing policies is HUD’s CDBG grants to States. This nomination is appalling.

These absolute zero people are all Stephen Miller's doing. That guy is an evil Klan member-type racist asshole pig.

ofc the appointee is trash > they wouldn't have been considered if they had an ounce of decency

Hurt as many people as possible while making a few people indecently rich(er) is the republican way!

That totally tracks: all his appointees basically want to destroy the thing they’ll be (ostensibly) in charge of

This is unsurprising because these are the kinds of dudes he nominated in his first administration. However, do we honestly think a DeSantis administration would have been much different? Say what you want about W, the GOP has nominated or flirted with nominating cruel people since 2008. Period!

Clearly they are not going to be working for us.

what is this gang that is being assembled? Not a single qualified person among them, yeah that's what he wants ... great way to FU the USA ...

How else would he get to be secretary of anything?

He got 'his black guy'. Sounds like a terrible person. Check.

Another grossly unqualified cabinet nominee.

Tracks… everyone he picks is against the administration they are picked to lead. Dismantling from within

And of course Trump picks another black guy for HUD, weirdly the only agency he ever seems to associate with black people

Which as a landlord is completely dumb. The federal government never misses a due date and you can't say that about every tenant.

crystalsoul42.bsky.social•99 days ago

Since the goal is to end housing assistance, this could become a deciding factor for landlords. As always, it only affects the poor. The cruelty really *is* the point.

No-one will really be in charge in the WH. Trump has assembled a group with very differing & conflicting ideologies & interests that will be fighting each other. Meanwhile the 2 main issues of cost of living & accommodation will be the deluded orange buffoon's downfall with his base and the public 💙

"Football proved an escape. Turner received a scholarship to play for the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, and then he went on to a nearly decade-long career in the National Football League."
