Who becomes governor then? The little Nazi is too stupid to be Sec Defense. And his ugly ass wife is nauseating too. Just like Eric’s feckless wife. No experience
He’s an upgrade, so that’s positive. Will keep him out of campaign mode for 2028 and he’ll be attached to the dumpster fire. I like that. I could get comfy if he wears the white boots.
Why does it feel like this was the goal all along? Florida is a laboratory for authoritarianism, they want to remake the US into Florida. They knew Hsgeth would implode, making the appointment of an actual fascist seem like an upgraded decision.
Oh, so the choice is now Hegseth or Lara Trump in the Senate and DeSantis in as SECDEF. I guess the opposition in the Senate to Hegseth is going to disappear now.
We'd be grateful to get him out of FL. I fear there aren't any Dems available to run for governor. We have to save FL public schools! We need sane Health Dept. Prices have soared.
DeSantis would send the military after the American people too, as he tried to have his own private militia henchmen down there for voter suppression. Now he will have the entire armed forces at his disposal.
Is this a quid pro quo? Secdef for Lara Trump as senator? Trump is going to make DeSantis bend the knee and by 2028 have too much baggage as prez contender.
I strongly disagree with this suggestion. Assembling a cabinet position based on party loyalty or personal relationships undermines the integrity of the nomination process and may favor unqualified candidates over qualified ones.
When it comes down to it you can have a guy that is a white supremest & beats woman or a guy that hates Micky Mouse ? We not going like any of them but let’s try to get through next 4 years with as little damage as possible. I’ll take the bobble head guy he at least knows right from wrong
You mean the guy who chartered buses to grab immigrants from Texas, not his state, separated them from their families and support systems, and then horrifically dropped them in Martha's Vineyard? With no resources, support, or notice to in Massachusetts? That's why Trump likes him. NOT A good choice
Six years of active duty and he is fit to run the military? What a strategy this trump transition team.. suggest someone totally ridiculous and replace with someone just ridiculous and people will calm down.
Trump is running out of grievance nominees. It’s DeSantis or someone from the House or Senate. The Republicans have razor this margins in both chambers.
If the Trump Administration is smart, they will help Ukraine destroy Russia so the U.S. can then focus on making "China, China, China" not so great a superpower and send the China-Russia Bi-polar World and the Brics "shit hole" countries to the bin of history.
Oh the irony - republicans are worried about the revaluations appearing almost daily about Hegseth and yet they have a multi convicted, sex pest in the top job
I’m not one of the “Trump plays 4d chess” people, but the pattern seems to be throw someone truly horrible in, they get rejected, then put someone else really bad in but not as obviously bad, they get in without objection.
The lack of shame and self-consciousness boggles the mind. Counting Hegseth, the orange dipshit has seen three nominees come and go before a single confirmation hearing.
As a formet Gitmo JAG interrogation officer, wouldn't DeSantis be less qualified for DOD and more qualified for Trump's STASI...err...FBI when Patel gets dropped?
DeSantis was only a fucking JAG, and a bad one at that. He wore a Bronze Star he never earned- AND he has zero acquisition experience. He's as bad as Hegseth but for different reasons.
Jun 30, 2023 — Ron DeSantis signed a bill Thursday that would allow for roads across Florida to be made with radioactive mining waste that has been linked to cancer.
DUMB
So does it matter that a famous musician rather than a political figure expressed the same sentiment? Does that make it a less fallacious argument pertaining more to authority?
There are no good choices in Trump world but at least maybe we could get Nikki Fried in there in 26 for Gov. I bet u Gaetz would go for it which would likely boost her chances. DeSantis isn't too keen on Gaetz so he won't appoint him if he leaves but Gaetz would probably run in a primary.
Ya know, I'll bet his mother will never be alone with him again... he's gonna blame her. We'll never know, but he will blame her, and she'll know it and she's already afraid of him...
He's stacking Florida, he wants to mske DC irrelevant and run everything from PB unmonitored. That's DeS's goal too, but it's tricky since T ultimately wants DeSantis out and Rick Scott in. This is the chess game to watch. DeSantis could get Gaetz'd, and end up with NO job- I doubt it but who knows?
Somewhere out there, if love can see us through… those who can sagely captain our country’s positions and aspirations must surely exist. Yet, a cavalcade of cartoonish Ministers continues to Silly-Walk past, as we horrified wince out from our idling Sarco Pods. Where are our Beacons of promise?
Everything with Trump is transactional. He will trade anything that doesn’t belong to him away for personal and familial gain. He is NOT conducting an “America First” agenda but a Trump only one.
Also, his nominees suggest he doesn’t know anyone honorable, responsible, reputable.
Sad really but true. And it makes sense. narcissists hate being around anyone who can outshine them in anyway so 🤷♀️ Trump’s has no redeeming qualities which leaves a short list of people he can stand to be around
I believe he was the original choice. I believe the horrible ones that are so egregious even the republicans refuse to countenance them are to inoculate against the second choice being eliminated, as well. “Yeah they suck, but not as badly as Gaetz/Hegseth/etc.”
Doesn’t Trump have a bunch of nicknames for DeSantis? I thought Trump hates DeSantis? I forget the nicknames.. but I’m sure we’ll be hearing them all soon …
Trumps's first picks were all just meant to retire some big IOUs and upset his enemies.....all accomplished.
Some might even still make it through...total bonus.

Were so cooked
He’s also dumb as a rock so why not?
He's not dumb
People can be smart and evil
I think we underestimate them a lot because we think they are dumb for disagreeing with us
When really what they think and do is based on a lot of flawed premises the rest of us don't share, but in their framework it makes sense
They aren't dumb
DUMB
Can you not see that they are winning?
Trump is really dumb and guess what, he’s president.
DUMB
Do you know what asphalt is made from already, right?
If from your point of view public health is irrelevant, and helping corporations monetize everything is a good thing to do, that was a smart move.
I can’t WAIT to see what comes out of his closet with the extra scrutiny.
Also, his nominees suggest he doesn’t know anyone honorable, responsible, reputable.
He wants people like him, amoral and grasping
Some might even still make it through...total bonus.
