HUD analog.

petehausler.bsky.social•20 days ago

Dont forget the two black men he’s asked to run HUD in his two terms. Both whose field of expertise and background had nothing to do with housing and development.

But being black, they are “urban.”

terrydresbach.bsky.social•20 days ago

“Black Job”

formergregsamsa.bsky.social•20 days ago

I'd wager that Trump likes theatre more than Grennell, tbh, and Grennell just nods and smiles when Trump breaks out the Evita cast album.

jocolorado.bsky.social•20 days ago

Same

thetomfrank.bsky.social•20 days ago

I can’t wait to see the upcoming performance of “Springtime For Hitler!”

jandcochran.bsky.social•20 days ago

At Trumps direction, just gonna be nonstop Cats, Phantom, West Side Story, Oklahoma, Chicago and Les Mis

daphnelawless.com•20 days ago

You forgot Evita

alicemercer.bsky.social•20 days ago

I like the irony of that

haveyouanywool.bsky.social•20 days ago

But NOT Hamilton!

alicemercer.bsky.social•20 days ago

1776? The Crucible?

alicemercer.bsky.social•20 days ago

Haha

darkwebmallcop.bsky.social•20 days ago

I could live with this but I draw the line at “Kennedy Center Honoree Kid Rock”

tbapple.bsky.social•20 days ago

The Kennedy Center presents “Caligula” is going to be 🔥

karenmhj.bsky.social•20 days ago

Staring Scott Baio, Kevin sorbo, Jon Voight, and roseann barr

ashleyreed.bsky.social•20 days ago

Identity politics=bad, stereotype politics=good

marymargaret45.bsky.social•20 days ago

Women were ruled out A gay man would fit his stereotype of an arts related man.
Never attended a performance at the Kennedy Center.

blandphilosophy.bsky.social•20 days ago

1000% it

wendywineberg.bsky.social•20 days ago

And the reason both his Secretaries of Urban Housing & Development were both black…

statsboyandi.bsky.social•20 days ago

I mean you’re not wrong

jerrybrennan.bsky.social•20 days ago

He really is not a complicated man in any way, shape, or form.

vax-o-licious.bsky.social•20 days ago

Is he wrong?

Just kidding.

jevinx.bsky.social•20 days ago

Trumper Parents with gay children will say, “Not sure I understand the issue…If he does not discriminate against guys in his appointments, what is the problem?” eg. Bessent and Grennell

goofrider.bsky.social•20 days ago

Fine by me. Better than letting him anywhere near natsec or foreign policy

tomablogger.bsky.social•20 days ago

It's exactly that. Trump has no fundamental knowledge of other people, he only knows himself. Teacher-ladies get Education, Blacks get HUD, gays get the Kennedy Center.

onbluskysku.bsky.social•20 days ago

Wait he did what oh my god

shinecast.bsky.social•20 days ago

I am serious when I say I thought the same thing.

youngocato.bsky.social•20 days ago

We will know for sure if Caitlyn Jenner is also named to the board by him.

ratingbook.bsky.social•20 days ago

Like the nation he picked for his ex almost daughter in law to be Ambassador. Grease. From the hair product from ALL of those ex's.

ucchoi01.bsky.social•20 days ago

i don’t… but then, i’m always the exception. 🤭

amycoplan.bsky.social•20 days ago

Read this piece from last May on him, and there is zero mention of any special interest in or knowledge of the arts….

amycoplan.bsky.social•20 days ago

davdewitt.bsky.social•20 days ago

It certainly wasn’t because of his arts background.

ozmodiar.bsky.social•20 days ago

I am suspicious that Melania is going to end up involved in this somehow. Like she has always wanted to produce or something

bcvet.bsky.social•20 days ago

Lara will finally have a venue for her concerts.

auntieem.bsky.social•20 days ago

Absolutely.

smorgas.bsky.social•20 days ago

Between Grennell, Scott Bessent, and the Other Boer, the truly heinous wing of gay white manhood is enjoying its biggest day in the sun in quite some time

gretchelkins.bsky.social•20 days ago

Completely agree.

joshuabhoe.bsky.social•20 days ago

100%

janecoaston.bsky.social•20 days ago

Like he wants Jewish people to handle money and he wants gay people to run a theater, he is the most textual person to ever live

riwoche.bsky.social•20 days ago

In his official capacity as allegorical figure Archie Bunker from Queens whose brain remains frozen on August 8, 1974, your analysis is 100% correct.

rcmasse.bsky.social•20 days ago

Duffy was on Road Rules = DOT
Hegseth was in the army = DOD

deadseriousrick.bsky.social•20 days ago

Miller is… I don't know, just look at the guy obviously he's going to get off on rounding up immigrants and putting them in camps.

meh333.bsky.social•19 days ago

Central casting.

vegavannah.bsky.social•20 days ago

Black guy for HUD because “Urban.”

ammartin.bsky.social•20 days ago

Tulsi, his favorite telegenic foreign asset, for DNI

blueskyeddie.bsky.social•20 days ago

Scott Turner is Black = HUD

caicecreamlover.bsky.social•17 days ago

Well it does have the word “urban” in it so he is consistant. Consistantly a jerk that is.

thebitterknitter.bsky.social•20 days ago

See also Ben Carson.

zgoldberg.bsky.social•20 days ago

Only black cabinet member leads HUD.

dingodog19.bsky.social•20 days ago

And generals should be squat strong bullet-headed guys with flattop haircuts

iamnotlarry.bsky.social•20 days ago

It’s why he always nominates a black guy for HUD.

nicholasgrossman.bsky.social•20 days ago

The only Black person in the Cabinet runs the department with “urban” in the name.

onbluskysku.bsky.social•20 days ago

This is unfortunately a longer thing going back to the FHA being a huge civil rights issue and both parties have done it kinda shamelessly

tyschalter.com•20 days ago

yeah when he gave ben carson hud the first time around, it was like, uhh

lucilleiii.bsky.social•20 days ago

A surgeon in charge of housing. Ridiculous

windypundit.com•20 days ago

He's got a pasty-faced white guy with poor interpersonal skills running his IT operation...

moman.bsky.social•20 days ago

And women to run the Department of Education. Why else would you name Linda McMahon to run the DoE

lucykpick.bsky.social•20 days ago

At least he didn’t give it to Project Veritas James O’Keefe who we all know is dying to star in an Oklahoma! revival.

fat-teabskysocial.bsky.social•20 days ago

i have a similar theory with him giving HUD to ben carson.

mister-sterling.bsky.social•20 days ago

Checks out. Funny thing is, The KC is like the Federal version of Lincoln Center. It's programming is not as 'musical theater' gay as Trump assumes. Because he's never accepted an invitation to see anything there. There's a damn presidential box, and the SOB is a perpetual no-show.
