The purpose of Trump’s picks are not only to dismantle the government and kowtow to him, but to humiliate senators who would confirm these people while knowing full well how unfit they are.

And to promote the outrage machine. Flood the zone, every day, with disgusting, incompetent, outrageous choices and information. Let them burn it down.
He's just going to bypass the Senate entirely and do recess appointments for the ones who wouldn't make it through. He wants to let them know he'll get his way regardless.
He isn’t smart enough to orchestrate anything. His goals are retribution/revenge. He surrounds himself w/those who tell him he’s great & have same goals. They know his weaknesses & are also lawless & will be in place to achieve those goals. He craves adoration & MAGA satisfies that craving.
Steven, he’s going to be successful bc even most anti drumpf repubs in Senate didn’t convict him @ impeachmt trial when they had the chance. The people he’s going to appoint are all in. There will be no stopping him. He doesn’t care about the law, & the law didn’t care enough about us to stop him.
That’s why I think Republican senators will talk a big game, Johnson will refuse to recess at the time requested and Trump will force a recess. They’ll be outraged that the decision was taken out of their hands. Senators don’t want to vote on these nominees.
It’s also Steve Bannon’s revenge against the administrative state. He’s our Guy Fawkes except the gunpowder isn’t in the Capitol, it’s under each federal agency.

This country needs a crash course on ‘dark triad’ personalities. The chaos is the point. It's weaponized to dismantle trust, exploit division, leave accountability in ruins, distract while the grift takes place, and normalize dysfunction.
I think they're also a distraction to draw attention away from the question of WHY he needs recess appointments. I guarantee it has nothing to do with "getting started on day 1" because no-one ever gets started on Day 1.
