ANOTHER ONE OF TRUMP'S IDIOTIC AND RECKLESS CABINET NOMINEES IS TANKING

 

First Gaetz, now this drunken wife beater and sexual assaulter, Hegseth.

Trump is a failed human being who chooses failed human beings to lead America. What a national disgrace!


Why did anyone expect anything better from a convicted felon and adjudicated sexual assaulter/rapist and tax fraudster?



Trump mulls alternatives, including DeSantis, as Hegseth nod teeters 



"Hegseth, a former Fox News host and Army veteran, has seen his nomination pushed to the brink in the face of mounting allegations of sexual misconduct, excessive drinking and other controversial behavior in his previous jobs. 

 Republican senators on Tuesday, during Hegseth’s third round of meetings since last month, questioned his chances of making it through the nomination process, with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) calling some of the allegations against him 'very disturbing.' ”

Oh, and there's this one, too:


"Only 3 days after being chosen as Trump’s nominee to lead the DEA, Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister withdrew his name from consideration. 

 Chronister wasn’t the worst Trump nominee, but he definitely had some big red flags on his resume we were already planning to call out. For example, his billionaire father-in-law was pardoned by Trump for his role in a huge corruption scandal."

When Hegseth’s nomination falls, that’s going to be three failed cabinet appointees before we even make it to inauguration.

So much for a well-oiled machine.

New clowns, same circus.

The simple FACT, not an alternative fact, not a Lisa inspired "false fact" but again, the simple fact is this...

Donald Trump nominated two people, specifically Matt Gaetz and now Pete Hegseth, who never passed a background check to work at the highest levels of the US government, have no experience managing large organizations and are unqualified to handle the jobs to which he nominated them.

Gaetz has pulled his name from consideration and even some of the most MAGA folks [Yo Ho, Yo Ho the Mothership for me] agreed with that decision. Hegseth too will soon be discarded to the ash heap.

What can we say about a President elect who can't, or won't nominate qualified people who have been properly vetted and can the garner support of his own party's Senators?

I think it's this... Donald Trump is a danger to the republic and to our safety.

But that doesn't, and won't matter to his supporters. Because many of them are just not serious people.

The wheels are falling off even before the coach pulls out of the gate.

As the nation's of the globe look on and laugh at us. Or, perhaps tremble at the possible effect You Know Who's insanity may have on their own country.

Clowns all around in the trumpublican party of confusion and delusion. More popcorn please.

You make it sound like presidents select cabinet members for their expertise when in fact it is a political payback for most. Trump wants loyalists not people with opinions because he listens to no one. Biden either went with obama appointees or people who checked a box.
"What can we say about a President elect who can't, or won't nominate qualified people" That's politics. Biden has a few who know what they are doing but the majority are party loyalists who have no experience in the area they are heading but they checked a box.
Trump has a few nominees who know what they are doing but the majority are trump loyalists because he is not part of either party.
