Remember when Trump talked about taking on Wall Street and taxing the rich?

Pepperidge Farms remembers but apparently not the electorate.

Remember when Trump talked about taking on Wall Street and taxing the rich?

Yup

Pepperidge Farms remembers but apparently not the electorate.

We do, that’s why we elected him. The left resist, the more it’s apparently clear why.

Draining the swamp by adding more alligators.

But someone will surely come along soon and say “Great pick! He may be a Wall Street exec but he’s an America First man.”

What is it with this obsession with tariffs? Who does he think foots the bill for them anyway? Last time he did it, it was the American farmers who were hurt by it. He ended up having to pay practically all of the profits made by tariffs to those farmers as bailouts for the revenue losses they incurred. Make no mistake, this time it may be more than the farmers who are hurt by his policies (or concepts of policies).

What's more worrisome for me, is that since all three branches are controlled by the GOP, the likelihood of Trump's nominees getting approved go way up. Yes, the Senate still has to approve, but do you really think anyone of them would have the guts to stand out and stand up to him? They know that if they do, they put their whole political career in jeopardy. Trump has proven to hold grudges and he and his closest allies will make sure any dissenters will be put in their place. So, as unqualified and as controversial as his nominees are, they will most likely be confirmed.

Draining the swamp by adding more alligators.

On the contrary.

If the Dems hate and complain about them, then it’s a great pic. If they agree, Trump should dump them and fast!

Draining the swamp by adding more alligators.

On the contrary.

How so?

What's more worrisome for me, is that since all three branches are controlled by the GOP, the likelihood of Trump's nominees getting approved go way up.

Yes, and that’s a good thing, we need to go back to traditional values and away from the nutty progressive policies that the nation has vehemently rejected and repudiated.

Ask that about the Dems and you will get your answer

They know that if they do, they put their whole political career in jeopardy.

No, because that is why they won it all.

Trump has proven to hold grudges

With valid and justified reason

and he and his closest allies will make sure any dissenters will be put in their place.

Absolutely

So, as unqualified and as controversial as his nominees are, they will most likely be confirmed.

Again, if the left disapproves of them then they are excellent picks.

How so?

Because, he's about to drain the establishment with the swamp and gaotors that make up the entire Democrat party and the swamp.

Trump tried to drain the swamp during his first term. Trump is making an administration by billionaires for billionaires and will reduce their tax rates.

Trump will drain the swamp and fill the sewer.

Very true.

Trump is making an administration by billionaires for billionaires and will reduce their tax rates.

Which is great.

Wealthy? Want to join the Trump administration? There’s a tax break for you.

Thank God.

Trump will drain the swamp and fill the sewer.

Yes, with all the lib and RINO establishment swamp rats

Yes, and that’s a good thing, we need to go back to traditional values and away from the nutty progressive policies that the nation has vehemently rejected and repudiated.

I'm sorry, but I wouldn't call adultery, incest, treating women as disposable objects rather than people, nepotism, and the practice of pedophiles as so-called "traditional values". Trump and his choices of nominees have shown that he really doesn't care for treating all people as humans.

treating women as disposable objects rather than people

McMahon nominated for education secretary

How so?

Because, he's about to drain the establishment with the swamp and gaotors that make up the entire Democrat party and the swamp.

What happens to the Wall Street gaotors?

Trump's cabinet nominees resemble a cold open skit on Saturday Night Live.

A parade of grotesques- loyalists only. Experience, ability- unwanted and unsought.

The trolling of the country continues. When the absolute lack of experience causes the US to go into freefall, the rest of the world is going to be wetting their collective pants laughing.

The trolling of the country continues. When the absolute lack of experience causes the US to go into freefall, the rest of the world is going to be wetting their collective pants laughing.

Then they will be wetting their pants in fear as there is no one to replace the US that isn't a bloodthirsty dictatorship.

And the fools who are working class American's trust a wealthy person to run the US, thinking their lives will improve while the same old situation keeps happening. Trump only looks out for benefits of the wealthy. The GOP has been doing this forever, and MAGA literally kept making sure their lives get worse just to get back at the Libs and anyone who doesn't agree with their cult.

In what world history, has the wealthy ever decided to give up making hundreds of millions or billions to keep the rest of societal classes who are middle class and lower from being destroyed? How to vote against you own well being.

Trump is only hiring out of touch rich people to run the country into the ground... for their GREED. A good cabinet consists of real people who have had to live with the problems that average Americans experience in order to know how to support and resolve the same problems they are hired to deal with.

Remember a long time ago I said, "I got mines, to hell with everyone else..." mentality is the way of the GOP. This is the embodiment of it in real time.

They will keep doing this until the economy and USD tanks so hard it will never recover. Only when money becomes useless, will they come to the realization of how much chaos and destruction their greed has created. Money is their GOD, and GREED is their religion.
