CLEVELAND, Ohio — President-elect Donald Trump’s first few cabinet picks, Susie Wiles as Chief of Staff, Marco Rubio as Secretary of State and Rep. Elise Stefanik as U.N Ambassador, were normal. Then turned nuts, which is normal for Trump and normal as reelecting a felon president. Matt-Mug Shot-Gaetz was picked to be U.S. Attorney General. Anti-Vaxer, Conspiracy Quack Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was picked to be Health and Human Services Secretary with a dead brain worm still under his tin foil hat. Tulsi Gabbard, former U.S. Rep turned Putin and Assad propagandist was picked to be Director of National Intelligence.

Despised by both Republicans and Democrats in the House and Senate, Gaetz is the least likely in Trump’s rouges gallery of nominees to be confirmed. It’s been speculated that his nomination may have just been ruse to stop a damning House Ethics Committee report on him being released.
Upon being nominated, Gaetz swiftly resigned from the House. Normally, the House does not release ethics reports on former members, but it has happened at least twice. Also, Gaetz just resigned from the current sitting Congress. He was reelected to the incoming Congress and can be sworn into that in 2025.
Gaetz had been investigated by the Department of Justice he’s now been nominated to lead for sex trafficking. He’s been accused of having sex with an underaged girl. Gaetz has denied the accusation, yet more than one Republican House member said it was customary for Gaetz to scroll thru his phone on the House floor showing them nude photos of his claimed sexual conquests.
The U.S. Attorney General nominee is an actual attorney, but has practiced little privately, has never been a prosecutor and has no known trial experience.
Who’s the next pick for Trump? The ghost of Richard Nixon for Deputy Secretary of State or Deputy Chief of Staff or just Deputy President?
