If Mattis, McMaster and the other high-ranking goofballs make their return we'll know. I want to give Trump and his advisors the benefit of the doubt at this point. His election victory shows that he understands the game. My hope is that there's a strategy involved with these nominations given that the nomination process with appointments like Kennedy and Gabbard is going to be difficult. There are too many RINOs and DNC allies in congress whose only interest is self-preservation and blocking Trump's efforts.

I agree 100%. I am trying to stay positive and not get all worked up at this point. As Jeff likes to say Trump is playing 4D chess. Let’s see what happens. He’s not stupid. He knows how people feel and o don’t think he’s going to appoint a bunch of pharma shills. Bobby has his ear and the transition team all has input into who might get nominated.

"He’s not stupid."

Then he must be evil. Or maybe little of both.

I'm shocked at how tone deaf the man is when it comes to ideology.

Trump has a lot of talents but on a lot of things he is not the sharpest tool in the shed. He really has no ideology of his own, just pragmatism.
