Trump is assembling his clown car of a cabinet and it’s going every bit as well as you’d expect – 26 top reactions
With around two months until he takes office, Donald Trump has been very busy hand-picking the team who will help him run the country, and it’s a surprising mixture of moderates and noted experts in their relevant fields.
Just kidding – he’s picking his mates and the most overt ass-kissers, regardless of whether they have any useful experience or any morals visible to the naked eye.

Some old ‘favourites’ you may recognise from the start of the franchise, ‘President Trump: Clown in the White House’, include
Stephen Miller – Secretary of State for Avoiding Garlic, Sunlight and Pointy sticks – and Tom Homan, Border Czar – one of the architects of the Muslim ban and a key player in the whole ‘kids in cages’ episode. He seems fun.
Good luck to "Latinos for Trump"….this is the policy you voted for that Stephen Miller will now be in charge of https://t.co/MvhWFsz7rS pic.twitter.com/4ZDiNxMluA

Cecilia Vega asks: “Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without separating families?”

He even persuaded Trump to let him advertise his cryptocurrency via the new department’s name.
Elon Musk making Trump make a new dept just so he can use the acronym “DOGE” is the most aggressively Elon thing he could do & it proves he’s the biggest fucking loser to walk the planet.
He’s Caleb Hearon asking Cooper abt his cologne levels of cringe, but he never grew up. https://t.co/mSvxVm3w9A

Matt Gaetz, previously investigated for sex-trafficking by the House Ethics Committee, will be the Attorney General.
BREAKING: John Bolton, who served in every Republican WH administration since Reagan, says today is not a good day and calls Trump picking Matt Gaetz as Attorney General the "worst cabinet pick in American history."

Democrats and more moderate Republicans are watching proceedings with a sense of foreboding.
MAJOR BREAKING NEWS:
In an absolutely stunning and disqualifying resurfaced clip, Trump’s selection for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said America “should not have women in combat roles.”

Meet Michael Waltz, reported to be Trump's national security adviser pick. He's not just a typical Republican on the Middle East — he supported re-invading Afghanistan and wants American boots on the ground in Ukraine.https://t.co/vIlFVvHRY1

So the richest man in the world spent $130 million to elect Donald Trump.
Now he's being put in charge of a "government efficiency" agency while controlling corporations with billions in government contracts that are also under federal investigations.
See how this works?

Let me get this straight: A Fox anchor, OnlyFans creator, climate denier, tech company owner, and bad businessmen will run our government & be in charge of our lives & rights. This is what America gets by voting for Trump. We are so screwed.
