Predictable. Maybe the Gaetz pick was just in order to make the Pam Bondi selection look halfway sane.
It's not, mind you.
At this point every single move he makes is 100% predictable based on 1980-2000 business marketing strategies.
You mean the business marketing strategies that allowed him to bankrupt multiple companies?
When he bankrupts the country it will bigly beautiful.
Fucking called it.

Wow, you must be able to tell the future if you called that Trump would pick someone horrible. Who could have guessed that? lol
I called that the Pedo was a trap. Because as openly and brazenly corrupt as Pam Bondi is, she is better than Gaetz, and now the senate GOP cant refuse her as easily.
You greatly overestimate Trump's planning skills
Oh he's an idiot.
He has someone smart behind him though, dont assume that his entire team is idiots.
Just like in 2016, he was able to do rallies, albeit this time barely coherent ones, that were tailored to the demographics of each stop.
E.g. Rust belt its all about a reliance on the crowd wanting manufacturing jobs back and not understanding tariffs. Whereas in NYC it was anti-immigrant racism spiced through an insult comic because the rich of NYC hate them in "their city."
Right here is a huge reason dems lost. The narcissism and self-righteousness over their own intellect blinded them to the real threat. Don't underestimate fascism
I don't know anything about her. What's her story?
She was the attorney general of Florida, was Trump's personal attorney during one of his many trials, despite the obvious ethical violations in serving as the personal attorney for a defendant while acting as chief prosecutor in a state...
...and probable Trump side-piece.
She is anti same sex marriage along with all the other repugnant policies of the party.

Yeah, she's basically a perfect Trumpian appointee.
Phew, glad to see she's also a piece of shit. Definitely more appropriate than Gaetz but come on.
Why does that make you happy?
Because I missed the /s
Rest assured, no one aside from his supporters thinks any move he makes is sane
