Our only hope is that they are truly as dumb as they seem.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

MODERATORS
Extremely stupid people are capable of massive damage. Especially with a congress so willing to enable them. They will Overlook legality and morality, bending over backwards to please him and his appointees.
Might be he did that on purpose... Either to cause them to fail, or do he can martial law shit when period revolt because it's all fucked or...
He's not the one making the plans
Former President Trump said the “biggest mistake” of his presidency was picking “bad, disloyal people” to join his administration.
(source)
Yup. This time his biggest mistake will be picking incompetent people. But I'm sure neither he nor his braindead cronies will understand that.
As far as Trump is personally concerned, his only true mistake in his last term was picking competent people who wouldn't bow to his every command when it came time to coup himself into staying in power. He doesn't give a shit about running the country. He only needs to protect himself and his own.
Maybe a bright side; filling the executive with inept sycophants might slow down project 2025. The reason he struggled to achieve a lot of his bullshit the last time was they didn't have skilled people to navigate the legal system.
Of course, that legal system also made him a king so...all they have to do is make him say whatever they want to do. But maybe, hopefully, they'll spend a lot of time fighting amongst themselves.
Calling RFK's position "an environmental role" is total bullshit. It's to head the Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees everything in government related to healthcare.
That's right, we're likely getting a true believer in such classics as vaccines cause autism and HIV doesn't lead to AIDS, as the Healthcare Boss.
cause its about keeping power, and not so much about keeping the lights on for the rest of the people.
Honest question......what if someone PRETENDED to be loyal? Then passed a bunch of bills, like help for homeless, easier immigration, gun control laws, legalized abortion, and then convinced trump they were HIS ideas, so he loves them.
The anti-Sinema
No, they could like movies.
It would be easier the believe one of them actually earned the position.
Dude clearly ran around with his scalp scar on fire during COVID expecting nothing major would pop up during his presidency.
It was chaos then it'll be fucking chaos now.

They're nothing more then yes men, I hope they mess up so hard that he resigns in four years
