Boarder Czar = Thomas Homan – good pick, he may arrest or slap congressman and governors if they get in his way – Alpha Dog

Stephen Miller – Policy guy – solid pick, weird dude but seems to know Policy

UN Ambassador – Stefanik – seems like good pick, surprised she is leaving legislature, but will be strong for Israel and be very combative. Want leave like Hayley, she’ll be there all 4 years

Chief of Staff – Wiles (Pat Summeral’s daughter). Seems like a good gatekeeper, I preferred former Speaker of House McCarthy but she seems ok

Overall would say he is off to a good start. Lets see where he lands with AG, that could be interesting

AG, FBI and CIA are really important picks.............

Is Stefanik contingent on how house goes ? Or is that a done deal ? Can’t screw that up

Stefanik wouldn't be confirmed until after the new Congress is seated.
She would be replaced by a special election in her district in NY.
She just won re-election by 25% (62%-37%).
Stefanik is considered the 3rd or 4th most powerful member of Congress.

Liberal media all over Homan being an evil deporter; sounds great. It is time, at any cost, to stop illegal entry into this nation .

Don't like the law, work across the aisle to change the law. Trump isn't going to ignore the current immigration laws so if you're worried about abuela, stop posturing and start working.

He just needs to follow Sections 1325 and 1326 of Chapter 8 of U.S. Code like Obama did to deport thousands so he could look good for reelection.

Not sure about Noem’s qualifications to be over Homeland Security. But, she’s seems to be focused and a good governor so at least she will lead with conviction.
Miller is a little odd but he’s a no BS tell it like it is and he’ll be a good voice in Trumps ear to at least give him options that might not be politically popular.
AG is the one I’m waiting on. I don’t think Trump will dip into the Senate again since we have a majority but Ted Cruz would be perfect.

The mark of a good staff will be you don’t hear shit from them. Get the hell out of the way and let the private sector work. With the exception of Border dude. He needs to make waves.

Treasury secretary and whoever is in the role of making government more efficient and less costly…..those are the roles that will move the needle.

I think Rubio was a great call. Trump’s Hispanic voters will love him and he can smooth things over with Mexico and Central America as the deportations begin.

I wonder how many of his cabinet will be suddenly deemed losers or idiots before the end of their first year and replaced.

80% … although this time around, his insults will be well founded. Each is uniquely unqualified for the position they have been given, with the possible exception of Rubio. He just named a talking head from Fox News as Secretary of Defense. The idea that Noem is being put in charge of Homeland Security should terrify all of us. She took 12 years to complete her online college degree, has zero experience in Federal Government.

Rubio is a solid SoS pick. I’m not sold on Kristi Noem as DHS Secretary mainly because I’m not sure what her qualifications are for that job. I’d like to see Burgum as Interior Secretary.

Noem is a head scratcher but she infinitely better than Mayorkas. She can go a long way just by getting the right leadership at FEMA and Secret Service. Plus she’s a Trump loyalist and won’t be a source of drama like 2016.

Burgum is a natural at the Interior. Democrats panic when its run by someone from a western state.

The bar is set very low after the cluster of the Biden administration. No DEI hires.

There is nothing on her resume to suggest that she should even be considered for this post - same as Hegseth, who has probably never set foot inside the Pentagon and is perhaps best known for his history of adultery.

We will be less safe.

If she fails at the job then Trump should let her go. That is something that Biden rarely did because he was in a stupor.

He will be able to smooth things over with Mexico and Central America because his grandparents were from Cuba … ? Are you seriously suggesting that or just kidding around?

Well, Hegseth has degrees from Princeton and Harvard, served at Guantanamo Bay, Iraq and Afghanistan, worked at a think tank, ran 2 vet charities, advised DJT on military issues in his first term, has worked as a counterinsurgency instructor and of course has worked as a talking head on Fox which means he has good communication skills. He seems to be exponentially more qualified to serve as Sec Def than Kamala and Tiananmen Tim were for the positions they pursued.
