Trump nominates new Defense Secretary: Gomer Pyle

He is cleaning house at the Joint Chiefs and replacing them with the casts from McHale's Navy, Hogan's Heroes, F Troop, and Blazing Saddles.

Except for the fact that almost everyone who was associated with those shows is deceased is irrelevant of course. Reports of their demise are Fake News. In addition, assertions that these individuals were fictional individuals has been roundly denied by Kellyanne Conway, who states that she saw Colonel Hogan coming out of a sex shop last week and Corporal Agarn slamming his hat on the ground.

Personally, I like Cleavon Little as Super Soul in Vanishing Point better than his role in Blazing Saddles.

I think that is the scene that most perfectly describes what goes on in the WH these days.

I think he found the paddle balls fascinating and bought several crates of them. That is exactly what Rump would do. He would substitute Rump brand steaks or vodka or something with his name on it for regular pay.
