Donald Trump has appointed Justin Caporale, the man credited with some of his most eye-catching campaign gambits on the path to his second presidential election victory, to a White House role, signalling that high-profile publicity stunts are likely to be a key feature of his second presidential term.

Posting on his Truth Social platform, the president-elect said Caparole would assume the role of executive producer for “major events and public appearances” after he returns to the Oval Office on 20 January.

He is currently working on Trump’s inauguration appearances.

The appointment rewards Caporale, a former aide to Trump’s wife, Melania, for his work in devising some of the incoming president’s most successful – and controversial – appearances on the campaign trail.

I hope someone is around to write the history of this incredible clique of incompetents. And that people are still allowed to read... books!

Like they did with Reagan

3. If this book comes out?

You can be sure it will never be published or it will be on the black market cause it is illegal to have or read a book with truth in it!

2. executive producer for "major events and public appearances"

So I presume he's the guy who arranged the "assassination attempts"?

2024 will be the year when presidential policy, competence, intelligence and "the issues" took a permanent backseat to showmanship, spectacle and entertainment value... We can no longer proclaim ourselves to be a serious player on the world stage aside from our military might and our ravenous appetite for buying consumer goods...
