After all, he's smart. He doesn't need a whole intelligence department when intelligence just oozes from his hair follicles.

It's getting crazier and crazier - and I have not one bit of respect for anyone who would kneel down and kiss the ring of Comrade Trumpski....

He seems to love this stuff. She'll get nothing, like Mittens and Christie.

not exactly somebody that is qualified for the role. Though, in Trump's eyes, since she's a multi-millionaire, she must be smart.

As long as he makes his money, he just doesn't care. I wonder if he'll ever ask Rosie to take a position in the administration.

Says he's thinking about hiring them, then drops 'em. Lowers their status for his own amusement. The primary intention, though, is to raise the status of whatever unqualified idiot he actually nominates. "At least it's not Carly," they'll say.

That'll draw crowds to the public squares and create jobs for the hawkers and vendors. Mission accomplished.

I would suggest myself.

I am in no way qualified for anything so I'm thinking I should be Undersecretary of Defense or something like that.
