So far, he's chosen family, friends and those he knows, especially from television, rather than those who are qualified to lead these essential government departments - a frightening recipe for disaster.

Djt said,...

" I want my generals to be as loyal to me - as Hitler's generals were loyal to him."

Oh jeez,... it sounds like djt wants coup d'etat 2.0, so he can really show the world his alpha male mettle.

Djt has blown through all the guardrails. We are on our own. November of 2026 is our next chance to right this sinking ship of American Democracy. Hopefully NGOs will drag their asses into court everytime they step out of line.
