President-Elect Trump's cabinet

You wonder about Vivek’s incentives. Is he better off proposing some cuts that have a chance of passing? Or does he double down on his cutting of 75% of the federal workforce, write a DOA report, but position himself as the serious spending cut guy for 2028?
I know where I’d place my bet.

Neither.
I think you're going to see a few things:
- 20%- 25% reduction in Federal employees.
- A mandate that agencies do not go outside of Congressional law, piggybacking rules that Congress did not intend.
- A higher emphasis on technology.
- A big cut in Federal aid to states, along with the cessation of unfunded mandates. Think Dept of Ed, for one.
- Some tax policy changes.

Steve Miller made a pretty astute and funny comment.
I find it amusing that there are two people in charge of the Department of Government Efficiency.
And what’s their combined salary?

I guess something can be astute, funny, and also completely meaningless

If the electorate is in the mood to re-elect Maga in 2028, I see no point in spending his political capital losing to Vance in a primary. He'd be well positioned for a 2036 run at best.

Trump’s a performance artist. Seems like he’s picking other performance artists for his cabinet now - literal ones like editorial news hosts and guys that wear half a tub of hair gel like Gaetz.

Trump just announced in a speech...
Doug Burgum - Interior.

"Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08
The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

You know what’s really crazy?
RFK Jr at HHS, Matt Gaetz as Attorney General, and it’s still better than the alternative last week…
