Oh, politics. Love it or hate it, this election year has been a tough one for many and amazing for many others. I have never been very political, mainly because I saw how crazy my dad would get about it, and it felt like it was all over my head. I just didn’t understand. I still don’t know much, but this year, I know for me, has taught me more about politics than any other political year.
Honestly, I am really enjoying how each side is reacting—the breakdowns of the left and the celebrations of the right. I’m here for it.
So, this got me thinking. With all the political chaos, it’s worth asking: Who are the people in power right now? And who are the individuals who will be shaping our policies and our future?
Some of Trump’s nominees, for example, have been accused of inappropriate behavior or enmeshed in controversies. Others have raised eyebrows for entirely different reasons. But here’s the thing: Understanding who they are—the good, the bad, and everything in between—matters. It’s not just about their titles; it’s about what they bring to the table and how they influence the nation. If we got rid of every member of the Senate, the House, and any politician that raised eyebrows, had domestic violence issues, or was just accused of inappropriate behavior. Well, the House and Senate would almost certainly be empty. Hypocrisy at its finest, people.
So, with that said, let's discuss Trump's Nominees and who is in those positions now.
