TR 674 - Communist China Tries to Infiltrate the Trump Administration

That didn’t take long.

Can you imagine being the President of the United States?

I can’t.

Furthermore, I cannot imagine what it must feel like those first few critical weeks, or what it would be like to have to pick a team of people whom you must trust to make major decisions that will impact the lives of millions of people.

How many people do you know that you could trust like that?

There are approximately 25 cabinet positions that each president needs to fill, with each pick having to withstand public scrutiny, congressional hearings, and senate confirmations, per Article II, Section 2, Clause 1, of the Constitution.

I dare say that is not an easy job to do—the picking of people.

In the DC swamp, the number of parasites swirling around whispering poison into politicians’ ears is unimaginable. Like a bad game of telephone, the subtle suggestion that so-and-so is a qualified and trustworthy candidate quickly makes the rounds. Lifetime swampers and ambitious staffers are all vying for their spot, trying to elbow their way up to the table of power. Deceit and treachery abound.

Who do you trust in that situation?

Sure, vet and verify, but if you really think about it, even the most careful selection process could still churn up a bad apple or two, right? Of course.

I’m just trying to lay some groundwork here, to emphasize the fact that nobody is perfect and that in such a complex and fast moving environment, mistakes get made.

And so it was, I saw this headline:

Trump's Labor Secretary Pick Is a Commie Fox in the MAGA Henhouse

Says Stephen Kruiser of PJ Media:

“Trump’s nominee to be the next Secretary of Labor is Lori Chavez-DeRemer, one of the worst Republican nominees for a Cabinet position in recent memory. Seriously, this was a phenomenally bone-headed choice by Trump; it's a serious buzzkill for those of us who have been enjoying the MAGA high since January 20.”

After calling out Lori ‘Hugo’ Chavez-DeRemer for her Big Labor bias, commie proclivities, ties to Planned Parenthood, and other MAGA transgressions, Kruiser tells apologists what he really thinks:

“If you’re still in the "let Trump cook" camp, you should grab a bib and a plate and get ready for the steaming piles of commie horse manure that you’re going to be served if Lori Hugo Chavez-DeRemer makes it into President Trump’s Cabinet.”

(Emphasis mine… kudos for the creative writing.)

Personally, I’m not that invested in this pick, and as much as it pains me to say it, I do still “trust the process”—at least a little bit. I trust that Trump’s a smart guy, that he’s surrounded himself with smart people, for the most part, and that he’ll make a smart decision here, whether I agree with it or not.

It’s not that I don’t think he’s capable of making a mistake, or that his every decision is above reproach, or that I think he’s playing 4D chess, or any other form of starry-eyed, star-struck delusions—it’s just that I believe he’s willing to listen, learn, and adjust accordingly, as any good leader does.

He’s also willing to stand his ground, which is another critical leadership quality.

Ultimately, it’s not my decision to make. I’m not too sure what to think about the decision that has been made, but honestly I don’t give a damn. I’m not looking for a gripe, and I’m not going to waste another breath on it.

This petty stuff will work itself out.
