Trump for president

[HairOfTheDog]

This is interesting.


Mitt Romney, probably the most ardent and vocal never-Trump Republican, congratulated Trump on his victory several days ago. Now, it's being reported that Mitt Romney is interested and being considered for Secretary of State. I actually think Romney has the right balance of toughness and diplomacy to make a good candidate, on the surface (way better than Giuliani or Gingrich, and probably much more likely to be approved by the Senate than Giuliani).


Retired Lieutenant General Michael Flynn is reportedly Trump's choice of National Security Adviser. That bothers me; he's full of shit and another vindictive frother like Giuliani, in my opinion. I've watched the man scream flat out lies to the American people during the campaign. And, I considered it bottom-of-the-barrel character-wise when he tweeted out to his millions of followers a blatantly false story about Hillary Clinton and pedophilia (published by one of the many obviously fake newz websites) shortly before election day. Flynn has been strategizing with Russia and appearing on Russia's state tv for some time.

But, Flynn (who disagreed sharply with President Obama) was one of the first on board with Trump and they're reportedly tight now. So, it's looking like this purveyor of misinformation (a trait he shares with Trump) will be officially advising our President about our nation's security. I think Trump probably would have nominated Flynn for Sec of Defense, but there's no way in hell Flynn could pass Senate confirmation for a cabinet position, thankfully.
