As you well know there are a shit ton of opinions out there, one that I have read is that trump is nominating these people knowing full well they cannot get confirmed, but it shows them he tried, another is that it's about loyalty, not competence, they are designed to test allegiance among the party.
Yep and yep. And even though he’s not campaigning anymore I’ve heard some speculation that he just LOVES the media attention. One talking head referred to him as a troll.
Whatever his motives, I’m more interested in the outcomes myself. IF (by chance) he got Gaetz approved (even temporarily), wouldn’t it be lovely if there were massive resignations from the DOJ in protest (for example)? I’m not holding my breath but wouldn’t mind major backlash from those impacted either (from all the agencies where they feel like they’re getting an incompetent leader). One can only hope.
Trump may be hoping for massive resignations. I think he'd like that very much.
Maybe. But I don’t think he’d look good in the media if that happened (even on Fox). I think the negativity around it might be beyond his tolerance level.
