Trump's picks

[TitoFan]

Serious question:

Is Trump trying to piss his opponents/critics off with his picks so far?
Or are his picks really reflective of his wanting to do what's best for the country?
To me, it looks like he's going more for the "in your face" effect rather than picking conscientiously.
Donald..... we know you won already.
Cool it.


Remember... I'm not a Trump hater.
But I was kinda hoping Trump would put on his "Make America Great Again" hat, and start making some picks for the general good.
Granted, the hardline Dems are going to criticize Trump no matter WHO he picks for his Cabinet and other positions.
But Trump himself can do/undo a lot toward easing the incredible tensions and divisions that have been built up during this electoral process.

Now he also wants to set up residence at Trump Tower instead of the White House?
What..... is he just trying to buck the system at every turn?
Is his term going to be marred by one controversy after another?

(sigh)..... It looks like it's gonna be a long 4 years.

OK let me get this straight....Trump hasn't been inaugurated yet but his picks for his Presidential cabinet are "just trying to piss people off"/"in your face"? Trump won the election, he can appoint whomever he likes and even if the Democrats had a problem with it they don't hold enough sway in Congress to do anything about them.

So are you suggesting that Donald Trump should look to embrace the Democrats who got their shit handed to them in the elections? There's a reason (maybe a couple) why the Democrats are no longer in power, perhaps Donald Trump is actually listening to the American people?


I don't like Trump being buddy buddy with Paul Ryan or Mitch McConnell, I think it is above and fucking beyond for Trump to give Mitt Romney the time of day much less consider him for Secretary of State, I think that shows Trump can mend some friendships. Trump also appointed Democrat General Mike Flynn as head of NSA and is reportedly looking at Democrat Michelle Rhee as Secretary of Education.....so again don't allow yourself to fall into the mainstream media narrative that Trump is doing anything wrong or anything poorly....he's not even in office yet, he's IMO doing a fucking fantastic job getting everyone around him in place to start to get to work.


What picks are you upset/unhappy about?

That's the way it normally works with Cabinet picks. They're made before the Presidential inauguration.

Rather than pick on individual picks, I'll reiterate my opinion that, given the state of the nation and its divisiveness, especially in the racial front, I would've thought Trump would've been a little more sensitive than to pick a Jeff Sessions or a Steve Bannon. Instead, Trump seems bent on picking a bunch of kiss-asses, to go along with his managerial style in the private sector. You're absolutely right in that he can choose whomever the hell he wants, as part of his prize for winning the Presidency. But we're supposed to be looking here for the common good, not to thumb our noses at the crying Hillary supporters.

I didn't want Hillary to win, which basically means I wanted Trump to win. But I'm not going to subscribe to the theory that a lot of Trump supporters have that "his shit doesn't stink". That is both foolish and dangerous. For example, please let me hear your defense on Trump's penchant for Twitter, which has been described as a teenager's habit of having to lash out on Twitter whenever someone says something he doesn't like. Hopefully he'll be too busy running the country after he gets inaugurated so he'll trash that shitty habit. This last episode demanding an apology from theater cast members for delivering a message to Pence was totally ridiculous, regardless of whether it was an appropriate message or not. The POTUS shouldn't be engaged in that sort of childish back and forth. Or will you dismiss that as just another Trump hater's criticism?
