If I said I approved of Trump's picks for his cabinet, I would be lying. I think he's made a lot of bad picks - picks that will damage the country. Pete Hegseth will damage our military, Lee Zeldin with damage our environment. Linda McMahon will damage our education system. Howard Lutnick is a tariff supporter, which will increase inflation. Robert Kennedy, Jr. will do harm to this nation'a health. And Marco Rubio will happily go along with Trump's denigration of our allies and kowtowing to dictators.
Having said that, I do believe any president has the right to make his own nominations - even a narcissistic right-wing radical. And he has the right to pick nominees who agree with him.
But Trump has made two picks that are unacceptable even to many right-wingers - Matt Gaetz and Tulsi Gabbard. Note in the image above that The New York Post (owned by Rupert Murdoch who also owns Fox News) is opposed to both of these picks.
Gaetz is a known sex abuser (including under-age girls) with the morals of an alley cat. He is far more interested in retribution (for both Trump and himself) than in justice. It would be a national embarrassment to install him as Attorney General.
Gabbard is well known for being a Russian sympathizer and for passing on Russian propaganda. The whole world should shudder at the thought of her heading the U.S. intelligence network.
The Senate has an advice and consent responsibility to approve or disapprove of presidential picks. They should deny these two picks!
It will not hurt Trump to deny him these two picks. He will just nominate others with his political bent, and they will be approved. But hopefully, they will not be immoral sex abusers or a danger to our intelligence agencies.
