Starting off his administration with the perfect metaphor.
Donald Trump will be indoors for the inauguration with his billionaire pals. His core supporters will be left outside in the cold.

Think about that.

Ah yes, @politico.com. Who could forget the long and illustrious list of Defense Secretaries who went on to become President?

Ron DeSantis’ political future looked bleak a year ago. Not anymore.
The governor is being considered to lead the Department of Defense. It may be a strong opportunity to keep himself in the limelight for a 2028 presidential run.

It should be emphasized just how obscene the Gaetz nom is. He's unqualified, unfit, & was recently investigated for sex trafficking. He faces accusations of paying for sex & sexual misconduct w/ a minor. That there's even a chance he gets confirmed as the top law enforcement official is shameful.

“They’re privately hoping Trump doesn’t make them walk the plank.”

OR — hear me out here — they could just find a backbone and announce they won’t vote to confirm.
