Welcome to Trump 2.0!
Trump has been moving quickly announcing his picks to occupy the top spots. It’s very clear that unlike Trump 1.0 in 2016 who was willing to “play ball” with the neocons and the administrative state, only to be backstabbed by them; Trump 2.0 is coming in guns’a’blazin.
Let’s start with some big ones not requiring any senate confirmation.
Susan Wiles - Chief of Staff
Belying those who said Trump somehow “discriminates against women” despite a long track record of giving competent women top spots throughout his career, he chose his campaign manager, Susie Wiles to be his Chief of Staff. Susie ran a flawless, super well organized and well-coordinated campaign and is universally hailed. A bit of a surprise pick, but obvious in retrospect.
She’s the daughter of Pat Summerall, a former football player and sportscaster, and is a longtime political inside player.
Thomas Homan - Border Czar
In a big FU to Kamala, who was given the title “Border Czar” by Biden, Tom Homan will play that role effectively in Trump’s administration.
Homan began his career as a police officer in New York, then joined the U.S. Border Patrol in 1984. Over the years, he progressed through various roles within immigration enforcement, including as a special agent with the Immigration and Naturalization Service and later with ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement). He served as the Acting Director of ICE under the first Trump administration. More recently he’s been a frequent contributor on Fox News and a big critic of the Biden administration’s failures with illegal immigration. There’s some GREAT clips of him eviscerating democrats (especially AOC) during hearings 😂.
Trump said Homan would be in charge of the nation's borders, including the southern and northern borders, maritime, and aviation security. Homan would also be responsible for overseeing the deportation of illegal aliens back to their countries of origin.
Homan is a tough bastard who will get the job done.
He said his first priority would be to establish control of the borders and stem the tide of illegals. Next he will prioritize deporting illegals who have committed crimes, and then illegals who have received a court order to be deported. That will likely keep him busy the entire term.
It looks like he’ll somehow coordinate and oversee various departments to get the job done.
This pick signals Trump is absolutely serious about illegal immigration.
Michael Waltz - National Security Advisor
This was a bit of a controversial pick amongst Trump supporters, with many fearing he may be a neocon Warhawk. He is toughest on China and Iran, very pro Israel, and seems to be against further US involvement in Ukraine, which aligns with Trump.
He was just elected to his third term in the house from Florida. He was a special forces Green Beret and served in many tours overseas.
The Nat Sec Advisor (NSA) is a very powerful position. He serves as a principal advisor to the President on national security issues, which includes defense, foreign policy, intelligence, and homeland security. The NSA provides the President with analysis, insights, and recommendations to help shape U.S. policy.
The NSA plays a crucial role in coordinating national security policy across various government agencies. This involves chairing the National Security Council (NSC) or being a key participant in its meetings; Working with other high-level officials like the Secretaries of State, Defense, and Homeland Security to ensure that policies are consistent and effectively implemented; Overseeing the development of national security strategies, which might include counter-terrorism efforts, cyber security policies, nuclear strategy, and responses to global threats.
The NSA often briefs the President on intelligence matters, providing daily or regular updates on global situations, threats, and opportunities. This role involves interpreting intelligence provided by agencies like the CIA, NSA, and DIA. During national or international crises, the NSA is involved in real-time decision-making, helping to manage the crisis by providing options, coordinating inter-agency responses, and advising on diplomatic, military, or economic responses.
Elon Musk & Vivek Ramaswamy - co-leaders of Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)
These two need no introduction. Elon is the richest man alive and created many companies including Zip2, PayPal, SpaceX, Tesla, OpenAI, Neuralink, Boring Company, Xai, and he bought Twitter, cutting the staff by 80%, making it better and preserving free speech for the world. Vivek is an entrepreneur in the pharmaceutical space and made a run for president for 2024.
Together they will lead an organization that will make recommendations to dramatically reduce the size of government and eliminate redundant agencies and regulations that hamper growth and investment.
This will be VERY significant and has the permanent bureaucratic state running scared (it’s why Washington DC voted 95% against Trump 😂).
Moving on to the appointments requiring senate confirmation…
Marco Rubio - Secretary of State
Another pick that did not find favour amongst Trump supporters. He’s suspected of being a neocon deep stater. Many of the same concerns as with Michael Waltz.
He’s a senator from Florida currently.
Matt Gaetz - Attorney General
This is the pick that has lit everybody’s hair on fire.
Gaetz is a Florida congressman who has been the most outspoken critic of the weaponization of the judicial system under Biden.
The deep state went after him in various ways with allegations that have proven to have been completely bogus.
If Gaetz gets in, expect fireworks with many firings of disloyal deep staters and prosecutions of Democrats who have used illegal means to target Republicans.
It’s unlikely he will be confirmed in the Senate as he has many enemies in Congress, but Trump is serious about this pick and with the cooperation of the House he can force a Senate recess and make a recess appointment of Gaetz if pushed to it.
Pete Hegseth - Secretary of Defense
This one is setting the deep state’s military industrial complex’s hair on fire.
Hegseth is a total hunk! 🤩 🥵😍
He served in the Army National Guard with deployments to Guantanamo Bay, Iraq, and Afghanistan. He has been awarded two Bronze Stars and a Combat Infantryman Badge for his service. He joined Fox News in 2014 as a contributor and has since become a prominent conservative commentator co-hosting "Fox & Friends Weekend" from 2017 until now. He’s been especially known for his outspoken views, particularly against what he describes as "woke" policies in the military.
He’s a very smart guy. He graduated from Princeton University with a degree in politics in 2003 and later obtained a Master of Public Policy from Harvard. He’s authored several books, including "The War on Warriors"

The top Political generals are all shitting themselves, as are the profiteering war companies who provide outdated equipment at ridiculous prices.
The deep state will stop at nothing to smear this guy.
Amazing pick.
Kristi Noem - Director of Homeland Security
Kristi was the very successful conservative governor of South Dakota, resisting lockdowns, trans nonsense, and giving tax cuts. She was also in the State legislature and in Congress.
DHS was established in response to the September 11 attacks. Its primary roles include protecting the U.S. from threats, securing borders, administering immigration laws, enhancing cybersecurity, and responding to natural and human-made disasters. It comprises Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Coast Guard (USCG), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Secret Service, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). With over 240,000 employees, it's one of the largest federal departments.
John Ratcliffe - CIA Director
Ratcliffe was A Congressman from Texas from 2015 to 2020. During his time in Congress, he was recognized for his conservative views and was active on several committees including the House Intelligence Committee and the Judiciary Committee.
Trump appointed Ratcliffe as the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) from May 2020 until January 2021. Ratcliffe has been a staunch defender of Trump, particularly during the investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election and during Trump's impeachment proceedings.
Tulsi Gabbard - Director of National Intelligence
Another pick that has set the neocons and the military-industrial complex’s hair on fire.
Tulsi is very hot!
Tulsi is a Hindu-American born in American Samoa in 1981. She joined the Hawaii Army National Guard in 2003 and has served for over two decades, including deployments to Iraq and Kuwait, and currently holds the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve.
She served as the U.S. Representative for Hawaii's 2nd congressional district from 2013 to 2021 as a Democrat. She ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020 but ended her campaign in March 2020. In the process she absolutely obliterated Kamala during a debate. She’s known for her criticism of U.S. military interventions abroad, she has taken a stance against what she calls the "neoliberal/neoconservative war machine." She left the Democratic Party in 2022 to become an independent, citing ideological shifts within the party, and later joined the Republican Party in October 2024.
Because of her anti-war stance in the Democratic party she ran afoul of noted war monger Hillary Clinton who tried to (hilariously) smear her as a “Russian asset”. As an example of the deep state weaponization of government, Tusli was secretly put on a sort of “no fly” list by the Biden admin despite being a former congresswoman and active Lt. Col in the Reserve. It will be ironic that as DNI she will be the boss of the people who put her on the list 😂.
The Director of National Intelligence (DNI) in the United States is the head of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI). The DNI serves as the principal intelligence advisor to the President of the United States, the National Security Council, and the Homeland Security Council on intelligence matters related to national security. The DNI oversees and directs the implementation of the National Intelligence Program, which includes 17 agencies and organizations that make up the Intelligence Community. The DNI has the authority to manage the national intelligence budget, determine the allocation of resources, and establish priorities for collection, analysis, and dissemination of intelligence. The DNI provides oversight to ensure that intelligence activities adhere to laws, regulations, and executive orders, and that they respect civil liberties and privacy.
Beautiful!
Lee Zeldin - Director of the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA)
Lee Zeldin represented New York's 1st congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives as a Republican from 2015 to 2023. Before that, he served in the New York State Senate from 2011 to 2014. He previously served in the U.S. Army, including a deployment to Iraq, and continues to serve in the Army Reserve with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
He ran for Governor of New York in 2022 but lost a surprisingly close race to incumbent Kathy Hochul. His gubernatorial campaign was notable for focusing heavily on issues like crime and economic recovery.
Zeldin has expressed views against certain environmental regulations, supported pro-Israel policies, and has been a vocal critic of overreaching federal government actions.
The EPA is responsible for creating and enforcing regulation to keep the air and water clean.
Lots of critics including Zeldin have said they’ve gone off the deep end, designating even puddles as “protected water”.
Zeldin is a climate skeptic and a supporter of US energy independence.
Good pick.
Elise Stefanik - UN Ambassador
Elise serves as the U.S. Representative for New York's 21st Congressional District as a Republican. After graduating Harvard, she was first elected to Congress in 2014, at the age of 30, making her the youngest woman ever elected to the U.S. House at that time. She represents a district that includes most of the North Country, the Adirondack Mountains, some suburbs of Utica, and part of the Capital District. She serves as the chair of the House Republican Conference, making her the fourth-ranking House Republican.
She’s blazingly effective in the committee room. She was the one who eviscerated the three University Presidents for their refusal to condemn the anti-Israeli protests on their campuses, causing their removal. She strongly opposed Trump's first impeachment and supported his efforts to challenge the 2020 election results.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. - Director of Health and Human Services (HHS)
Another one that has the deep state and Big Food and Big Pharma lighting their heads on fire.
He’s the son of assassinated presidential candidate Robert Kennedy and nephew of assassinated president John F Kennedy.
He had a colourful early life, addicted to fast cars, fast women, and drugs.
He eventually sobered up, graduated Harvard then Virginia law school and worked as an environmental lawyer bringing major class action suits against giant corporations.
- He is perhaps best known for his work with Riverkeeper, where he helped lead the legal battles to clean up the Hudson River. His efforts included lawsuits against polluters, especially targeting General Electric for the contamination of the river with PCBs, leading to one of the largest Superfund cleanups in U.S. history.
- He’s also been involved in efforts against Monsanto, particularly regarding their herbicide Roundup. His role has been more in the public advocacy and criticism of glyphosate, but his association with law firms like Morgan & Morgan, which took on Monsanto, underscores his indirect involvement in these cases where Monsanto paid out billions in settlements due to claims that Roundup causes cancer.
- He was part of the legal team that brought actions against DuPont for the contamination caused by PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid), which was the basis for the movie "Dark Waters." His involvement highlighted the environmental and health impacts of chemical pollution.
- He has sued the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) more than any other attorney. These lawsuits often revolved around enforcement of environmental regulations, challenging the EPA's inaction or inadequate action against pollution.
- He legally challenged the use of thimerosal, a mercury-containing preservative used in some vaccines, leading to its removal from most childhood vaccines over safety concerns.
- In 1991, he represented the NAACP in a lawsuit against the construction of a garbage transfer station in Harlem, New York, highlighting issues of environmental racism and justice.
- Throughout his career, he’s engaged in numerous other environmental lawsuits, from protecting endangered species to challenging various forms of pollution, often representing grassroots organizations and indigenous groups against corporate and government entities.
A Democrat all his life, he initially wanted to run for President as a Democrat, but the Democrat machine shut him out completely to undemocratically favour Biden. As a result he was pushed into running as an independent. His three big issues are
- Free speech
- Ending the forever wars
- Health of children
When he found he aligned much more on those three issues with Trump, he joined forces and threw his support to him.
Here is his speech announcing that:
He’s been mischaracterized as a “conspiracy theorist” ever since he turned against Big Pharma.
There is a claim his is “anti-vax” which is untrue. He is entirely vaccinated himself, and so are all his children. He is concerned that vaccines are huge profit centers for Big Pharma and that the number of recommended childhood vaccines has risen dramatically over the years from 5 doses in 1962 to about 80 doses now.
In 1986, Reagan passed a law that gave immunity to drug companies against vaccine injuries. Plus the requirements for testing vaccines are lower than for other drugs.
All vaccines contain preservatives and adjuvants. Vaccine adjuvants are substances added to vaccines to enhance the immune response to the antigens they contain. Adjuvants stimulate the immune system to respond more vigorously to the vaccine, improving its effectiveness. They often work by creating a local inflammatory reaction at the injection site, attracting immune cells and increasing antigen presentation. In short, they are a mild sort of poison. The effects of giving 80 doses of vaccines, all containing various adjuvants and preservatives, to children, some in very short order, has not been systemically studied. However there is an increase in chronic disease, including autism, that coincides with the massive increase in the childhood vaccination schedule. RFKJr believes that this should be studied. He also believes drug companies should not be given immunity and that vaccines should be as well tested as any other drugs. He believes that given the lack of good science on vaccines, parents should be given the right to choose.
RFKJr is also very concerned about the healthiness of the food supply. America especially has dramatically risen levels of chronic disease, including autism a massive obesity problem linked to hyper-processed foods. He wants to study this and make recommendations.
He is extremely critical of the revolving door between Big Food, Big Agra, Big Pharma, and the agencies that are supposed to regulate them. As a result of all of the above, he is one of the most heavily censored people on the planet.
If all you’ve ever heard are second hand reports or out of context clips, you owe it to yourself to sit down and listen to what he has to say. A good place to start is his Joe Rogan appearance where Joe admits he assumed he was crazy and his mind completely changed as a result of talking to him.
An AMAZING pick showing how big the Trump tent is.

I’ll end it there, there are a few minor picks I did not cover and likely more to come before you read this.
I will caution you that the establishment will do everything possible to smear and slander these picks as Trump is out to demolish the cozy cabal the establishment have setup. Don’t listen to the noise. Go to the source. Find a podcast where the person in question lays out their views and make up your own mind.
Ever fantasize about spanking some US Senators? Wemedge
ReplyDeleteTulsi!
DeleteNo comment on Burgum? As someone who loves our public lands and especially our national parks, the Secretary of Interior is important to me.
ReplyDeleteWe know he wants to develop energy, but will he also protect rivers and forests and mountains?
Rosco
Have not really heard him and have no opinion either way.
DeleteI’m more excited and optimistic every day about what will be accomplished during the next term. We truly couldn’t afford another 4 years in the direction we were going. It’s ironic that a big disruption is required to begin to restrain government back to something approaching constitutional levels. I anticipate a golden age that will be appreciated by all but the most severe TDS victims. Trump 2028! - david
