I'd prefer to see someone in that job who has previously worked at a high level within a WH. She appears to be a capable political advisor, but I've always thought that a WH Chief of Staff ought to know a lot going into the job about the daily management of things.

I get that many of you decry the institutions of government, but at that level I think it has to be less about ideology or just "winning" and at least some significant part of it has to be about making sure we don't accidentally start WW III or that Trump does not send markets tanking with some off the cuff, not thought through comment, about anything from interest rates to tariffs.

And don't for one second tell me that he won't do that as history proves otherwise.

Accidently start WW III ?? That's a joke, right? You really need to expand beyond CNN and MSNBC.

Your crew was responsible for Ukraine and the Middle East mess, and seemed to be actively trying to start WW III. If anything, Trump is going to throttle all that back, and the initial reactions from Hamas and that clown Zelensky show that they understand the charlatans are gone and adults will now be in charge.

Oh the irony! No new wars under Trump and as soon as he's elected Hamas throttles down, Putin declares he wants to negotiate on peace in Ukraine and Xi acknowledges his election. If Obama and Fauci hadn't actively experimented with gain of function in Ukrainian biolabs Putin wouldn't have had to go into Ukraine. We'd do the same damn thing if China or Iran had labs in Mexico or Canada.

Uh huh. Putin wants to negotiate. Uh huh.


Hey, there's this bridge I've got. Right over some beautiful swamp land. Interested ?

Anyone who wants to spend a few minutes and read an article that flat nails it, check this out. My first thought about the Trump landslide was that it ended the Democrat lackey mainstream media's self-appointed place as the source of information for Americans, as they could not have been more thoroughly rejected, but especially as the complete and total repudiation of the Obama regime and all it stood for. Hopefully that piece of garbage finally gets the hell out of DC and back to his Hawaii and Martha's Vineyard mansions.

They are not, but I would welcome the choice of Tulsi as Secretary of Defense. RFK is a green energy guy as well, but he's being tapped to help in the health area. Neither would have a voice in the energy sector, but if they are chosen it would be taking advantage of their strengths.

Both are people who I trust far more than the DC bureaucrat lifers he trusted in his first go-round, "Republicans" who stabbed him in the back the first chance they got. What a concept - choosing competent people for areas where they are strong as opposed to their gender, skin color, or sexual preference.

I like Tulsi but seriously, what has she run before? She is not qualified as Sec Def. Far too easy to flim flam her under the layers of paperwork. I want someone who knows where bodies are buried there and how things operate. I would hope that Lt. Col. Stuart Scheller is made an assistant or deputy sec def though.

Chief of Staff is above all, gatekeeper to POTUS and essentially head of recruiting. She is perfect for this as she doesnt seek limelight for herself, knows where bodies are buried (and probably still has the shovel and lime in her trunk) and above all, understands what Trump wants in an administration so that he can trust she will in turn pick competent people that will be loyal to Trump and the MAGA agenda.

Trump doesnt need a CoS that is queen of the DC cocktail circuit. I predict she will do well for him.

Definitely because she’s a woman.


Trump should have announced before he made the choice that he was going to choose the first female Chief of Staff. Then she would have been celebrated like the other DEI hires.

Cmon Trump!

If you, meaning them, have that poor of judgement to support those policies then you have zero business anywhere near the seats of power.

Not sure if it has been mentioned in the thread, but a great Secretary of State choice would be Ric Grenell, who was Trump's Acting Director of National Intelligence in his first term and who is more than qualified for this post.

And before anyone else says it, yes, he would even fit the left's DEI standards as an openly gay man.

They need to find an old Sgt Major from one of the Ranger Bats or the 187th to be Sec Def.

No, not at all. Just saying opinion is not uniform.

I've already given Trump credit here for picking the first woman chief of staff.

Just to show how the news works, especially CBS and perfect hand placement Norah.

The day he appointed her, I'm sitting at home watching the local news and then CBS News comes on, not a word about how she's the first, not one single blurb nothing other than he appointed her.

Now flip that around they would be doing a 30 minute special about the first woman in this position if it was a democrat who did it.

State is probably a good fit for Grenell but if not, he absolutely should be in a high cabinet post. He is loyal and capable.

I saw it reported that way on a number of mainstream news sources. Perhaps you missed it at the time.

I posted this elsewhere.

Trump did it wrong. He’s supposed to announce to the world that he’s gonna appoint a woman. Thus eliminating half of the qualified candidates solely based on gender. Then tout the importance of DEI for a few days. Then make the announcement. That’s how you do it!
