President Trump’s new Cabinet picks are making waves—names floated so far have patriots cheering and liberals in full meltdown mode.
The president-elect is putting America first, and his choices for his team reflect his promise to drain the swamp.
This from theptriotjournal.com.
Pete Hegseth for Veterans Affairs? Matt Gaetz for Attorney General? Even Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as head of Health and Human Services, is on the list. These are not your typical bureaucrats:
[T]hey are fighters, ready to shake up the establishment.
***UPDATE: Matt Gaetz has withdrawn his nomination to become President Donald Trump’s attorney general.
I had excellent meetings with Senators yesterday. I appreciate their thoughtful feedback – and the incredible support of so many. While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance…

Moving forward, Conservatives are thrilled. They see a team of outsiders who will challenge the status quo and put the American people ahead of the D.C. elite.
Liberals, on the other hand, are spiraling into chaos. This means more opportunity for many to become certifiable—and Trump may facilitate the return of State Mental Health Hospitals. Just think of the possibilities here!
Propaganda media has declared Trump’s picks “unqualified.”
[B]ut that’s music to the ears of anyone tired of career politicians running the show.
And:
The outrage is telling—if all the right people are upset, Trump must be on the right track.
From Breitbart:
The chances that President-elect Donald Trump’s nominees are confirmed by the Senate are quite good, according to Jeff Greenfield, a contributing writer at Politico Magazine…
Placing bets that the Senate will vote down some of Donald Trump’s more hair-raising Cabinet appointees? History might make you think twice. As POLITICO Magazine’s Jeff Greenfield writes in his latest column, it’s been nearly three and a half decades since the Senate rejected a president’s Cabinet nominee — and that streak isn’t likely to end now.
Of course, the propaganda media are beyond themselves. They are declaring these nominees dead on arrival in the Senate. Outlets like Punchbowl News are saying Gaetz “can’t get confirmed.”
They are practically begging for a showdown. But keep the faith. They will lose this battle also.
One voice of reason is poking holes in their narrative: Jeff Greenfield, a Yale-trained lawyer and former speechwriter for John F. Kennedy. Greenfield’s take?
Trump’s nominees will get confirmed, and it’s not even close.
In a column for Politico Magazine, Greenfield laid out three reasons why Trump’s picks will sail through:
– First, the Senate hasn’t rejected a Cabinet nominee since 1989—yes, it’s been 35 years,
– Second, Trump knows how to “intimidate” Republican lawmakers into backing him. Let’s not forget that this is a guy who turned ‘low-energy Jeb’ into a punchline and made Lindsey Graham a MAGA believer, and
– Third, the Senate’s Republican majority is stronger and more Trump-aligned than during his first term. The GOP knows who butters their bread, and it’s not the D.C. establishment.
Greenfield also reminded readers of a critical point:
[T]he last time the Senate rejected a Cabinet pick, it wasn’t about qualifications. In 1989, George H.W. Bush’s nominee for Defense Secretary, John Tower, was torpedoed by party politics—not because he lacked the chops.
Since then, the Senate has confirmed nominee after nominee, no matter how controversial. If history is any guide, Trump’s Cabinet picks will cruise through, no matter how much the media kicks and screams.
The media’s hysteria over “unqualified” nominees is nothing new. They called Trump unqualified too, and yet he defied the odds. If anything, the outrage over Hegseth, Gaetz, and Kennedy proves they are exactly what America needs: bold, unapologetic, and ready to break the D.C. mold.
Greenfield even suggested Trump’s message to the Senate is clear:
[C]onfirm my picks, or I’ll recess-appoint them without your votes. Talk about a power move.
If that were the case, We the People could expect Trump would then make primaries very tough for each damn dissenter.
Trump’s picks represent a direct challenge to the system:
– Hegseth is a tireless advocate for veterans,
– Gaetz is a firebrand ready to take on the deep state, and
– Kennedy is a health reformer who isn’t afraid to question Big Pharma.
While liberals gnash their teeth, Trump’s supporters see a team built for action.
These are not swamp creatures—they are disruptors.
The Senate confirmation process may be noisy, but history and Trump’s track record suggest his nominees will prevail.
This Cabinet has not been selected for the establishment—and that is the point.
This Cabinet is for We the American People.
