In an obvious attempt to get them out of his hair, the Convicted Felon has promised clueless billionaires Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk that they will be appointed to lead an advisory commission to find waste in the Federal government.
Biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, who has been named to lead President-elect Donald Trump’s proposed Department of Government Efficiency alongside tech billionaire Elon Musk, promised Sunday that many government agencies will soon be “deleted.”
...
“We expect certain agencies to be deleted outright,” he said. “We expect mass reductions in force in areas of the federal government that are bloated. We expect massive cuts among federal contractors and others who are overbilling the federal government.”
First of all, you won't have the authority to "delete" shit. Congress would have to act and good luck with that.
Second, the agencies exist FOR A REASON. Congress doesn't have the time or expertise to lay out specific regulations for the myriad areas of American life that need to be regulated to protect people and business. So, Congress delegated these tasks to the federal agencies, which are answerable to the elected Congress. You can't govern a nation of over 300 million people otherwise.
Finally, this glib asshole is talking about hundreds of thousands of jobs he wants to "delete". Of course, he doesn't worry about money, but those hundreds of thousands of workers have families who depend on them. Firing these dedicated public servants would not only devastate these families, but wreck the local economies they support.
In short, fuck these two out of touch assholes. Just because you're rich doesn't mean you're smart.

I hear rumors that Linda McMahon might get a spot for Secretary of Commerce.... for me... that is OH SHIT! Her perverted husband might get pardoned for all of those rapes and sex trafficking. Not to mention that she helped cover up the ringboy scandals of the late 80s/early 90s when she was still working for WWE at that time. Fucking cunt.
Honest to God, they're all cartoon villains.
I'm torn between "He's doing this to flood the zone with shit" so no one can pay enough attention to any one thing, and "He's just randomly picking whoever comes to mind the instant they ask him who he wants". There is some indication that it's the latter. In any event, absolute loyalty to Trump appears to be the shared characteristic between all of them.
