Axios is reporting on Trump’s fantasy football fascist team, a dream Cabinet for the loyalty-first dictator-wannabe, according to sources who regularly interact with the Former Guy.
Tucker Carlson is in Melania’s corner as top pick for VP. Melania thinks Tukkker would add to the image of power and bombast, a perfect complement to her hoosband. Trump himself has babbled about several options, including JD Vance, Kari Lake, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Kristi Noem, Byron Donalds, and Marjorie Taylor Greene.
Stephen Miller could be Attorney General, or a Cabinet-level position to influence immigration, because, off course. In the first term, he was the architect of family separation. He has spoken extensively about plans to detain, purge and punish undocumented immigrants if again put into power.
Mike Davis has been advisor and counsel to Chuck Grassley, Judiciary Committee Chairman, on the appointment of Trump federal judges and support for Supreme Court nominees. Davis could be appointed as an interim Attorney General who would weaponize the DOJ with a “three-week reign of terror,” putting kids in cages and jailing disloyal prosecutors and journalists. Medhi Hasan, of MSNBC, was told by Davis he has “his spot picked out in the D.C. gulag.”
Steve Bannon, who is supposed to be in jail, is being pushed by Tukkker and others to become White House Chief of Staff. Carlson says Bannon would implement promises like building the wall as a proud advocate of authoritarian rule. Bannon sees a war between good and evil — Trump being good, and Democrats, the Establishment, and the Media as evil.
Kash Patel, a Devin Nunes protege and former Pentagon official, might get the nod to head the CIA or NSC. Bannon said in a podcast that Patel would likely end up at the CIA, where former CIA director Gina Haspel threatened to resign when Trump wanted Patel installed as her deputy. Trump thought the intelligence community had the intel to damage his political enemies.
JD Vance, Hillbilly Elegy MAGA fave from Ohio, while being mentioned as potential VP material, might prefer to remain in the Senate, earning a role as Trump’s “hammer.”
But wait, there’s more…
- Johnny McEntee could be back-up quarterback, a floating utility player who would be useful wherever he might land to fight the Deep State and implement Trump dreams.
- Jeffrey Clark, currently under indictment in Georgia, is looking at a top DOJ position. Trump wanted to appoint him as Attorney General following Billy Barr’s exit, in order to overturn the 2020 election.
- Ric Grenell, a MAGA online troll favorite, is on the short list for Secretary of State. As former ambassador to Germany, he insulted European diplomats with his “America First” agenda.
- Susie Wiles, a Mar-a-Lago operative in charge of the Trump campaign, is an obvious consideration as Chief of Staff.
- John Ratcliffe, former Texas rep, is considered an option for CIA head, DNI, defense secretary, or VP.
- Jamie Dimon, a Democrat! (but also a big name billionaire), catches Trump’s eye as a Treasury Secretary.
- Tom Cotton, former Army infantry officer and Trump warrior in favor of Trump using the Insurrection Act against civil disorder, is considered to head the Pentagon.
- Jared Kushner, who sleeps with Trump’s daughter/wife, with his interest in Middle East “policy,” might have eyes on Secretary of State.
