Expectations were raised because he said he wouldn't name Pompeo or Haley again, but apparently he's chosen others who aren't that much better.

Foreign policy of both parties is the same. Trump reverts to
The establishment on things that don't interest him as much

We'll see what he does in office, but for now it looks like I was right about the "Trump is the anti-war candidate" claims being foolish.

"We're told Trump is clear-eyed that Musk's companies, including Tesla and SpaceX, benefit from federal incentives and contracts ,and could reap a windfall from deregulatory moves by Trump. Plus Musk is trying to maximize the value of his X purchase."

Mike Huckabee, Ambassador to Israel



* "There's really no such thing as a Palestinian," Huckabee told a Massachusetts rabbi during his 2008 presidential campaign. "That's been a political tool to try to force land away from Israel." Salon.com

*Many evangelicals maintain that the continued existence of Israel is key to their understanding of the end times, as explained in the Book of Revelations. They believe that Jews must possess their own country in the Holy Land of Israel before the second coming of Jesus can occur, which is seen as the ultimate goal in Christian theology, with the establishment of a Christly kingdom on Earth. These distinctive religious beliefs lead to significant differences in evangelicals' views of Israel compared to other Americans."

If Dick Cheney had gone full-on MAGA starting nine years ago and stuck with it through thick and thin, he might be Trump's new National Security Advisor.

The new Department of Government Efficiency, DOGE, will be led by both Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.

So as far as I can tell, it looks like Trump is mostly picking establishment Republican types for his cabinet. This wouldn't suggest a major shift in foreign policy, for example.

Trump would have started WWIII during his first term but the establishment reigned him in with Russiagate.

In a Yogiesque sort of way, I'm actually almost halfway looking forward to the chaos of the next four years. Heartened by the fact that Trump is probably not going to start wars (which almost makes up for the anticipated environmental setbacks... I said "almost").

Dick Cheney wouldn't be able to fake it for 9 years.

It will be chaotic, people are going to be mad, and the memes will be endless. Interesting times ahead.

Musk and Ramaswamy... lotta brain power there, but maybe a little light on the wisdom (and certainly the humility). I'd like to be a fly on the wall when they have a disagreement.

I am also of the opinion to let it burn. To the Muslim community Dearborn, MI. You voted for him to end the conflict in Gaza. But you never asked how he would do it. It will likely be annexed. lol

Let's give Cal88 the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he just supports candidates who look out for the interests of Russia.

Yeah, I guess Trump was too squishy on this issue. Gotta go for the true believer.
