To be fair, Generals are in a chain of command. This strikes me as a little unfair because at some level even the 4 Stars are following orders.
Yep. And foreshadowing...1) the people he is / has nominated for DOJ/FBI are going to clean house. No 2 ways about it. 2) Musk/Other Dude are going to come up with substantial substantive change to the structure and size of the government - especially the Executive Branch; 3) Fox guy is obviously going to be seriously disruptive to the Military Industrial Complex at DoD. And there is more ... but those 3 things alone are going to save jobs at MSNBC, CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, Politico and Axios.sycasey said:That's the attitude I'm taking now: don't pay much mind to what Trump says anymore.

Well Trump did jokingly say that he wouldn't seek a 3rd term unless House Repubs found a way to allow it.
I'd say the nominees to date paint a picture of future governance that's going to be unconventional and disruptive. There's enough meat on those bones to stay focused there.
If you didn't want Pete Hegseth to be Secretary of Defense, you shouldn't have created a DEI military.

If you didn't want Matt Gaetz to be Attorney General, you shouldn't have lied about Russia collusion.
If you don't want Tulsi Gabbard to be Director of National Intelligence,…

Lay off / fire Obama and Biden's illegal burrowing.
BREAKING: Biden’s Deputy National Security Advisor Anne Neuberger is trying to burrow in (go from political appointee to civil servant) to lead the internal resistance against the incoming Trump administration.

We're in a post truth society 88. The far fetched QAnon theories are gospel to MAGA. That's what drove them to the polls. It churns emotion, anger. And since it wins elections, nothing is as far fetched as you describe.
