Trump's voters about to get SCREWED, they have no idea
Donald Trump's cabinet selections raise serious concerns for the average American, especially his working-class supporters. Marco Rubio as Secretary of State could lead to costly military interventions and reduced domestic spending on infrastructure and jobs. Pete Hegseth, a Fox News pundit with no real leadership experience, may mismanage defense budgets, putting soldiers at risk. Tulsi Gabbard’s foreign policy could destabilize alliances, harm trade relationships, and negatively impact rural industries vital to Trump voters. Across the board, these nominations prioritize corporate and elite interests, leaving working Americans and key sectors underserved and vulnerable.
UH-OH: Something is VERY WRONG with Trump's transition
Trump’s transition team has not disclosed its funding sources or signed ethics agreements, leaving the origins of its finances unclear and raising concerns about corruption and foreign influence. Required documents to facilitate the transition remain unsigned, delaying security briefings and preventing FBI background checks for cabinet nominees. These actions reflect patterns from Trump’s first term, where some officials bypassed clearance processes. The lack of transparency and procedural adherence signals plans to expand such practices further and having no regard for accountability.

HE'S HIRING DOCTOR OZ
Donald Trump has appointed Dr. Oz to lead CMS, overseeing health programs for half of all Americans, including Medicare and Medicaid. Critics are alarmed by Oz’s controversial past statements, such as his comment during COVID about reopening schools despite a potential rise in mortality. His public missteps, like the “crudité” video, further highlight concerns about his qualifications. This choice reflects Trump’s pattern of favoring TV personalities over policy experts. It underscores how Trump’s decisions are shaped more by entertainment than informed judgment.

Some Dems PANIC, poll has Kamala EASILY WINNING 2028 primary
Early 2028 Democratic primary polls show Kamala Harris leading significantly, with 42% in a Morning Consult poll and 41% in an Echelon poll, primarily due to name recognition. Pete Buttigieg, Gavin Newsom, and Josh Shapiro trail far behind. Despite Harris’s strong showing, some argue that the Democratic Party has a deep bench of candidates, and her strong performance in these polls is largely due to name recognition. With the race still years away, these numbers are more reflective of familiarity than voter commitment.
