And the cabinet announcements were going so well up until now.
I will admit that up until about 20 minutes before I began writing this, I’d been quite pleased about the appointments Trump has been announcing for his new cabinet: Representative Mike Waltz as national security adviser, former Trump director of national intelligence John Ratcliffe at the CIA, Elise Stefanik representing America (and putting antisemites in their place) at the United Nations, Lee Zeldin to the EPA, and particularly Marco Rubio as secretary of state — you could be hard-core MAGA, a Trump skeptic, or even a center-left Democrat and rate every single pick as anywhere from “perfectly cromulent” to “great.” (I particularly look forward to Rubio finally returning seriousness to U.S. foreign policy in the western hemisphere. Sorry Maduro, it’s about to become a really rough four years to be a dictator.)
