This Trump Presidency Will Be "Interesting"

So far everything I have seen indicates to me a rather abrupt change of course is coming down the pike.
4 cabinet members with military backgrounds, the head of the EPA who has been fighting that agency for years and one one big surprise in the announcement of Linda McMahon of WWE wrestling fame to head up the small business bureau.


Unfortunately, he went with another Goldman Sachs veteran to head up Treasury.
I don't know what kind of magic potions that guy thinks he has but everybody and their dog knows it is just a matter of time before the entire world economy goes tits up.
I don't think I need to point out that any of his cabinet picks so far seem to be hurting for money either, they already have a combined worth that would make some countries jealous.
14.5 BILLION dollars worth between them and his cabinet isn't even half full yet I don't think.

You know what would be a really nice change?
If all of these people just decided that they had enough money already and actually did some things to help the rest of us who can only keep our heads above water long enough to suck in a breath of air before bouncing off the bottom again.
A guy can dream but I can only hold my breath for so long these days.


Of course there are the usual professional politicians in this mix too.
Nikki Haley?

Where the fuck did that come from?
Did someone get caught fucking a chicken or something?
I am at a loss to see how she got such a plum deal.
(Thanks Taminator013)

Like I said, it is going to be interesting to see where all this hodgepodge of talent leads but I can guarantee you from what I see already, the Obama/Commie/Liberal agenda is about to get shit canned, with prejudice.

It's going to be a brand new day.

I think you meant Nikki Haley. The only thing that I could come up with is that the Prez elect wanted Haley out of the way. Give her some useless job like Ambassador to the UN and her Lt. is now governor of SC. Leave her in that job for a while and then shit can her.

Thing is, would you rather have the previous assholes in charge? They were all fairly wealthy too, and they had no idea how business or an economy works. These new folks will likely make a difference in the fact that they will put business (and therefore jobs) first. They will make it easier to DO business, and therefore make the economy grow.

"A poor man never gave anyone a job".....it is true.

It's the definition of Fascism, business and government welded together.
I saw something the other day saying that Trump wants to thin the herd at the government trough and cut a bunch of jobs and at the same time restructure the cherry on top retirement plans and make it easier to fire useless and non performing Federal employees.
I am all for that shit.

Did you just admit you're all for fascism. WTF.

No merely pointing out the definition.
