My Personal Opinion on Trump’s Dream Team

November 19, 2024

A Dream Team is being assembled today in Washington, D.C., under #DonaldTrump.

It is arguably the best ever built. At the time of this writing, nominees include:

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, co-heads of DOGE
Secretary of State – Marco Rubio
Attorney General – Matt Gaetz
Director of National Intelligence – Tulsi Gabbard
Secretary of Defense – Pete Hegseth
Secretary of Homeland Security – Kristi Noem
CIA Director – John Ratcliffe
Secretary of Health and Human Services – Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Secretary of Veterans Affairs – Doug Collins
EPA Administrator – Lee Zeldin
Border Czar – Tom Homan
National Security Advisor – Michael Waltz
U.S. Ambassador to Israel – Mike Huckabee

By his own admission, Trump played nice with the Republican establishment by following their nominee recommendations. As a result, Trump got what he would describe as “stiffs,” like Reince Priebus, Jeff Sessions, Rex Tillerson, Christopher Wray, John Bolton, Mike Pompeo, Nikki Haley, and Gina Haspel.

Today it is a totally different ball game. Trump totally understands the political landscape in D.C. and I believe learned from all his missteps.

Frankly, I am delighted to see younger, less “establishment” nominees than other presidents’ selections. After all, these “smart and experienced” Democrat government officials are the ones who gave us a weaponized justice and intelligence system, endless wars, an open border, teenage genital mutilation, censorship, the COVID calamity, and a growing national debt of $36 trillion.

William F. Buckley, Jr. famously asserted, “I would rather be governed by the first 2,000 people in the Manhattan phone book than the entire faculty of #Harvard.” Trump is filling his administration from the phone book rather than the faculty lounge.

This is a welcome change given how poorly the “credentialed class” has run the country for decades. The howling and shrieking from corporate media and the left confirm for me that Trump is doing the right thing.

Is this payback? Perhaps. I call it “the reckoning,” a necessary course correction that keeps America from descending into an Orwellian or Hunger Games dystopia.

#CharlieKirk summed it up well on X:

They spied on Trump. So now they get Tulsi Gabbard.

They tried to lock up Trump. So now they get Matt Gaetz.

They kept the border open. So now they get Tom Homan.

They tried to ruin the country. And they are getting what they deserve.

I believe Trump’s second term will be transformative. He won the Electoral College, the popular vote, the House, and the Senate. A majority of Americans eagerly want change, and Trump will deliver. His Dream Team clearly indicates that Trump’s version of “hope and change,” also known as The Reckoning, is underway.

What a great time to be alive
