Summary

Donald Trump Jr. has become a key adviser to his father, influencing cabinet appointments for Trump’s upcoming administration.

He is reportedly prioritizing loyalists over experienced candidates, backing controversial figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for health secretary and Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence, both of whom face Senate challenges.

Trump Jr. also played a role in selecting JD Vance as vice president-elect and blocking Mike Pompeo’s cabinet return.

Despite this, Trump’s reliance on family has lessened, due to a more structured team led by chief of staff Susie Wiles.

    It’s so interesting how they will dig through a stolen laptop and make a huge deal of it every single day for 2 years.

    Trump Jr does cocaine in public on camera and it’s perfectly normal.

    I think that’s a major difference in left vs right media. The Right understands marketing. You need to repeat a message over and over before it gets into the public consciousness. Democrats never stick to one subject. They’re always onto the new shiny criticism. For example, labeling Trump as “weird” was just gaining traction when they moved onto the new idea.

      When you control the media, they let you do it.

      Dems stuck to hope and change during Obama’s campaigns and it worked. They of course learned nothing from success.

      Right? It was wild how the weird thing was really going well and they decided to close out the last couple of months by hanging out with Liz Cheney.
