Summary
Russian state TV hosts are celebrating Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks, claiming they could “dismantle America.”
Figures like Vladimir Solovyov praised the nominees, including Kash Patel for FBI director and Tulsi Gabbard for intelligence, as a “radical dream team” likely to undermine U.S. institutions.
Critics in the U.S. warn that Trump’s selections, including conspiracy theorists and controversial figures like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Pete Hegseth, signal plans to weaken federal agencies.
Even stupid can do a lot of damage. My main concern, other than trump’s shortsighted destruction of everything his ego can reach, is the ruling wealthy class he’s inserting everywhere that will wedge the door further open for the oligarchy to control the country for their exclusive pillaging. Yeah, trump might fuck up NATO, give putin Ukraine, let the Israel wipe out Palestinians…but it’s the courtiers that have his ear that will commit the lasting destruction to the US itself. Destroy unions, the CFPB, environmental regs, tariffs sending prices and inflation through the roof, who knows what they’ll do to the ACA, the CDC, or other agencies that directly benefit the people, shoving religion into schools and giving public money to religious schools. There is so much damage to be done.
Not to mention governmental deadlock can be just as damaging as no government, because theyre effectively the same. I wouldnt be surprised if we see the govt shut down for a couple months because they try to ram through federally outlawing trans rights and they wont give on it, so eventually democrats will cave to get shit like school funding and ss flowing again.
You are describing 1979 Iran. The GOP will slap together a massive shit sandwich and everyone is going to take a bite.
