Oh….okay…so these wild ass appointments aren’t actually concerted efforts to destroy the government they’re just stupid

Danny Boingo was NYPD and was in the Secret Service for like over a decade during the Bush/early Obama years, this might be one of the least stupid picks so far tbh.

Trump is personally invested in his own safety after the assassination attempt, so it makes sense that he would pick someone who at least has relevant job experience. He still managed to pick another TV personality, which is super funny.

Exactly, he's still a TV guy but with the added bonus of actual work experience for the position. Bong Gongino is still a colossal dumbass, but he's not near as ridiculous a pick as Dr. Oz or Linda McMahon.

Given the history of the NYPD and the Secret Service... I feel like you'd want an outside guy to yank the leash, not an insider who will be along for the ride.

I was going to say this one i expected him to appoint some absolute demon that nobody has ever heard of but no it seems like literally the stupidity is the point.

Starting to lean towards the theory the entire interview process for these is

  1. Will you use the 25th to remove me from power.

  2. Give me damning evidence I can keep to use against you if you try to use the 25th.
