It's both hilariously bad and depressing.

Let's see who we've got here so far:

Elon Musk - Literally the richest man on Earth helping run the Ameri$$$an government. Also, DOGE.

That one guy who became the defence secretary whose only qualification was being on Fox News.

RFK Jr. as health minister when he has wacky pseudoscientific views.

Pedo Gaetz.

DOCTOR. OZ.

And the funniest of them all, the elephant in the room, though he is only a potential candidate right now:

ALEX. JONES. AS. PRESS. SECRETARY.

The AmeriKKKan empire is becoming a circus, a fitting end.

ALEX. JONES. AS. PRESS. SECRETARY.

timmy-pray please, Allah, Jehova, Inanna i need this please timmy-pray

[-] Lussy@hexbear.net 29 points 6 days ago

Holy fuck

If there’s ever one good thing you do in your life you bloated wet baby, it’s this. JUST GIVE ME THIS

[-] Coca_Cola_but_Commie@hexbear.net 47 points 6 days ago

Obviously Alex Jones is an evil man who should be buried in sand with his head exposed and left to die of exposure. But it would be extremely fitting for him to be US Press Secretary. He's already the character of American US Propaganda Chief ripped from the most unsubtle political satire ever written.

[-] KimJongGoku@hexbear.net 37 points 6 days ago

Yeah, I guess it's bad for the future of the US and mankind in general and stuff, but I appreciate that the ghouls in charge are going to be media clowns I already know and hate.

For once they don't roll out some new vaguely human-shaped sexual harrassment fungus called Kevin McFrumpus who we all have to pretend is a very real and important person now

[-] DivineChaos100@hexbear.net 19 points 6 days ago

For the US yeah, for mankind in general? The jury is still out on that one.

[-] Blockocheese@hexbear.net 12 points 6 days ago

Rfk's potential handling of the upcoming H5N1 pandemic could fuck over other countries as well

[-] rootsbreadandmakka@hexbear.net 32 points 1 week ago

Linda McMahon for dept of education

The United States is a joke but Jesus Christ we’re really outdoing ourselves this time around. I guess we figure if this is the end of the us we gotta go out with a bang

[-] wombat@hexbear.net 24 points 6 days ago

at this point I am convinced I live in a cartoon and Trump is the main character.

[-] HamManBad@hexbear.net 11 points 6 days ago

At the very least, that's how Trump imagines the situation

[-] coolusername@lemmy.ml 23 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

does alex jones shill for israel?? if he were press secretary that would be one of his main jobs

[-] axont@hexbear.net 27 points 6 days ago

Yeah this was my thought too. Jones historically hasn't been keen on Israel, just earlier this year he called them genocidal. But he's also a weathervane. He says whatever he thinks will get him the most attention.

[-] mathemachristian@hexbear.net 22 points 6 days ago

dude will say anything for money? Why would you think any of his opinions are sincere?

[-] Grandpa_garbagio@hexbear.net 17 points 6 days ago

He'll just say whatever papa trump wants him to, he's not an agent of chaos or anything like that. Just a sycophant

[-] Adkml@hexbear.net 19 points 6 days ago

That would be hilarious but I dont see jones getting in. Him and Trump both need to always be the smartest person in the room. Alex has already (totally impotentlly) threatened to turn on Trump or go to war with Trump of he doesn't do what jones says he does.

The first time jones got caught in a particularly explicit lie at a press conference he'd throw Trump under the bus and say he gave him bad info and get fired within a week.

[-] Mokey2@hexbear.net 17 points 6 days ago

THIS. IS. YOUR. FAULT. LIBERALS.

Alex Jones

But not the Alex Jones™©® character. Which is owned by the onion? So they can deepfake him legally and contradict everything Alex Jones (the guy with a social security number) says?

Oh! Oh! They could call the other one the deep fake!

[-] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 7 points 6 days ago

I dunno about the deep fake thing. Because Alex Jones is the actor who plays Alex Jones(tm)(c)(r) and using Alex Jones’ likeness to portray Alex Jones(tm)(c)(r) might be protected.

[-] urmums401k@hexbear.net 10 points 6 days ago

If he's in SAG, yes, it is.

Do you think Alex Jones is union?

[-] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 8 points 6 days ago

It would be funnier if he is

[-] urmums401k@hexbear.net 2 points 6 days ago

Short term? Yes. Long term? Absolutely not.

[-] frazorth@feddit.uk 3 points 6 days ago
[-] urmums401k@hexbear.net 6 points 6 days ago

Find out how many layers this onion has.

[-] Leon_Grotsky@hexbear.net 3 points 6 days ago

You know, The Blob. The Parapolitical. The unelected institutions that provide the real impetus for affairs of state.

[-] frazorth@feddit.uk 3 points 6 days ago

Oh sorry, I know what it is.

I just found it funny that they are the deep state.

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 6 points 6 days ago

If that happens memes are back on the menu!

[-] glimmer_twin@hexbear.net 69 points 1 week ago

It’s great. It’s also irrelevant because he’s gonna fall out with half these people before they even officially start work, the rest will be out by June 2025

[-] Parsani@hexbear.net 9 points 6 days ago

The real question is who gets fired first

It really does feel like he just picked people he saw on TV

[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 29 points 6 days ago

The only reason he hasn't tried to get Hannibal Lecter to be the head of the FDA is not because he's a fictional character, but because he thinks he's recently deceased.

[-] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 3 points 6 days ago

Fox News could have done a prank and occasionally some random guy appeared who they called their "crime and medicine expert". Also "Hannibal Lecter" was on the chyron for an extraordinarily long time with each appearance. Trump would have at least nominated him to be Assistant Director of the FBI or something.

[-] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 12 points 6 days ago

We know Trump is a cable news head. This seems likely.

What cabinet position do you think the My Pillow guy is going to get?

[-] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 48 points 1 week ago

You missed the Linda McMahon pick for Secretary of Education. Wtf. I would've never predicted that lol.

[-] gaystyleJoker@hexbear.net 30 points 6 days ago

the wildest part of this is these appointments are 100% reciprocation for them putting him in a wrestlemania once

[-] elpaso@hexbear.net 11 points 6 days ago

I am so glad I am one of the two departments that don't have a complete clown coming in so far.

i'm getting gorbachev vibes from this for some reason

[-] Gosplan14_the_Third@hexbear.net 33 points 6 days ago

Gorbachev had more of a Dubya style cabinet. All more competent than he was, following a more malicious agenda.

Trump II's feels like something out of the Tropico video game series, it's all grifters and fools.

i'll be surprised if the nightmare that is this presidency isn't gonna make things worse and radicalize more people

[-] Clippy@hexbear.net 21 points 6 days ago
