That’s the thing with sarcasm. You don’t label it.

Don, Trump didn’t label it sarcasm, and we were treated to numerous of his supporters telling how this was brilliant 3-D chess, to keep his enemies close.

Sure the Democrats know they will win again. Nothing has changed at the DOJ, the DOJ that committed de facto election interference, and those mail in ballots are just waiting to be filled out. What human on Earth doesn’t think if something works once it will work again and again.

The Trump supporters say that he will clean out the swamp for sure this time. What makes them think that he will be able to do it? A few weeks ago he wrote a post on his Truth Social account saying that he was going to reward the FBI with a “big beautiful building” in Washington DC.

He was being sarcastic.

So it is not Trump‘s responsibility to vet his nominees? Trump made some horrendously bad personnel decisions and then tried to shift the blame to others.

They were establishment choices. The same type of people the Bush family used.

Trump expected to be a normal POTUS, they didn’t let him. I doubt he will be able to drain the swamp, but I don’t think anyone else will either. The establishment types won’t try.

Banned Lizard: “Which candidate among the Republican field would be most likely to perform such a cleaning?” DeSantis, most efficiently; Trump, perhaps slightly more scatter shot; Haley, not at all.

Art Deco: “ Recommended by Rod Rosenstein. Wray had held a 2d echelon position in the Justice Department under John Ashcroft. NB. All of Trump’s nominees had to get past Glitch McConnell.”

So it is not Trump‘s responsibility to vet his nominees? Trump made some horrendously bad personnel decisions and then tried to shift the blame to others. He will turn on and viciously attack people who had previously been loyal to him like Kellyanne Conway. Nothing he has done recently indicates that he will do anything different.

The posters on this thread who are talking about cleaning out the FBI seem to forget that Christopher Wray was Trump‘s hand picked head of the FBI.

You want to fix the problem, you have to dramatically reduce the text of the federal penal code, prescribe penatlies therein according to the median of state practice for comparable offenses, require to pursue a case a federal prosecutor must receive an information from a panel of federal magistrates, require that some informations require a preliminary hearing where an adversary process is followed, largely eliminate the discretion federal judges have over sentencing, require federal agents record interviews with subjects being questioned, dissolve the FBI and debar a selection of its employees from federal employment, and establish special-purpose federal police services distributed over about six departments. Also, put investigators and prosecutors in separate departments and debar prosecutors from initiating investigations.
==
None of that will happen and NeverTrump refuse don’t want it to happen.
