He's an old white man, he sees the word secretary and you know his first instincts... duh.

Wilbur Louis Ross, Jr. (born November 28, 1937)[2] is an American investor, and former banker, known for restructuring failed companies in industries such as steel, coal, telecommunications, foreign investment and textiles. He specializes in leveraged buyouts and distressed businesses. As of August 2014, Forbes magazine lists Ross as one of the world's billionaires with a net worth of $2.9 billion. On November 24, 2016, it was reported by the Associated Press that Ross will be tapped for Secretary of Commerce by the incoming Trump Administration.[3]

dude is 80 though

I believe there should be statutes in place preventing anyone involved in the bush administration from taking office again.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I hope he does choose Romney for SOS

That hilariously looks almost dead on like my last dog before Roxy. Half Golden Retriever, half Chow Chow, 100% teddy bear. Sweetest creature ever.

The appointments are driving the MSM crazy because they know the group will actually get things done.

Which selection(s) so far do you think will achieve the most? I don't know of any administration that has just done nothing. Every administration that I can recall has actually accomplished something. Do you want Romney or no?

The "Getting things done" is referring more towards "Policies that will grow the economy and bring back the America First ideology"

I'm not sure I would want a back stabbing mother fucker like Mitt Romney in the cabinet, but I am vindictive. If he was in the cabinet, I would much rather him try and fix the VA

Gotcha. Thanks for responding. That's how I figured you felt.

I completely share your desire to see the VA fixed. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much room for the private sector to make any money off a fix so I expect the VA to remain a mess....or get even worse. Forget about having the backs of those who served. It's always about the bottom line.....

 

[3RA1N1AC]

"America First"

but i thought we were equals with russia now? so we are like 1b?

hey not bad! tied for first!

Is Palin seriously being considered for VA Secretary? That sounds like a terrible idea to me.

[barfo]

Hey, it's not about the appointments. It's about making america great again. So sayeth Mags.

So I will assume it will make america great to have a lazy idiot in charge of veterans.

What the hell do veterans have to lose?

I agree. If I'm Trump, I don't want her as a cabinet member at all. She seems to me to be a bit of a loose cannon. I guess she kind of is a nod to the anti-establishment folks. I suspect given her support during the campaign, he feels somewhat obligated. I don't know, seems like a poor strategic pick.

 

[Chris Craig]

Trump selected retired General James Mattis as secretary of defense. Will have to change the law to allow for his appointment.

God No! She might be considered for his personal secretary...please don't let her run anything important.

Ahem... to clarify

"Before Mattis can take the job, Congress would need to pass a waiver to circumvent a law that requires the Defense secretary to be off active duty for at least seven years."

Laws are made for a reason and shouldn't be circumvented or navigated around, or changed, for one person. The law applies to him as much as it does to anyone else

I personally disagree. Laws are changed all the time. Laws are fluid. Obviously if the law isn't changed, he will have to appoint someone else.

Yes they are, but not to accomodate individuals.

Sooo..... is your threshold, a group of 2? 3? 4? a dozen individuals? 100? 1000?

Hahahahahahaha. The government does this all the time. What do you think about sanctuary cities? Marijuana legalization?

I'm assuming you want to strip Trump of the executive orders that Obama used for everything.

I hope Congress does. I so want this dude as SOD.

God No! She might be considered for his personal secretary...please don't let her run anything important.

Agreed. Keep that woman as far away from actual power and authority as humanly possible.

......at least, until she decides what newspaper she likes.....

LMAO. Right. I'll remember this the next time I read about Obama using executive privilege to get his way. Lord knows he did that numerous times when it came to gun control.

On an off-note, since we're talking about his Administration, Gen. Patraeus should be nowhere near his cabinet. That man is a disgusting, womanizing traitor to his country.

You can't bitch about Hillary's emails for 2 years, and then hire Patraeus. It doesn't work that way, Trump.
