Sounds like the rookie president started out 3 for 3 but small sample size as they say in baseball

I was actually converted to root for Trump because of the melt down from the left.

But this cabinet is just objectively shitty.

He's going far right, big government with his picks. Its insanity.

He is not picking outsiders, he's picking cliche, right wingers with archaeic views on the country.

Bump.

Should we also include speculation in the OP? Might be fun. For example, Trump's SCOTUS List

Converted? Your board spam today says otherwise.

Keep fighting the good fight, your objectively shitty posts are nutritional.

Jeff sessions is a terrible pick If you have any hope for states rights or that the government will shrink.
