I like Bessent. I might overstate him because I had low expectations, but he has been really solid
You just think he’s cute. But he has done great.
Lil Marco has been a fricking all-Star.
Sean Duffy maybe had the most difficult job trying to replace the chest feeder due to DOT being on auto pilot for 4 years.

He takes care of business at hand that’s why.
I don’t always care about past indiscretions as much as a care about the lately.
Marco is a stone cold soldier in his role.

Rubio.

Rubio has been good. He seems one of the only picks that is competent and qualified for the job assigned

Tom Homan and RFK jr.

Marco has been very impressive but much of his work is still ongoing with results undetermined (Panama, Mexico, Ukraine). He has been a great ambassador for America First on the world stage but international diplomacy is relationship building and can be slow to develop. He certainly has positioned himself as a contender for 2028 but mostly because he was such a surprise and has that “presidential” demeanor that most TDS/Never Trumpers long for.
As for results in the first 6 months:
1. Russ Vought, OMB. He is directly responsible for enacting any and all DOGE type actions to date since Congress has proven to be worthless. All the federal firings, freezes, and cuts are thanks to this man’s actions. He was OMB for much or most of term 1 so knows the job. His interview with Tucker last November was an awesome listen, a peek behind the curtain of how the sausage is made. He knows what the frick he is doing and is the perfect man for the job.
2. Tom Homan, Border Czar (not technically a cabinet pick). He has spent most of his life with CBP/ICE in some form or fashion and securing the border and stopping the associated violence and death has been his mission for decades. He has seen the bodies and carnage that illegal smuggling leaves behind on both sides of the border and doesn’t hide his emotions about resolving it. Which makes him the perfect man for the job. A+ on his efforts and results given the resources and red tape he has had to work with. Also did a fantastic interview with Tucker earlier this year.
Honorable Mentions: Howard Lutnick and Scott Bessent for tariffs and other shite I am not smart enough to understand at a macro level. They both did interviews with All In podcast back in the spring and are must listens if you want to understand the meticulous planning that went into the 47 agenda (despite the media claimed chaos)

While not deserving of a nomination for best cabinet pick, Doug Burgum (Sec of Interior) primarily and Brooke Rollins (Sec of Ag) secondarily deserve recognition for their work on wildland firefighting.
1. Permanent pay increases for all permanent, temporary, and seasonal firefighters with additional pay bumps for certain units/respnses.
2. Coordination between DOI units (Parks, Tribal, Fish & Widllife, BLM) and USDA USFS on preparedness, fuel management, and response.
3. Plans for a new US Wildland Fire Service bringing all 17000 firefighters from across the DOI ad USFS under one agency for efficiency and effectiveness. This has been pushed for for decades within the fire community but nobody in leadership has ever had the balls to take action out of fear of failure and status quo.

Not cabinet, but I still must express my great pleasure with the job Tom Homan is doing.
Possibly the greatest appointment of my lifetime. Bro is a pitbull and absolutely fearless.
