Even Our God Emperor Makes Mistakes

I am full MAGA, but it doesn't mean our lord emperor is beyond criticism. I can't help but agree with what Mark Levin said today on his show. He pointed out the following:
Jared Kushner is a liberal Democrat and has zero qualifications to essentially be a deputy Sec of State. The only reason he is around is because he married Ivanka. Kushner has never accomplished anything on his own, but inherited a lot of money from his dad (who was indicted for numerous white collar crimes).
Gary Cohn is a liberal Democrat and a former Goldman Sachs executive. He has no business being anywhere near Trump's economic council. I don't care if he and Trump are friends, it doesn't make him a good choice. Cohn is one of the guys who has Trump's ear and is pushing him to embrace the idiotic carbon tax.
Steve Mnuchin is a liberal Democrat. Like Cohn, he is an old Goldman Sachs guy. Mnuchin is running the Treasury department.
Now, I am sure Goldennugget is not happy with these guys for obvious reasons, but I don't care about that as much. IMO, if we can get some of the dirtiest, most obnoxious, investment banking New York Jews to do our bidding, that would be great. The problem is I am not so sure they are on our side. I do not doubt they understand Wall Street inside and out, but I am more concerned about other policies they might push on Trump that have nothing to do with economics or finance (things like the carbon tax).
As Levin pointed out about these guys (who are his kinsmen), they are not conservatives. In fact, Trump doesn't seem to have a single conservative anywhere in his cabinet other than Bannon (and Bannon is more of a populist than a traditional constitutionalist). And even Bannon is being marginalized now because all the liberal Dems around him want him out.
Do these appointees bother any other MAGAs here? Would you prefer more than just one conservative as an adviser to Trump?

MAGA isn't even trying to live up to promises.
He sucks.
He sucks.

I will say that Trump has a problem with placing too much of an emphasis on loyalty to a point where it becomes counterproductive.
However......

This is just wrong.
Kushner was pretty much responsible for building the data mining and digital operation that let the Trump campaign know that Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin was in play and they could win them if they made enough of an effort there. Not only that, he built one hell of a fundraising apparatus using social media and it was very very effective and bypassed a lot of traditional small money fundraising.
For all of that, he made a great hire in Brad Parscale who helped him build that up from the very ground.
Without Kushner's efforts doing that, we're burning in hell right now with a second Clinton in the Oval Office.

Yes. And the libs are now putting that whole story into a conspiracy theory. They claim that Kushner, using Cambridge Analytica, passed on the names on the voter rolls to Russian intelligence who then targeted Michigan and Wisconsin with localized anti-Hillary propaganda.

You see that's the thing, when you win the Presidential election, you get to pick your own cabinet. Levin and all the other uber-cons can frick right off.
Trump needs people he can trust more than any of a certain ideology. Each side is attacking him, case in point: Levin.

You forgot one.
Trump is a democrat. As I have been saying all along. Makes perfect sense he is surrounding himself with fellow travelers.

Levin is my least favorite of the big 3 radio hosts. He can be annoying with his rants. But sometimes he has a point.

I don't get why people think Trump ran as an economic conservative. He did not. He ran on big spending on infrastructure, tax REFORM (NOT reductions), better health care still overseen by the government. So it is not surprising his advisers are not economic conservatives. Even Bannon isn't all that conservative from what I know.

he can also lose the support of people who voted for him
and get "fired" in 4 years

The delusion is strong with this one.

Glad more people are coming around on Kushner. I hated him from the get go. Both he and Ivanka are liberal leftists.
The problem with Cohn and Mnuchin is that treasury officials have to be pre-approved by them. They will never be confirmed otherwise. The banks run the treasury, not the executive branch. So any treasury officials have to be OK with the banks and globalists. Hence why we always get the same types of people in those positions.

Just lower the bar ........again.
Then say "MAGA!", then "Melt!", then spin around three times and your back to blissful ignorance.

So you are admitting you don't like them because they are Jewish, but it's just not as much as goldennugget doesn't like them?
