Trump is going fully hard right now, on cruise control:
Tea Party war hawk Mike Pompeo nominated for top diplomat (oxymoronic). Tillerson was fired with a tweet yesterday as he was flying from Africa, as I mentioned here yesterday……..
Alleged supporter of Enhanced Interrogation/Rendition Gina Haspel to head the CIA……
Larry (Rah Rah Rah) Kudlow as chief Economic Adviser (but he can’t guarantee 4% GDP growth off CNBC programs)…….Here is how cavalierly Kudlow diagnosed the pre-crash economy of 2007: “What’s more, the entire market in sub-prime debt is just 1.4 percent of the global equity markets. On any given day, a 1.4 percent drop in world stocks would erase the same amount of value as the collective markdown of all sub-prime-backed bonds to $0. It’s just not that big a deal……”
Possibly chickenhawk/Vietnam evader John Bolton for National Security chief….
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman and Benyamin Netanyahu as Trump co-nominees for the Nobel Peace Prize…..
Kim Jong Un for ambassador to Pyongyang…… ?
Thomas Friedman as ambassador to the Court of Saint Saud in Riyadh…..?
Anthony Scaramucci is making the cable TV rounds again, whatever that means for now…..
It is Stormy Days at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue (pun intended)…….
Cheers
