Report claiming to know Trump’s desired Cabinet and Melania’s pick for VP has Dems in meltdown mode

December 7, 2023 | | Print Article

The internet is on fire and the left is melting down following a new report that cites anonymous sources and claims to know which “loyalty first” supporters former President Donald Trump might tap to fill his Cabinet should he win the White House back in 2024.

One name that is allegedly Melania’s pick for Trump’s vice president is causing liberal heads to explode and conservative voters to cheer.

“Here’s an interesting twist: Melania Trump is an advocate for picking Tucker Carlson, the booted Fox News star,” Axios reports. “She thinks Carlson would make a powerful onstage extension of her husband, a source close to Trump told us. The former first lady has made few campaign appearances this time around — but a Trump-Carlson ticket might encourage her to hit the trail.”

“Former President Trump, if elected, would build a Cabinet and White House staff based mainly on two imperatives: pre-vetted loyalty to him and a commitment to stretch legal and governance boundaries, sources who talk often with the leading GOP presidential candidate tell Axios,” the outlet states.

“Trump would fill the most powerful jobs in government with men like Stephen Miller, Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio and Kash Patel — with the possible return of Steve Bannon,” Axios ominously warns. “If Trump won in 2024, he’d turn to loyalists who share his zeal to punish critics, purge non-believers, and take controversial legal and military action, the sources tell us.”

“It’s unclear who would land where, but make no mistake: These are specific prototypes of Trump Republicans who would run his government,” the outlet reports. “This is very different from the early days of his first term, when he was restrained by more conventional officials, from John Kelly to James Mattis to Gary Cohn.

“This time, it’d be all loyalists, no restraints.”

“You’re telling me that the person campaigning for President wants to put….people who supported him…. in office?” one user on X gasped in feigned surprise. “This has never been seen in the history of democracy.”

On the subject of a running mate, Axios reports:

Those who’d be considered include J.D. Vance, the “Hillbilly Elegy” author and a MAGA favorite; Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders; Kari Lake, a leading election denier now running for U.S. Senate in Arizona, and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem. (Vance might prefer to remain in the Senate as “Trump’s hammer,” we’re told.)

Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.), one of the few Black Republicans in Congress, has traveled with Trump on the campaign and would love to be V.P. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who lost her House committee assignments because she pushed baseless conspiracy theories, also gets mentioned.

 

To be considered for the job, the outlet professes, potential candidates must “prove” they “believe the 2020 election was stolen and that former Vice President Mike Pence wimped out by allowing its certification.”

“The idea of Tucker Carlson has been discounted by many people close to Trump because they assume he’d never pick someone who could outshine him,” Axios notes. “And Trump’s staff is convinced (correctly) that Carlson can’t be controlled. But the two men talk a lot.”

“Others likely to wield power in a second Trump term share a lot in common with Carlson,” according to Axios’s ghostlike sources. “They’re full, proud MAGA warriors, anti-GOP establishment zealots, and eager and willing to test the boundaries of executive power to get Trump’s way,”

“You mean he’d do what Biden has done?” exclaimed one user on X. “Oh the humanity.”

Stephen Miller — “the architect of Trump’s most controversial immigration plans in the first term” — could be named Attorney General, according to Axios.

And if Tucker Carlson gets his alleged way, Steve Bannon could be named White House Chief of Staff.

It’s all too much for Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) — who, for years, knowingly pushed the Russia hoax down the throats of those Americans who bothered to listen to him — to contemplate.

“This is what is at stake in 2024 & lurking behind every single thing the extreme MAGA GOP is doing,” he wrote in a fury of fear porn. “Don’t lose the plot in their chaos or we will lose our democracy.”

Meanwhile, many thinking individuals slammed Axios’ unsubstantiated reporting as a “hit piece.”

“We need some transparency in ‘journalism,'” said one user. “Who sponsored these articles? Who is paying Axios to do political hit pieces?”


Others pointed to the Democrats’ appointments and wondered what is wrong with “loyalty.”

“Loyalty is a bad thing? Should he choose based on race?” asked one user with an emoji chuckle. “That’s working really well right now.”
