"My god, I am actually shocked how many smart people on this website think the Gaetz nomination is some clever ploy to get him out of Congress or set up a second, less extreme nomination.
Are you guys still this thick? Trump picked Gaetz because the first time he was elected his own FBI and DOJ investigated him, and then after he left office Biden's DOJ investigated him, and he wants to stick it to the "deep state" and get a loyalist inside a department that has "wronged him" for eight years.
This isn't complicated. That's his view. He is throwing the grenade in to see what happens. This is how he governs, for better or worse.
Do I think Gaetz gets through? I have no idea. Probably not. But Trump is DEFINITELY going to try. He is not tee'ing Gaetz up to get thrown out and he's not just going to fold the nomination because freaking Susan Collins feigns upset. I can't believe we are still doing this, genuinely. It would be an incredible coup for him to have someone like Gaetz leading the DOJ. He's going for it.
This isn't a ploy. It's not chess. He's showing you his move and saying "bring it." He's testing the boundaries. They will appoint him if they can. Same with Tulsi and Hegseth."
And
And you'd be fine with that, no matter who the president was?
I am 100% glad trump is potus. No question in my mind he was the better option. However, Gaetz is a terrible appointment. There is a reason almost no one has come out with enthusiastic support for him and why even some trump supporting senators have been less than enthusiastic when asked about confirmation.
I would love for this to be a slight of hand where trump is sending him out to be a sacrificial lamb to get others through, but I just don't see that being the case since he resigned from congress. I guess trump could be holding a lesser appointment for him, but that doesn't play to well for Gaetz take a lesser appointment after not being confirmed for AG.

He will be confirmed as a recess appointment as payback for the lawfare against Trump. DOJ needs to be thoroughly cleaned. Democrats had their turn and now Maga gets their turn. Can the DOJ get any worse? They raided a former Presidents home and sniffed Melania's underwear. I Think Gaetz will do just fine.
The knife cuts both ways. No crying libs.
No, but Democrats stomped on the norms with their admin so I am ok with it.
Should have thought through the lawfare before commencing.
None of this contradicts he is a terrible, unqualified appointment.
The DOJ being terrible and needing an enema has zero bearing on if he is qualified. All of those things could be accomplished, likely more easily, without an absolutely terrible and unqualified person as AG. It's a joke.
Defending everything trump does just because he did it is asinine and destroys credibility. Trump makes mistakes just like everyone else. This is one of them.
Love hearing all you libs losing your minds.
Hammer time. Trump will do it too if required.

How Donald Trump Could Bypass Congress To Install Matt Gaetz As Attorney General
No president has fully tested the constitutional powers to bypass Congress to staff his administration.
Not losing my mind at all. Just laugh at how stupid you are.
You'll be losing your mind and your hubris when he succeeds on destroying this country from within. But enjoy the afterglow from owning the libs.
You can't accomplish that with Matt Gaetz as the Attorney General and a whackadoodle conspiracy theorist heading up the HHS.
We all need to forget about past history we have lived through and how things have always worked.
We are going back to the “original constitution.”
As KiKi wisely put it.
There was no such thing as a “Senate Majority Leader.”
The Vice President runs the Senate.
The President’s agenda is what will get voted on and JD Vance will see to it.
Boom!!
Well we now know what the “little secret” was that Trump was talking about at the rally.
Trump had already tapped Gaetz as his AG.
And it is going to happen.
Gaetz is going to be the next AG. That’s why he gave up his House seat.
Nobody saw this coming.
Guess what movie is playing right now!!
Get your popcorn friends.
There have to be scores of Trump-Loyal lawyers who are not sex offenders and who actually are competent prosecutors.
I trust he will pick one after 4+ Senators shoot this down.
Woman testified to House Ethics Committee that Gaetz had sex with her when she was 17: Sources
The woman at the center of the DOJ's probe of Matt Gaetz testified to the House Ethics Committee that he had sex with her when she was 17 years old, sources say.
That's not what I was responding to. I was talking about his qualifications for the job.
I’d love for someone to run for office on a platform where each person’s vote is adjusted for their IQ. Your vote counting the same as mine is an injustice.
Regardless of his resume, what it’s all equaled up to is sad. The guy is a fraud.
Lousy pick.
Who knows if he was the right pick but he's a good dude whose done a hell of a lot of good in this world. I like him.
