Trump's Cabinet

[Expect2Win]

I haven't heard this speculation anywhere so I will ask here.
I know they said Trump picked JD because Jr and Eric thought a Rubio would look to undermine him and take over after he pushed the 25th amendment.
Is it possible he is trying to staff the cabinet with as many people who could not get those jobs if it weren't for him, so they will not be willing to stab him in the back with the 25th.
Or is it possible that he just went down Comet Ping Pong and said no reason to do this stuff here, when we can all be in the White House together?

Trump, before the election:

"I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they’re saying and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal...I have nothing to do with them.”

Yesterday:

Trump set to appoint Project 2025 architect Russ Vought to Office of Management and Budget​

and the MAGA believed him.

Again.

And he is a great choice!!!

You do understand that the Heritage Foundation has been putting out a set of conservative policies each presidential cycle since about 1980. They outline a common sense vision for the future of our country.

At some point in time damn near every republican has had a paper included

It’s a great day for our country
MAGA!!!

Let me jump in before the other. Are you in a cult Magat?

Nope,,,a cult is normally a very small group of people following some fringe belief.

When a group has well over 75 million members it would have to qualify as a mainstream movement

The fact that you think the 75 million people who voted for him are true Trumpists is funny. 75 million voted for him. A significantly smaller number of those 75 million are true believer types. Do you sincerely think that all of the people that voted for Harris voted for her because they were fully and truly on board with her and her message as a candidate? Some were, but, likewise, it was significantly less than the total number of votes.

Also, just academically speaking, there are other definitions beyond the first one listed in the dictionary. For your intellectual edification, here are two that easily fit:

a misplaced or excessive admiration for a particular thing: the cult of the pursuit of money as an end in itself.

a person or thing that is popular or fashionable among a particular group or section of society: the series has become a bit of a cult in the UK | [as modifier] : a cult film | the program built up a cult following.

In this case, it’s a group of people so enamored with celebrity that they believe the fantasy presented in a reality show was real. It’s not shocking that his popularity among the WWE set is overwhelming.

I have neighbors so infatuated by this fraud they have had signs and flags out for him for five years.
When those signs deteriorate they spend money on new ones. If he says an election was rigged or Putin is a good guy or immigrants are eating pets that belief becomes part of who they are. They question nothing he says. That’s a cult no matter how many millions it involves. Blinded is a member.

Cults usually have harmful intentions. Politics aside, would that fit a group of people that:
Supported and vehemently pushed for the at will mass murdering of a specific group of individuals in a populace?
Advocated for and financially supported the bodily mutilation of mentally ill individuals, even to allow minors to hide it from their parents.
I started to go on about the support of a mentally incompetent person for president and then accuse maga supporters of the same, policies that have caused an economic disaster, policies that allowed thousands of people to invade our country illegally and then shipped them to places to change the voting populace of swing states. But I'll stick to the first two points because they are pure evil and the others can be debated.

Sorry, I was being sarcastic and acting like Veer and Toots and just calling you a cultist.

You can't claim to want rational debate when you take an extreme view of the other group's positions.
"vehemently pushed for the at-will mass murdering"? Who was doing that? I assume you were talking about abortion, but I don't ever remember any Democrat this cycle or really any at all calling for abortions.
Same with "Advocated for the bodily mutualation of mentally ill and to allow minors to hide it from their parents." I have shortened what you wrote because there is some legitimacy to some of it, but then you go a step beyond what is legit.
I don't think anyone is calling for minors to be able to have surgery without parental consent. I think there are some who want hormone treatments and others, but not actual surgery.
