Something just occurred to me.

I have always wondered why Schlump picked RFK Jr of all people to be a member of his cabinet. I assumed they cut a deal prior to the election so that RFKJ would not run as an independent and split the anti-Harris vote between him and Trump, and that still makes sense to me. But I couldn't help wondering if that was the whole story.

Just now, thinking about the Orange One's recent attack on the Kennedy Center, the thought popped into my head that his making Bobby part of his cabinet must also have been a great big middle finger to the Kennedy Family. What you all think of this theory? No one but Schlump would be that petty, of course, but no one is as petty as the King of Petty!

Of course that didn't satisfy him, so he went after the Kennedy Center. That's because Schlump is a hollow man and nothing will ever satisfy him for more than 5 consecutive minutes.

as I remember it. Yes they cut a deal. RFK Jr endorsed him and got a Cabinet post out of it.

He and Jill Stein still got about 1.2 M votes which is part of the reason Trump didn’t get a majority of the national vote 48.5%

And to destroy an American icon.

Anything the American people love and respect must be destroyed.

Trump picked his cabinet to do the most harm to the government.

Intentionally.

Much of it for personal spite, but also on behalf of a coalition working to cheat, exploit, deceive and occasionally kill the People.
