Prior to the election RFK Jr said he'd want a position not subject to Senate confirmation.RFK Jr is only remaining high profile Trump supporter not appointed yet to a position. Trump has been appointing fast and furious last few days so I’d expect something in next 48hrs.

He can't, he is an African immigrant.I wonder if Musk has his eye on 2028.
He's not interest in becoming president. His ambitions are far higher.I wonder if Musk has his eye on 2028.
I don't recall that he had a concern about the confirmation process. He wanted an advisory role not limited to one department.But if Trump does recess appointments....
He publicly told several people that Trump had promised him HHS, which is a cabinet position. I thought it was poor form to go around saying that. Even if Trump did tell him that, the proper thing to do is keep quiet until the nomination is actually made.I don't recall that he had a concern about the confirmation process.

If Trump shrinks the government and cleans out the Deep State including lots of prosecutions, it's going to be much harder for the EU countries to keep up their old ways.The difference I'm expectations between Trump and Biden is absolutely staggering. Biden entered with no expectations placed on him at all, apart from some BLM nonsense that quickly disappeared once it was no longer useful.
Trump's impact could truly be global.
What El Salvador achieved puts pretty much every western and latin American country to shame. That truly was revolutionary.If Trump shrinks the government and cleans out the Deep State including lots of prosecutions, it's going to be much harder for the EU countries to keep up their old ways.
You have El Salvador, Argentina, and now the US undergoing a rapid shift in governmental policy, almost a revolution.
If Trump succeeds, the US won't be the last to see this happen.
It really was. They had one thing going for them, which was that all the bad guys have tattoos identifying them. As I understand it, Bukele had the army round up everybody with tattoos, and threw them in a high security prison for life without trial. That's a ballsy, high stakes step for government to take, but in this case the results were brilliant.What El Salvador achieved puts pretty much every western and latin American country to shame.

It is amazing what social proof does in these circumstances, too.It really was. They had one thing going for them, which was that all the bad guys have tattoos identifying them.

The full body molasses coloured tattoo?It really was. They had one thing going for them, which was that all the bad guys have tattoos identifying them.

What he did was extra-judicial, but because the tattoos gave the gang members away, I believe it truly was just. If anybody is in those prisons but never did anything wrong, they're still guilty by association of being accomplices to the crimes of the others. There are probably still other guilty people running around who didn't get the tattoos for some reason, but those people know now to stay on the straight and narrow path, or else!
Most countries, including the US have no equivalent way to identify who gets rounded up. If a mass round up was attempted, it must inevitably include a great deal of injustice. That being said, I'd be willing to see strict 1 or 2 strikes you're out laws applied for all felonies and all but the lowest misdemeanors after conviction in court.
Yea I agree that it's difficult to apply to places like Europe or the US. A conservative government could punish criminals who get caught red-handed more severely. However, this would get abused at some point where people would end up in prison for life for hate speech or not using the right pronouns.It really was.
