If I’ve learned something in my time working with hardcore repugnants they give zero fucks about actual skill. In no particular order, these are what they hire based on…

Looks
-
Ass-kissing
-
Banging the boss
-
Being related or at least BFFs with someone

Bribes

I wonder if any of Trump’s supporters remember that his original 2016 campaign leant heavily on the idea that he was great at hiring people, and would replace the swamp with a team of the country’s best and most highly qualified people?

Supporting Trump was always about making MAGA feel good about themselves, feels not reals. Trump’s actual policy outcomes almost never mattered.
Perhaps the main policy point of Trump was anti foreign adventure, alongside being anti-immigration and anti-inflation. And now Trump has started an optional war in Iran which is arguably even stupider than Bush II’s Iraq War. Which has caused inflation to sky-rocket. And the national debt is spiraling out of control. And yet, 76% of Republicans still approve of Trump. I don’t think most people realize how literally insane the loyalty of the Republican voter base is.

Which is typical for fascism. It’s only about appealing to the emotions of the masses to gain popularity and thus power.

The % is a little misleading though. The total # of people who self- identify as Republican has also been shrinking (true with people who self-identify as democratic too). More and more people self-identify as independent. Most of the data I have looked at stop at 2023-2025 though, so who knows what it’d look like today after the fiasco this administration has been in 2026.

Republicans are still projected to get something like 40-50% of the votes next election. Given how much the Republican party is the party of Trump, pretty much every vote for a Republican is a vote for Trump. All the Republicans who opposed Trump have already been primaried out at this point.
What actual policies does the Republican party even stand for, at this point? “No new wars”? Economic responsibility? Preserving freedom and democracy? Small government? Real Christian values like helping the poor? Preserving the status quo? Free market capitalism? Free speech? No, they stand for Trump and racism, and nothing else.
So while you can (rightfully) quibble about the specific % I mentioned being misleading, the underlying Trump support is huge.

I personally believe, that, US americans are unable to do so because some people out there in our nation don’t have the answer and I believe that our education like such as South Africa, and the Iraq, everywhere like such as, and I believe that they should our education over here in the US should help the US, it should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children.
Amen.
1 dayHow little vetting must have gone into the decision? Dubious claims of being an attorney aside, if they had done any sort of mock press conference her complete lack of public speaking ability should have been evident.
I don’t want to stick up for Ivanka since she is a garbage person but Katie looks like Temu Ivanka. Or like if you were going to make a porn that’s thinly veiled Ivanka fanfic. I’m not even a fashion girlie but that girl looks kind of a mess. Like she just rolled out of bed, smeared on some brows without her glasses and stumbled up to the podium. Don’t get me wrong, their insides will always be the ugliest insides ever, but those outsides are no prize. I’ve legit seen junkies on the onramp who looked more put together.

Trump isn’t a fashion person. He doesn’t care about fashion or how “put together” she looks. She’s a thin, blonde, white woman with similar enough features to his daughter. Close enough for Trump

Trump isn’t a fashion person.
I mean, have you seen the way he dresses?
She has maralago face. A super high end one, but it’s like looking at a robot.
Now that you mention it, I saw a junkie outside the WAWA In Ft Lauderdale that was way hotter, but emotionally the same kind of mess probably

She actually wore a coat that said “I don’t really care, do you?” if I recall
The vetting is Does she look like Trumps daughter Will she let Trump fuck her
That’s pretty much it

Background checks at fast food restaurants are more thorough than the vetting process that goes into Whitehouse staff in this admin. Would not be surprised if it’s chock full of spies.

In a sane world after all the “fallout” from finding out they did zero vetting with a lot of iSSe goons you’d think they’d start doing a tad better for higher profile positions.
But then again in a sane world iSSe wouldn’t exist and this orange kid diddler would be fucking locked up in jail

I think it comes from the conservative mindset that someone competent and capable in one field will be similarly competent and capable in other fields
Simply put: They believe in a hierarchy. Some people are imherently better at everything than others
She was competent and capable in her previous role of being an ass kisser. Because she was able to butter Trump up, it was assumed she would be good at any role, and she had “the look” Trump wanted (she looked like his daughter)

It’s just “is she hot”, that’s all they care about. Also, their idea of hot is terrifying.

If you wm has skills for this job (or maybe you already do) would you be willing to apply of the last person quit because the president used her as decoy when there was a real threat.
I think only dumb people would still be interested. Looks like they had to wait to even find her.

Three days. She didn’t work Monday, and she was fired this morning, so I don’t think she worked today.
