Hard disagree on this. This has Trump's stench all over it. Every person being tapped for these positions is a Trump sycophant, and none of them are even remotely qualified to do the job he's trying to assign them.

I agree that Trump is not good at planning, well, anything. But none of this feels like a plan. It's all: "I like PersonX. I will hire them." If it feels like a very stupid, short-sighted, and childish thing, it's because Trump is a stupid, short-sighted child.

There is no plan for what happens if Gaetz doesn't get confirmed, just like there was no plan informing his selection of Gaetz. If Gaetz doesn't get confirmed, Trump will make a few all-caps posts on Truth Social, and then nominate another sycophant. He's got so many to choose from these days.
