Get used to it
Since the election of Donald Trump, there has been much wringing of hands and gnashing of teeth as the new administration takes shape. Alarm bells have been sounded over Trump’s picks for cabinet secretaries, ambassadors, and many other government officials.
A good example is the choice of Kristi Noem for head of the Department of Homeland Security. You know, the one who shot her dog. Trump is rewarding friends, relatives, FOX TV commentators and particularly those who support The Big Lie that he won the 2020 election.
Here’s the point: The American people (along with the Electoral College) elected Trump. They will expect him to keep his promises. They don’t seem overly concerned about the demise of the Constitution, our democratic form of government or anything else that has historically defined the United States.
Well, that is what the Trumpers have bought and paid for. The rest of us will just have to wait and go along for the ride.
