I feel like I’m not a big fan of many of these appointments. Not that I’m surprised
You have a very strange upside opinion of Donald Trump given we have seen Donald Trump irl once already….

One of the main reasons Trump 1.0 wasn’t great was because he stocked his cabinet with neocons and beltway pubs, and really didn’t do anything to “drain the swamp,” which is what he ran on. He was decent ln warmongering/international relations, despite that.
The hope is/was that this time around perhaps he’d learned his lesson, and would actually do those things and not bring in a bunch of the same type of people; the John Bolton of the world. The early returns are mediocre at best.
Do I prefer it to the alternative, especially one that gained the endorsement of the Dick and Liz Cheney’s of the world? Yes.
Could Trump 2.0 also be a big nothing-burger or go horribly? Yes.
Time will tell.
