Should Trump win in '24 (assuming he wins by a margin big enough to overcome blatant democrap cheating, i.e. mail in ballots, machine cheating, ballot dumps, etc., and assuming he's going to go after the democraps for doing to them what they are doing to him:
1) Where does he find enough HONEST people (not owned, incorruptible, unbribeable) people to run the departments necessary to do this? Do they even exist any more? Who would Trump appoint to run the FBI? DOJ? Who does he appoint as the AG who would have the cajones necessary to get the job done?
2) How many republicans (RINO'S) currently in the Senate and House will back him and I don't just mean getting mad, pounding a table and promising "investigations" (Looking at you Linda), but actual action..
3) How does he prevent leaks?
4) Who does he appoint VP who will carry on his agenda in the event deep state goes Kennedy on Trump?
I don't know. Maybe it's just me, but I don't think he can find enough people NOT owned by the deep state who will serve the interests of America and the American people to do what must be done.
As much as I want to see the squad, Pelosi, Shiff, Cheney and the rest perp walked, I don't see it.
In the wise words of George Carlin, "It's a big club, and we ain't in it".
Sorry, but Trump will make the same disastrous picks as he did before. Starting with his VP and on down the line.
COjones.
(CAjones means drawers, like a chest of drawers.)
Your post sums up the problem quite accurately.
As with his first term, it will be an ongoing problem for both him and anyone with similar intentions in the future. The “Establishment “ is very well entrenched.
sorry, it’s early (I’m retired, I wake up late)..
It's not you. The Deep State restricted him in his previous term. They'll do it again.
That said, Trump did a good job at getting most of his agenda done. Here's hoping he does an even better job next time.
Your concern about Trump appointees is well justified. The appointment of Jeff Sessions really started things going downhill for the Trump administration. When Sessions did not tell Trump he would be recusing himself of this Russiagate mess, that started it all.
Ted Cruz, Jim Jordan, Ron Johnson, Josh Hawley are about the only people who come to mind as far as being trustworthy. Hopefully there are more, but I can’t think of many.
Lindsey Graham needs to stay as far away from the White House as possible. He is as duplicitous as they come.

Omarosa is free I hear.
Trump is going to have to concede some selections to the Deep State and RINOs. It’s a given.
I would take Haley as my VP pick, fire every agency head and their deputy and move someone else from that agency over, after a polygraph. The Haley pick is the Deep State selection and as VP, she can’t do much more damage than Pence.
Also, I would do what Obama did and appoint loyal Czars to run whatever needs to be backfilled. No need to take it to committee for votes. Obama is the precedent.
He needs to got to the states find the talented and honest mid to upper level managers at agencies. A few do exist.
He can go to senior military fired over not getting the vaxx.
He needs to go to fellow billionaires who support him and ask them to allow him to raid their top talent.
He can bring in talented white South Africans.
I somewhat disagree. I had reservations about other Trump picks before Sessions that IMHO were obvious (i.e. Pence as VP). But Jeff Sessions had to be the biggest let down because Sessions was probably the Trump pick that had the most street cred in conservatism, especially with his work as US Senator on closing the border and his work as Alabama AG on ending state govt corruption and all but shutting down nationally the KKK (as Alabama AG and before that as US attorney under Reagan after the Dims blocked Sessions for judge). If Sessions of all people couldn't be trusted I have a problem trusting any of Trump's picks.
LOL! I am, and do, too :-)
Let’s be clear. Trump had to pick from a poor lot first time around because so many swamp-savvy, who knew how the DC system works, refused to be a part of his administration. They knew what was in store from the uniparty.
Beyond that, I agree, who can he trust? Who can WE trust? He can’t do it alone, against a united front of vested interests, an antagonistic media establishment, a feckless shell of a GOP Caucus in the House, a Senate in a uniparty world of their own, a judiciary laced with rogues, sociopaths and worse.
An old folk question asks, when does a cucumber become a pickle? I’m afraid we are already pretty well pickled.
I have reservations due to DJT's prior experience choosing cabinet members and other admin. officials.
Ben Carson has been floated as the VP pick.
I would be OK with him.
Haley is a snake.
Good questions.
Turn off Fox and CNN and check MAGA alternative sources. There a MANY MAGA people out there that are ready to step up.
I think Trump has learned that lesson. You and others should too.
I had to think about that one.
It never stops being a cucumber. It just becomes a pickled one.
For an answer to 1), he should populate all DOJ and FBI appointments with cops from around the country that work in Internal Affairs departments.
He should also fire all management in DOJ and FBI as possible (i.e. employee not under union protection) and replace with IA folks as well.
