Elaine Chao...GAG ME!
WOW...SO disappointed...this makes NO sense, except to kiss Mitch McConnell’s ass! His wife...Elaine Chao is an open border, amnesty loving Chinese immigrant...she’s the worst kind of globalist. That’s STRIKE TWO, DONALD...you’re almost OUT! But maybe she can’t screw up Transportation like she did the Labor Dept...when she wanted all illegals to have all the same rights as US workers, and worse!
BONE HEADED MOVE, MR. Trump.
Disagree. Mrs. McConnell won’t have anything to do with immigration, unless God forbid she becomes president a la that lame series starring Kiefer Sutherland. As Reagan said, “My 80% friend isn’t my 20% enemy”.
Have some faith.
Mrs. Submareener worked in Elaine Chao’s DOL. She told me that the bureaucrats were always complaining, while riding in the elevators, about her wanting “results” and how terrible that was. Actually, Mrs. Submareener was high enough up in the DOL hierarchy to be among the dozen or so who were invited to Elaine Chao’s dedication of the 9/11 memorial at the DOL HQ in Washington, DC. She also had lunch with her several times.
Mrs. Submareener is an extremely good judge of character, so when she says Elaine Chao is “good people”, it is good enough for me.
Also, catnipman made these good points on another thread: Chao is a brilliant appointment that joins the Senate Majority Leader to President Trump’s hip right from the gitgo, and nearly guarantees that Mitch delivers the entire GOP Senate to Trump on nearly every issue for four years.
Not to mention, the woman has excellent experience and credentials, and clearly has amazing political instincts and capabilities since she’s pretty much the power that’s pushed the Mitch throne into the forefront since she married him in 1993.
Also, do keep in mind that Cabinet heads exist SOLELY to carry out a President’s orders. Period. They’re like VPs in a corporation who exist solely to implement the CEO’s policy and philosophy. Their jobs are NOT to set policy and philosophy, but to IMPLEMENT policy and philosophy. They all know that when they’re appointed.
Trump has a plan. It is the best plan in 100 years.
He hasn’t done on thing wrong yet.
Tell me where he would find 4000 blue-blood Conservatives these days. We saw the GOPe and what it was made of, so it’s clear there aren’t 4000 people to fill the slots.
Trump will be implementing his policies, not Elaine Chao’s. She works for him, not the other way around. If she tries some of her past illegal immigrant nonsense, she’ll be observing this administration do it’s work from her home.
Trump is a no-nonsense leader, and he’s dealt with personalities for over 40 years, as a CEO.
This isn’t George Bush. This is Donald Trump.
He doesn’t have two strikes against him. These people haven’t worked for us before, but they were carrying out Bush policy the last time. Now they are going to be carrying out Trump policy.
He won’t stand for Chao going her own way. You can take that to the bank.
BTW: As Trump’s presidency moves along, remember these people who betrayed our cause in the past. As they do good things now, I want folks to remember that it is because Donald Trump is president, and giving them direction.
Some folks here are forever trying to give one person or another credit, when Trump scores big. I won’t stand still for it.
This is his administration, and whatever good or bad follows, is on him and nobody else, unless it’s crystal clear it was a Ryan or McConnell level infraction.
Jesus Christ, you drama nut.
Reason #148474 that its great that Trump took the anti-leftist movement away from this type of stupidity.
Chao is the transportation Sec., you clown.
I swear the right is its own worse enemy!
Three words-—Chao is a Republican, Asian, and Female. This isn’t about labor, illegal or otherwise. This is about finding the money to fix the roads and bridges. She will be ok doing the bookkeeping, and I seriously doubt if illegals will qualify for these jobs.
This pick sucks. I expect daily disappointments from Pres. Trump.
Yeah this pick and some of his rumored picks are starting to worry me. He doesn’t have to kiss McConnnell’s ass he needs to be kissing Trumps! He got the mandate not that turtle-headed ass.
Still, I’m still going to sleep better at night just knowing Sessions is running the DOJ.
