Don’t know about VP..but Trumps cabinet should be anyone who solidly stood by him..and stood up for him. There must be at least a dozen such individuals?
Anyone else can’t be trusted not to sabotage him...or us for that matter.
I agree generally with this sentiment, but remember that Trump's very first Cabinet pick was Jeff Sessions for Attorney General. Sessions was the first person to stand by Trump when he was campaigning, but he was weak-willed and was easily sidelined by the opposition to Trump.
The difference between now and 2016 is that President Trump now has personal knowledge of the players -- something he didn't have in 2016 and relied on the wrong people to advise him. Trump also had a GOP Senate caucus that distrusted him and wouldn't let him freely make nominations.
2024 would be a different landscape for Trump. The Senate should be less of an issue this time (McConnell is becoming feeble, and the politics of defying Trump more dangerous for Senate Republicans this time around).
Trump needs fighters in the Cabinet, but also fighters who are younger and less apt to be burdened with a ledger of "IOUs" that are still owed to lobbyists, donors, and others responsible for putting them into office in the first place.
