You write: "Noem is the most extreme person Trump could have put in charge of DHS." I think you meant "Noem is NOT the most extreme ..." Not that it matters much anyway. There'll be a lot of folks competing for the crown, and Noem will probably be in the running.
I wonder how Congressional Republicans will feel when they're being pushed around by Musk and Ramaswamy (M&R), neither being politicians and both being arrogant. I wonder how M&R will react when they realize they can't simply fire Congressional Republicans, or anyone else for that matter. I wonder how they'll react when they realize that Trump is a lame duck from day one, and when he gives up on governing (in a couple of months) and returns to golf and grifting. I wonder how they'll react when it becomes obvious that their re-election hopes are going down the toilet as the results of what M&R will convince Trump to do are made clear and when M&R respond with "let them (voters) eat cake". I wonder how corporate CEOs will respond when Trump begins to tank the economy. How will the banks and other financial entities respond when Trump, who knows nothing, tries to control the Fed. Honestly, I think we'll see a lot of political sabotage, backstabbing, power grabs and lots and lots of leaks. Republicans already ignored Rick Scott (Trump's choice) and voted for Thune as Senate majority leader. Not that I like Thune, but Scott is worse. I don't think they'll give in to recess appointments and turn over their other means of leverage and control to M&R. Republicans will probably have a small majority in the House and if Trump pulls out any more of them to serve him that majority gets smaller until special elections are held for replacements which is a gamble. I can't wait to hear from MTG when she doesn't get a position in Trump's administration. She tends to be loud. Not only are Trump's nominees incompetent but they won't survive in the bureaucracies they'll try to run because they have no idea how these work, and how they can turn against you when they don't respect you. I wonder how the Pentagon will react to being told how to do things by a Fox News host. It's going to be ugly, and harmful, and it will implode.

Damn. Thank you. Will correct.
