2. Gaetz is confirmed by Trump through recess appointment
The Senate approval process ensures there is a check and balance on presidential power, as per the US Constitution.
But there is a mechanism in which Trump could bypass tradition to appoint Gaetz as attorney general without a Senate vote.
Trump has already applied pressure on the next Senate Majority leader to allow him to make recess appointments so he can fast-track positions without Senate approval.

“Any Republican Senator seeking the coveted LEADERSHIP position in the United States Senate must agree to Recess Appointments (in the Senate!), without which we will not be able to get people confirmed in a timely manner,” Trump wrote in a social media post on X on Sunday before John Thune was confirmed as the next majority leader Wednesday, replacing the outgoing Mitch McConnell.
Recess appointments would allow Trump to make administration appointments without a vote in the Senate while the upper chamber is in recess. The process is not unconstitutional, and it has been done before by other administrations.
Bill Clinton made 139 recess appointments while in the White House, and Barack Obama made 32. George W. Bush made 171, ABC noted, according to the Congressional Research Service.

Rumors are there was a trade for Thune to get leadershipo and allowing recess appointments was one of them.

Things won't be cheaper until governement is corrected. That means policy and bad actors.

Nothing is going to be done illegally and behind closed doors like in the Biden regime and the 'resistance' during Trump term 1.
Everything will be adjudicated in open sessions so the American people understand the levels of how weaponized the governent was the past two decades.
When America sees all the evidence on Russiagate/J6/2020 the mandate will grow.

Lets completely ignore that Russiagate was a complete fabrication to first stop Trump from getting elected and then nullify his presidency.
I thikn even you believe Russiagate was a complete hoax at this point.
How much damage did that do to the nation and the world? And nobody should be held accountable?
