Scott Jennings, a conservative-leaning contributor with CNN, stated on Wednesday that watching President-elect Donald Trump make his cabinet selections for the incoming administration has made this transition team “the most entertaining” one that he’s ever seen. And I have to agree with Jennings on this one. It’s an absolute pleasure to see Trump pick solid individuals for the positions within his administration, but the entertainment comes from watching liberal heads pop like balloons with each one he reveals.
The comments from Jennings were made during CNN’s “News Central” program, as Trump made a series of announcements on Wednesday afternoon. One of the biggest was Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz for Attorney General. Liberals just about blew a collective gasket over this appointment.
“Are you not entertained?” Jennings asked, quoting the popular film, “Gladiator,” according to The Daily Wire. “I mean, this is the most entertaining transition I’ve ever seen. I was as surprised as Paula because it was not a name we have seen. We have seen some reporting, a lot of different names, frankly a lot of sort of well-heeled Washington legal types that were on the list. So, I’m as surprised as anyone.”
“But what I take away from this is that this is a president-elect who is feeling his power,” he went on to add during the program. “This is someone who is appointing people to things, whether it is Gaetz or anyone else we have seen today, who is feeling his influence, doesn’t feel like he’s in a mood to negotiate with people in Washington, D.C. He’s here to do what he wants to do, and he is going to expect the Republicans to fall in line.”
Jennings then pointed out that the picks Trump is making will still have to go through confirmation hearings and “prove themselves like anyone else.” That’s a really good point. One has to wonder how much difficulty the president-elect’s picks will have getting confirmed with John Thune being elected as Senate Majority Leader in a secret ballot.
“But it is apparent to me that Trump is in a decisive mood and is not interested in picking things he would consider to be watered-down,” he said.

Trump is freed by this being his last term in the White House. He has nothing to lose by sticking to his principles. He doesn’t have to worry about being reelected. He can really go out there and implement his agenda and do what is best for the country without playing politics. And I think we’re going to see some big policies put in place that will repair our economy and preserve the Constitution.
