Trump 2.0 cabinet picks just hit my phone and I almost dropped my burrito. I’m in a greasy spoon off U Street, salsa on my sleeve, staring at the screen like it owes me money. RFK Jr. for Health? Elon whispering in ears? My stomach does a flip. Welcome to my mess.
The Picks That Made Me Choke on Coffee
I’m nursing burnt diner coffee when the RFK news lands. I cough, splatter the table. The waitress glares. I deserve it. Back in 2020 I skipped a flu shot because “research.” Dumb. Now the guy who fueled that vibe might run HHS. Trump second term power moves don’t play.
- RFK Jr. – Anti-vax hero to cabinet villain (or savior). I’m torn.
- Susie Wiles – Chief of staff. She’s the adult in the room, maybe.
- Tulsi Gabbard – DNI? My ex texts “told you so” at 3 AM. I ignore.
I check Politico’s live tracker between bites. Names keep dropping. Each one a gut punch.
Power Moves I Didn’t See Coming
Last night I’m on my couch, socks mismatched, TV muted on Fox. Text from a Hill buddy: “Vivek to Commerce?” I laugh so hard I snort beer. Then I Google. Not funny anymore. These Trump administration shakeup moves are chess, not checkers. I’m still playing tic-tac-toe.
I once interned for a senator who swore loyalty oaths over donuts. Watching that machine crumble in 2016 broke something in me. Now Trump 2.0 cabinet picks rebuild it—different bricks, same swamp smell. I hate that I’m curious.
Shockwaves Hitting My Actual Life
Rent’s due. My freelance gig pays late. If Scott Bessent lands Treasury and markets freak, my invoices might bounce. Political shockwaves 2025 aren’t abstract—they’re my grocery budget. I refresh Axios like a junkie.
Pro tip: Keep a “what-if” fund. I learned after 2020 when gigs vanished. Start with $20. Feels stupid. Saves sanity.
Why I’m Still Watching
I should log off. Instead I’m doom-scrolling in a bar toilet stall—classy. The MAGA cabinet drama is reality TV with nukes. I hate-watch, hate-love, hate myself for caring. America, baby.
Look, Trump 2.0 cabinet picks are a circus and I bought a front-row ticket with my anxiety. Some moves scare me, some spark hope, all of them keep me awake. That’s the ride.
Drop your wildest guess below—what cabinet pick will break the internet next? I’ll buy the first correct guess a virtual beer. Let’s yell about it together.
