What’s so radical about a president having smart people in his cabinet?

Now, I don't want to get ahead of myself, because then I'll just be staring at my own ass. But what if Trump wins? Who will he invite to join his pirate ship of merry extremists? What about Elon Musk? This week, former Navy SEAL Shawn Ryan said that Musk has expressed interest in being part of a second Trump administration. Do he and Elon have a great relationship? Is he brilliant? Is he a total oddball? And should we value genius?

TRUMP: Elon and I have a great relationship. He's a great guy. He's a totally different guy. You know Elon? He's a great guy, he's a smart guy. We have to value geniuses. You know, there aren't that many of them, right?

He's right. It takes a genius. But Trump vs. Musk is like that video of an owl making friends with a lion. I love these unexpected showdowns.

But would Trump appoint Musk to his Cabinet?

TRUMP: I definitely want him in the Cabinet, but I don't see how he can do that with all the problems he has right now. But he can, so to speak, “consult with the country and come up with some very good ideas.”

He's right. Musk could bring a lot of good ideas to the table. Plus, it'll be interesting to see how many government employees he gets pregnant. But if you don't think Musk is the right choice, remember he runs X and Tesla and launches rockets. The only thing Biden is known to have launched was an underwear rocket after drinking a metamucil smoothie. Have you seen Biden's employers? They seem to send headhunters to Star Wars bars. So what's so radical about a president having smart people in his cabinet? It would be a nice change from the Biden-Harris White House, which is more like a soundproof room than a cabinet.

Think about it. Mayor Pete, Blinken, Raimondo, Cardona, Garland, Mayorkas. It's as if they found these people in the roommate wanted section of Craigslist. But Trump should treat his cabinet like Ocean's 11. Assemble the most elite team of talented people from multiple disciplines, hire the best CEOs and other great thinkers instead of lifelong politicians. Do the exact opposite of Biden's clown show, where Biden valued diversity instead of talent and didn't care about the end result.

And it seems Trump already thinks so. Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr. are already on the White House transition team. Two former Democrats working for Trump is akin to Democrats like Maxine Waters joining the Aryan Brotherhood. Welcome. And it seems the two are saying they'll contribute their areas of expertise to the Trump campaign. For RFK, maybe chronic illness, law reform, or how to get abs. And for Tulsi, maybe foreign policy?

It would be nice to have a Secretary of State who would bring peace without leaving a trail of unfortunate suicides. But who else could Trump appoint? Joe Rogan, Mike Rowe, Dana White, Bill Ackman, Kid Rock? How about Larry Kudlow for Treasury Secretary? He's smarter than Janet Yellen and his hair was provided by Tupperware. Judge Janine could be Attorney General. Finally, Gerald could be deported. Vivek, right? He could be Secretary of State. What better way to reflect America than outsourcing important jobs to Indians? Tyrus could be head of Homeland Security. He's good enough to be Homeland Security.

Kat can be Secretary of the Interior because she never leaves her house. Kilmeade can be head of the Department of Transportation. After all, his career is a disaster. How about Pete Hegseth, head of VA? You know he'll follow the Constitution if he has it tattooed on his arm. And me? What do I do? I'll probably get a new job as Secretary of Muscle. That's right. You won't be fooled, you'll be fooled. Look, we already have the makings of the most anti-establishment president in history.

So let's start there and create a band of hilarious, unpredictable, maybe even eccentric rogues with a particular talent. Let's build the perfect pirate ship. And isn't that exactly how this country was founded? Founded by rebels and scoundrels, not arrogant, self-serving insiders and bureaucrats? Our Founding Fathers were not on the side of the establishment.

They were rebels, brave men, and playboys. They made the Ocean's 11 crew look like the kids from Cars 4 Kids. What if we modeled our cabinet after them? It could be a lot worse. In fact, I've seen a lot worse up close. In short, our Founding Fathers were not people who got along with others. If that were true, we'd still be speaking English.
