With Immunity, Executive Order privileges , Supreme Court majority, Reshaping government structure through Schedule F, Reestablishing Impoundment, etc etc. Everyone needs to ask themselves if this is what they really want for the country?

What does that say about Trump hiring all the best people who end up creating something like Project 2025? Which he then had to "distance" himself from. Either he lied then, is lying now, or his judgement is extremely poor.

What made Joe Mcentee qualified for the position of PPO director? Or Steven Bannon qualified for an advisory role? Isn't this same group against someone less qualified getting a position due to diversity? Is diversity ala skin color or gender the only issue then when it comes to qualification?

They won't want to hear any of that. That only matters if it's race so they can say DEI.

Thing is, what they do need to hear as well as anyone else who is eligible to vote in this upcoming election. If this becomes the new precedent. Eventually there will be a time when Trump is no longer around. There may be a new person set to take office. And this persons views may be radical to you, and may not exactly aligning with the views of the same public that allowed this to become the new precedent.

That's one I don't understand at all about MAGA. Trump wants to give the position of President so much more power...but what if they win, and even from their perspective the next president in 2028 is someone they hate like Newsom or AOC or something? Do they then want that person to have all that power?

It feels like all they care about is the next 4 years because that's all Trump cares about.

You mean the same powers that Biden has right now?

While Biden has Immunity(Though Immunity for Biden and Immunity for Trump aren't the same based on character). As well as Executive Order.
The concern is more so the combination of:
-Holding a favorable Supreme Court that pushes GOP agenda
-The reinstatement of Schedule F, an executive authority that would change the classification of as many as 50,000 federal workers to political appointees in civil service.
Trump imposed Schedule F on Oct. 21, 2020. Biden repealed it on Jan. 22, 2021.
-Side stepping the Impoundment Control Act, Impoundment is an act by a President of the United States of not spending money that has been appropriated by the U.S. Congress

Trump only being about Trump would mostly just do whatever to further enrich himself and his family. But the people he hands positions of power to with real agenda...
