Donald Trump is spending political capital on Matt Gaetz, personally calling GOP senators to support his nomination as attorney general. He’s serious about putting Gaetz in the post.
@Bix He's serious about consolidating power.
By making them vote for his horse as a senator, he's proving to them that he can make them do what he wants.
@Bix Blackmail is for life.
@Bix another reason to leave immigration alone, if Trump is having that hard of a time finding a kiss ass lackey with a law degree he might have to import someone.
Curious he’s willing to push for that retread.
