I'm not a fan of Gaetz because he likes to showboat, which is obnoxious. I hate it when congress or senate holding a hearing and basically tell off the person they are supposed to be questioning. He also strikes me as a cheesy career politian. I was stunned when Trump picked him.
As for Gaetz's accusations, I thought they were bs. He was dating a woman who was a few months from being 18 years old. Maybe he knew her age and maybe he didn't. But, at 17 she was old enough to make up her own mind. Sex trafficking is a term that is thrown around frivolously at times. She and Gaetz went on a vacation together. I call a big so what on that one.
Here is what I think happened...And its just my opinion...
I think Trump is playing 3D Chess with the help from DeSantis, Rubio and Gaetz..
If my previous post is correct about the ethics committe coming out with a damaging report about Gaetz Friday (regarding drug use and sex allegations) then there was a good chance Gaetz would get thrown out of the house.....Its like when a lawyer violates professional ethics and the Bar Association strips him of his license...
With Gaetz resigning two days before this report was suppossed to come out it disappears....Trump figured what the hell..I might as well try to get him confirmed as AG...Because DeSantis will appoint another conservative in his place immediately...
The problem for Gaetz and Trump is that it will be next to impossible to get Matt Gaetz confirmed for AG....But Trump gets some real good shock value....Matt Gaetz will probably be done in Washington...And then he can be a full time host on Newsmax. (He is a part time host now)
As for Rubio getting the SOS job, it could be so Trump can keep him on a leash because Rubio will report directly to Trump now..And again DeSantis can appoint another conservative to take Rubios Senate spot..
DeSantis can appoint himself too. Or his wife, or Laura Trump...
So I think that all four of these people (Trump, Gaetz, Rubio and DeSantis) possibly conspired....
It was also interesting listening to Rubios response when questioned about Gaetz being nominated.....Rubios eyes were telling you that he has no chance of being confirmed but his mouth was telling the reporter that Trump can pick anyone he wants...
Anyways, this is my opinion but what the Fuck do I know...
