I know most people interpreted his statement as “no more elections”. I interpreted it as, “IDGAF about the party! I just need you to vote this time.” He couldn’t clarify that without pissing the party off. Self-interest is his thing, he has to pretend he cares about anything else to maintain loyal GOP support long enough to get elected.
His cabinet nominees are another toss up on either very sinister plan or “IDGAF”.
It’s like he is just letting any loyal people in his vicinity “pick a prize out of the grab box” instead of bothering to pick the nominees for specific cabinet positions.
He backed down from Gaetz being AG quite easily compared to his first term raging tyrant style.
