Maria Bartiromo, The Ultimate Trump Secretary


Okay, so here's the deal.
First Donald appoints all the people he has to appoint, to satisfy his various constituencies and to reward personal loyalty and to reward those who helped him win, and then, every 6 weeks or so, he fires an original apprentice cabinet officer and replaces him with someone really cool, someone who will fire the imagination of his followers, and maybe even his own loins.


First, it must be recognized there were people who helped him who never received much press attention for their role in his winning.  Chief among these, was Maria Bartiromo, who sat behind him during his pretty awful remarks at the Al Smith dinner, distracting at least 50% of the viewing audience so they did not hear a word he said.

Then she did the same for Hillary, who actually had some funny lines, which no white male even heard; again, credit to Ms. Bartiromo.

So you get all the players in place:
General Flynn: National Security Adviser: He suggests laying a pre emptive nuclear strike on North Korea, but Donald likes the Korean leader's leadership style.  So Flynn's out. Maria's in.

Congressman Price: HHS: He's cuts Obamacare and loses 22 million votes in the Rust Belt and the crowds there are growing testy. Maria's in. She can do both jobs--National Security Adviser's hardly a full time job.

Defense: Mad Dog Mattis recommends dropping an atomic bomb on Iran's nuclear reactor, but it turns out they have dozens and they are in bomb proof silos under mountains, so that doesn't go well--Maria's in. There isn't much going on at HHS with Obamacare dead, so she can handle Defense and HHS.

Maria B., Secy HHS, Defense, Nat Sec Adviser

HUD:  Carson is found wandering in the basement mumbling, "Scalpel, clamp, sponge." He's out, and really the main problem for health and human services is there are too many people losing their homes so we can combine HHS and HUD no problem. Maria's got that.



Maria, Secy Defense, HHS, HUD and Nat Sec Adviser

Education: Sarah Palin's been MIA. Turns out she doesn't like being a cabinet Secretary any more than she liked being governor of Alaska. Borrrring.  Get Maria in there. She's well educated.

State: Well, here's the problem, if you give Maria State, she'd have to travel, and well, Donald doesn't want her away too often.
He's grown rather fond of her.

  1. My, my Phantom-it appears Donald isn't the only one impressed with Ms. Bartiromo's assets. Now what exactly it is that has so impressed you I wonder. You seem especially fond of the photo of her behind Trump at the Al Smith Dinner. Hmmm, intersting... I would imagine it's because you enjoy looking at her two big..gold earrings...Am I right?

    I'm only trying to understand how the world works.
    Am I missing something?
