Trump Has Total Meltdown As His Transition Plans Fall Apart

Donald Trump is having a complete meltdown over the fact that his transition plans are completely falling apart and showing the country just how horrible he is as a leader. But instead of directing his rage at himself for making bad picks, he’s directed it at the media outlets that are talking about it. Trump believes that the press is responsible for everything, when in reality his own incompetence and vanity are the culprits. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what happened.

Donald Trump is having an absolute meltdown over the fact that his cabinet picks continue to go down in flames. First it was Matt Gaetz. Of course, now we've got all the horrible news about Pete Hegseth that threatens his nomination. Kosh Patel is already ruffling a lot of feathers. Tulsi Gabbard, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Linda McMahon. All of these people are facing a very tough confirmation process, but things are even worse than that because in several instances now, Donald Trump has either had to pull his nominee or has had the nominee back out themselves. And because of that, papers across the country, particularly in this instance, the Wall Street Journal, have done stories about it because you know, that's a big black eye for Donald Trump. This is your transition period. You just won the election. Republicans got the house, they got the Senate, they got you. This is your show of strength, and you're failing.

You're failing your very first test of leadership. Now, the Wall Street Journal didn't go as far as to say that, but they did talk about the fact that Trump's having some problems, which in turn caused Donald Trump to have a total meltdown. He got on truth social and said this about the Wall Street Journal. The Wall Street Journal is becoming more and more obnoxious and unreadable. Today's main headline is Trump's DEA pick pulls out in latest SEC setback with all that's happening in the world. This is their number one story of the day. Besides, he didn't pull out, I pulled him out because I did not like what he said to my pastors and other supporters. But more importantly, what's my latest setback? I just won the presidency of the United States. They haven't written a good story about me in years. Somebody over there ought a look at what they're doing.

Uh oh. The only one worse than them is stupid China centric Forbes Magazine, which of course had to take Donald Trump off the, you know, wealthiest people list because he lost so much money and truth, social. But, uh, somebody should look into what they're doing over there. That's a threat against the media. By the way, don't let that go unnoticed because that is a very important part of this. But the other part is that they're of course, talking about the fact that the, uh, Florida Sheriff from Hillsborough County, that Donald Trump picked to lead the, uh, uh, DEA dropped out. And it did drop out, by the way, because of, uh, what he said about Trump's pastors. No, Trump supporters forced him to pull him because they didn't like what he did. During Covid, I enforcing Covid restrictions here in the state of Florida, which we had few, like we were among the, the least restrictive state in the country, but you had to enforce what was there from Governor Ron DeSantis. By the way, these were Republican restrictions,

So he loses that guy, and Donald Trump is at the media for it, of course, because they're, you know, doing their job and reporting on it. But they also need to talk about the fact that Donald Trump had to pull the man he had picked to be his White House counselor. He's already been replaced before he even got to the White House, he pulled that guy. This was his show of strength. He was supposed to pick, as he said, back in 2016, only the best people. And instead, he has filled up a clown car with freaks and weirdos and criminals. And even his Republican senators are like, dude, we can't do this. His supporters are saying, dude, we can't do this.

But what's more important is that this is a very real, the emperor has no clothes moment. Donald Trump thought he had a mandate that of course, never materialized. He didn't even get 50% of the popular vote, no mandate. He thought he had the backing of every Republican in this country, and he doesn't.

I worked for years and paid into Social Security and I deserve it.

[thesausagecontinuim]

so trump supporters... how is this NOT the swamp????

[pamelahoile]

He refuses to sign the Ethics Agreement, so why would he pick anyone with any ethics, you Voted for a Criminal, did you expect him to do anything less.

[davidedwards]

It's driving him totally insane.
Fortunately, it's only a short drive!

[JoDdy-]

If the jerk would pick decent people to begin with, he wouldn't have this problem. And if he's not going to sign an Ethics agreement, he doesn't belong in office

[Confused_Philosopher]

This demonstrates why so many of his businesses failed. He is too incompetant to hire competant people.

[christinescott]

The whole bunch should be charged with Treason.

Whine .... complain ... whinge ... berate ... moan ... threaten ... bully ... condemn ... vilify ... lie ...
There's a predictability about the responses from the very stable genius who uses the best words and appoints only the best people. It's a shallow, narrow and familiar script familiar to a watching and alert world. It's a script that's tedious. It's the only script the stable genius has. And the world is going to hear it repeatedly during the years to come.

[michaelweaver]

The emperor has no clothes? Please no!!! I don't want to even imagine DT like that.

[Nedzilla]

Trump and Failure are just so synonymous.

[troutman-swqc]

Trump is upset that he is not getting the swamp he wants.

[l.hendricks]

I hate the idea of listening to a 7 year old trying to make speeches and run the country for the next four years .

[bonniemcconnell]

Once he gets in office, the Heritage Foundation will take over.

[wittwittwer]

T-boy has scraped the bottom of the barrel so much that there's a hole in it. Now he has to look under stones OUTSIDE the barrel.

[sandralouth]

Good. And, if he doesn't sign the ethics agreement SND/, OR his oath to the Constitution, he shouldn't be seated

[davidnordmeyer]

I laugh at his discomfort, frustration, and failures

[LifeChanges]

It's thrilling knowing that his cabinet picks are failing him, he's the circus master and he has a tent full of clowns. 🤡

[sandraullmann]

If he refuses to sign in pledge properly then you should not be allowed to take office.

[CatherineJenkins-vh]

He’s trying to hire incompetent people who won’t challenge him when he tries to pull his fascist BS.

[clarencemcgregor]

Well he never really had a "Plan" but he has the "Concept" of a plan.
