It's disgusting that Trump nominated him in the first place. It made me lose respect for Trump.

Gaetz found out that the role of the AG, and the things he and Trump's cabinet wants to get rid of like Medicare, environmental laws, and social security has existed longer than 18 years, so he lost interest😂

Was this all planned, I wonder what Trump is up to. So where is Trump going to put Gaetz, maybe an advisor of sort or some new Dept. This is going to get interesting, can't wait to see how Trump gets what he wants afterall he is a businessman. Don't ever under estimate Trump, he's always one step ahead.

Trump Circus loses a clown - it's good that there are more ignorant candidates, so a total collapse is within reach. 🤡
