I’m glad that she is going to keep doing what she has been doing. Trump seems to think he’s responsible for this but that’s typical of him.

I was able to read it by using Google translate from my phone-camera. This quote is me saying Trump is putting loyalty to the test re: his Cabinet appointments and GOP loyalty in the Senate.

1) MAGA but credible: Ratcliffe, Stephen Miller, Homan, Witkoff, Collins, Sauer, Blanche
2) Standard GOP: Burgum, Rubio, Stefanik, Zeldin, Waltz
3) MAGA brain rot: Gabbard, RFK Jr, Gaetz
Noem and Hegseth straddle MAGA/credible and MAGA/brain rot. Huckabee straddles MAGA/credible and standard GOP
