Donald Trump Nominates WWE Co-Founder Linda McMahon as Education Secretary

McMahon serves as board chair at the Trump-aligned think tank America First Policy Institute.

In her 2010 U.S. Senate campaign, McMahon's team implemented a voter registration drive at the University of Connecticut, offering $5 bonuses for each Republican voter registered.

Linda McMahon has been linked to controversies involving her husband, Vince McMahon, including allegations of sexual misconduct and a federal investigation into sex trafficking. While she has not been directly implicated, her association with these issues has drawn public scrutiny.

"Linda McMahon’s lack of direct experience in education policy, administration, or teaching raises significant doubts about her qualifications to serve as Secretary of Education. While her leadership roles in WWE and the Small Business Administration demonstrate administrative and managerial capabilities, these do not translate to the expertise needed to oversee the complex challenges of the U.S. education system, such as curriculum development, equity issues, and compliance with federal laws like Title IX. Her nomination appears to prioritize loyalty and business acumen over the specialized knowledge traditionally expected for this role."

It's odd that most of Trump's picks have been involved in sex trafficking investigations.

Matt Gaetz drops out for AG.

What a complete and utter clown show this has been, and the fat orange doofus isn't even in office yet.

Trump picks another loyalist for AG, whose name is Pam Bondi.

She had received at least 22 fraud complaints regarding Trump University.

In 2013, she received criticism following a campaign donation from Donald Trump.

In 2016, she endorsed Trump in the 2016 Florida Republican presidential primary, saying she has been friends with Trump for many years.

She gave a speech at the RNC, during which she led "Lock her up" chants directed at the Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

In 2019, she was hired by Ballard Partners, a firm with close ties to Trump, and she began working as a registered lobbyist for Qatar.

In 2020, she was named as part of Trump's defense team for the Senate impeachment trial.

She supported Trump's claims that there was large-scale voter fraud in Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

In 2024, she was the legal arm of the America First Policy Institute.

That's putting it extremely mildly.

The whole situation was deeply corrupt.

Pete Hegseth openly advocates for using the military against the left. Someone like this is exactly who you'd want if you were planning on executing something like Project 2025. This is the same mentality of the president of The Heritage Foundation, when he said "The revolution will be bloodless, if the left allows it to be". 

"Pete Hegseth, Donald Trump’s pick for defense secretary, has written in a book that he could imagine a scenario in which the US armed forces would be used violently in American domestic politics.

Hegseth’s 2020 book exhorts conservatives to undertake “an AMERICAN CRUSADE”, to “mock, humiliate, intimidate, and crush our leftist opponents”, to “attack first” in response to a left he identifies with “sedition”, and he writes that the book “lays out the strategy we must employ in order to defeat America’s internal enemies”.

She would endanger our national security if she becomes the new Director of National Intelligence. She's pro-Putin and has ties with Bashar al-Assad.

Trump's bogus pick for FBI Director-Kash Patel.

He peddles numerous right wing conspiracies about the "deep state" and mainstream media- and is a Trump loyalist-He was previously investigated for involvement in Ukraine-Russia collusion scandal during the Trump administration. He is threatening to "drain the swamp" and go after those who have investigated Trump for previous crimes. Insane.
