Not sure if it was a serious article…..but…..

Hulk Hogan for some sort of Fitness chief!


I wonder what position he will appoint George Santos to?

It was from something Hogan said on Fox

Hulk Hogan is a blithering idiot and I could never stand him.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

He was a fun champion for the first month or two, then went stale. Ric Flair was better.

His actual wrestling work in the ring was not great. He was good at working the crowd but his matches were all sizzle and no steak. Hey, it worked for him but I found his matches boring. He did draw money...just not mine!

They were fun at first, but then I noticed they were the same match over and over and over. He probably did the leg drop because he had no other moves.

But it was fun seeing him push Trump as Trump is a wheelng-dealing, kiss stealing, rolex wearing, diamond ring wearing, limousine riding, private jet flying son of a gun!

Wall Street seems to like Scott Bessent for Treasury Secretary. Even after he bet big on Chinese stocks this year, then switched and shorted the U.S. market. No one knows how those investments worked out. Depends on the timing. Going from managing 25 people to more than 100,000.

Linda McMahon for Secretary of Education is Trump's way of saying 'sorry' for beating up her husband on live TV.

Wall Street and the stock market ain't gonna like tarriffs
Higher prices will crush the market and fuel inflation
Tarriffs is essentially raising corporate taxes

Trump is practicing his excellent ability to negotiate what he wants, "art of the deal", which involves making your first offer halfway to the moon or in some other way unacceptable to the other side, then compromising

I'm not a fan of everything about Trump but he is good at this

The Dems know this too, but they also know the opposition criticizes everything they can

Every time I hear, "the President should get who he wants", I think why? What if he did really want George Santos?

Don't really care for the Scott Bessent pick because of his lifestyle. But hey, you can't have everything. I love the RFK Jr pick though!
