I'm kind of disappointed he didn't offer the job to Hillary. Could you imagine the political shiiteshow that would bring about? The Rs would be forced to try and confirm her and Ds would have to reject her since she's a Trump pick. The media would likely implode upon itself deciding how to spin such an event… Good times there.
I think Romney would have been a good pick. But I also think Pompeo was a good pick too. Pompeo graduated first in his class from the United States Military Academy at West Point where he majored in Mechanical Engineering. Being an engineer, maybe I'm biased. :-)
Oh yes, our dear Leader makes such great choices...and the best part about his great choices? They get better every time! After every firing, there is a much better person brought into the position.
Yes, this is totally normal!
