Why are people surprised by these Trump appointments? Did they think he was going to appoint OG Republicans or choices acceptable to the Democrats?

He made noises about moving away from the neocons like Hailey and pompeo towards more MAGA/isolatioist people but he's ended up mainly picking people with similar hawkish foreign policy views to the neocons he has kicked out.

I don't know. Like watching a horror movie, you know it's coming but you still jump out of your seat I suppose.

The Dems will make noises and split hairs but, big picture, he seems to have largely picked people who will continue Biden foreign policy.

Dunno if it's exactly surprised, more like when you watch a shock video and from the start you see the setup and think 'ok no they're not going to .... Ok they are ...oh shit that's horrifying!'

But Gaetz?! I mean you'd think there would be plenty of lackeys who'd protect Trump and his cronies from legal oversight.
