    Why would he publically offer him the job. You make the offer privately and if they decline, you move on. Dana already publically declined, which is a little embarrassing. Could’ve saved the embarrassment.

      The apparent recommended candidate was someone with the same name from the Heritage Foundation. Trump just defaulted to the celebrity.

              I don’t know the guy at all, but it would be understandable if (some) people were a little reluctant to tie their name to Trump after the disastrous midterms.

                Maybe if they care about their career later on, but remember that Trump still has 2 more years (if not possibly more???) to do mostly as he wishes. Hope for better, but don’t expect anything to change in the next 2 years.

                In the last few months of his current term he may enact even more radical policies or push his ICE group to do what they’ve been doing against a wider group.

                  Oh, I don’t doubt it. The elevation of Miller to Chief of Staff is a clear sign that they’re all-in on the cruelty.
