Matt Gaetz made an announcement about this Trump 47 pick that left Democrats and RINOs clutching their pearls

Donald Trump took his victory lap and is now ready to get to work.

The President-Elect is wasting no time putting together his new team to Make American Great Again – again.

And now Matt Gaetz made an announcement about this Trump 47 pick that left Democrats and RINOs clutching their pearls.

If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team

A majority of voters elected Donald Trump to once again lead them as President of the United States.

And many Trump voters are hoping the President-Elect will learn lessons from his first four years in the White House.

One of the biggest red marks on the highly successful Trump presidency was his choice of people to trust.

In his first term, Trump listened to Anthony Fauci about the pandemic.

He appointed Jeff Sessions as his Attorney General.

He put Christopher Wray in charge of the FBI.

He implanted the fledgling and failing Ronna McDaniel to run the Republican National Committee.

He elevated Nikki Haley to national prominence by making her his United Nations Ambassador.

And he added Mike Pence to the presidential ticket by making him his Vice-Presidential nominee.

Each and every one of those choices backfired on Trump.

But the real estate and entertainment mogul is taking a different approach this time around.

On the campaign trail, he surrounded himself with what he called, “the A-Team,” including, J.D. Vance, Elon Musk, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, and Vivek Ramaswamy.

And as the 45^th President of the United States builds his team for time as the 47^th President of the United States, Trump is keeping those mistakes front of mind.

Lee Zeldin tapped to run the EPA

And the President-Elect is off to a much better start than he was the first time.

One of, arguably, his best choices was to reward Lee Zeldin.

The Trump transition team has named the former Republican Congressman from New York, as his Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

“It is an honor to join President Trump’s Cabinet as EPA Administrator,” Zeldin tweeted. “We will restore U.S. energy dominance, revitalize our auto industry to bring back American jobs, and make the U.S. the global leader of AI. We will do so while protecting access to clean air and water.”

Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) is one of the people most excited about Zeldin’s appointment.

“Lee Zeldin is a swamp drainer,” Gaetz tweeted. “Perfect choice for EPA. This is going very well.”

While some Trump supporters would like to see the EPA abolished, Zeldin is a capable man to have in charge of their running – or dismantling – the overzealous agency.

Zeldin’s proven track record

Along with Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL), Zeldin was one of few Republicans who had a strong performance in the disappointing 2022 elections.

In a race that was never supposed to be close, the then-Congressman from Long Island ran an incredibly strong campaign against incumbent Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul – hitting her hard and often for being soft on crime.

In the end, the Long Island Congressman – who was never given a chance at being competitive by the so-called political “experts” – lost by just 5.5-points.

To give an idea of scope, in 2018, Democrat Gov. Andrew Cuomo won re-election by about 23.5-points.

Zeldin’s impressive performance at the top of the ticket was enough to lift several congressional candidates in the Empire State, and allowed the GOP to pick up four seats – enough to give Republicans the majority in the People’s Chamber.

On a night where the GOP couldn’t win in the suburbs of Kansas, they made huge gains in New York’s blue turf – and much of the credit goes to Zeldin.

During his time in the People’s Chamber, Zeldin was a strong proponent of the Trump administration’s environmental policy – including arguing strongly against the industry-crushing Paris Agreement.
