A ‘reporter’ for The New York Times is apparently shocked that President-Elect Donald Trump is appointing people who will do the jobs they are appointed to do. Go back and read that sentence. We’re not making this up. ‘Journalist’ Jonathan Swan made the insightful proclamation Sunday. That’s left many posters on X wondering what was Swan expecting them to do.

Here’s his exact quote.

Several posters went into detail, explaining what appointees are supposed to do for the person who appointed them.

Some were snarkier than others.

Of course. Like any good executive, you hire good people who will take care of the day-to-day management while you concern yourself with larger and more global issues.

Oh no, picking people for your administration that do what you want done without having to stand over them

Lmfao
You can tell these folks have never worked a real job in their life

This is a shocking approach to appointments😂

Many came to the conclusion this ‘journalist’ and others believe appointees are supposed to stand in direct opposition to the person who appointed them.

They seem to think that the executive branch is supposed to check and balance itself (because their extensive bureaucracy is less accountable than the rightful US government system with three branches, so empowering the bureaucratic leech empowers the left)

This was quite literally the ENTIRE point of Project 2025

Were the NYT too busy making up stuff that wasn’t in it to actually read it?

Yes, if only ‘journalists’ had bothered to read Project 2025. They would have discovered Trump’s nefarious plan to appoint department leaders who will do what he wants without him having to ask.
