In the days since securing a historic victory over Kamala Harris, President Donald Trump has been busy fleshing out his second-term administration.
Although his supporters have found plenty to celebrate in the names Trump has already announced, his many critics on the left are up in arms about the supposed danger some of them pose to the nation.
But Trump’s first White House press secretary shared a word of advice to the anti-Trump activists who are already clutching their pearls.
According to The Hill:
Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer said that people should “buckle up” for President-elect Trump’s second term in the White House since “we got a lot more coming your way.”
“I said this morning, if you are shocked or surprised by the appointment of Pete Hegseth last night as Secretary of Defense, buckle up baby, because it’s going, we got a lot more coming your way,” Spicer said during his Wednesday appearance on NewsNation’s show “The Hill.”
“And I think the policies, the people and the process are going to take Washington by storm,” he added.
Hegseth is just one of several names to emerge in recent days as nominees to various executive branch positions. The developments have fueled plenty of social media commentary and speculation.
Let’s be honest.

Trumps pick for US ambassador to Israel: Mike Huckabee:

As Fox News reported, some of the leftist outrage over Trump’s picks have been redirected toward Kamala Harris and Joe Biden:
As Donald Trump moves quickly to fill top administration posts – and newspaper pieces warn of the horrors to come – the denigration of Harris, and Joe Biden, has reached fever pitch.
And yet, many of the media liberals who praised the Kamala operation as “flawless” and “incredible” now basically say it was a no-good, horrible, very bad campaign. That makes clear they knew this all along, but wouldn’t say so, because they were protecting the vice president as a way of trying to keep Trump out of the White House. This is yet another blow to the media’s plummeting credibility.
Here are some of the media post-mortems:
Andrew Sullivan: “How could an entire left-liberal worldview be more comprehensibly dismantled by reality? And yet, the primary response among my own liberal friends was rage at the electorate. They texted me to insist that Harris lost because of white people — white women, in particular.”
ADVERTISEMENTMaureen Dowd: “Some Democrats are finally waking up and realizing that woke is broke…
“Kamala, a Democratic lawmaker told me, made the ‘colossal mistake’ of running a billion-dollar campaign with celebrities like Beyoncé when many of the struggling working-class voters she wanted couldn’t even afford a ticket to a Beyoncé concert, much less a down payment on a home.”
Here’s some analysis of the reaction by various MSNBC hosts to Trump’s announcements:
