Now that Trump has won the election..
Which do you all think are the best choices for his cabinet? I'd love to hear the different reasons as to why you'd pick someone for a specific position.

Question about tariffs
Just so everyone knows, I am conservative, I voted for Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024. I agree with trump on most issues but I can't seem to wrap my head around why tariffs would be effective at helping the average working class/middle class american. I get that it would incentivize bringing production back to the USA, but in either scenario (production stays abroad, or it comes back), we end up paying more for products. The cost of foreign goods go up because of tariffs, or the cost of domestic goods go up because US labor is more expensive.
I work in the auto industry, specifically automotive locksmithing. If I sell a dealership a key to a used car, the dealership doesn't usually have to eat the cost of the key, they just raise the price of the car so the consumer ends up paying it anyway. Except in this scenario, the consumer at least gets something for paying more, i.e. an additional key for the car. With tariffs, we would be doing the same thing, except we don't get anything for additional cost.
What are y'alls thoughts on this?
Edit: My main question would be how do tariffs help the average working class american?

Who thinks Biden secretly voted for Trump?
Sure his mind is shot, but he has moments of clarity and that would be a great parting spot.

Need help finding possibly memory holed news story from Trump’s first term
I swear I remember reading a story like in 2018 or 2019 about how a white illegal immigrant from northern Europe was busted for arsons in I think Colorado and got deported.
I Would like to have the link again but for some reason I can’t find it anymore…

Creating new city-states
With the issue being red states with blue cities controlling or fighting them, how hard would it be to create a new non-contiguous state to excise the blue rot.
Put LA, SF, Sacramento, NYC, and Chicago. in a state and name it "Shithole".
Sure, they get two Senators, but we'd get six. The House would likely be unchanged since those districts are blue anyway.
