I think it's slightly different than what you're suggesting. I'm thinking he's picking the worst people he can pick for these jobs so they get denied and his next pick, which is almost as bad, gets approved instead.

Either way, he mostly gets what he wants... and if whatever attorney general finally does get approved ends up fucking up, which they will, Trump can say, "not my fault, I nominated Gaetz."

I think you’re assigning a level of intelligence that Trump simply doesn’t have here. He’s absolutely not planning for anything more than 10 seconds ahead. He’s got a list of people he knows will do anything he says and he’s installing them wherever with no rhyme or reason.

Sorry, I'm not trying to suggest this plan was come up with by Trump himself. It would be the people behind him.

Does seem like a Roger Stone tactic.
