Matt Gaetz er udnævnt til justitsminister af Trump, og nu ruller hele Washington på gulvet af overraskelse!🚀🤯

I en chokerende meddelelse fra tidligere præsident Donald Trump er den kontroversielle Florida-repræsentant, Matt Gaetz, blevet nomineret til stillingen som justitsminister. Trump annoncerede sin beslutning på sin egen sociale medieplatform, Truth Social, hvor han understregede vigtigheden af at afslutte den "partiske våbenbrug" i det amerikanske retssystem. Gaetz, der er kendt som en god ally for Trump, har længe været i fokus både for sine udtalelser og sine skridt på Capitol Hill.

Nyheden om Gaetz’ nominering har skabt bølger blandt både republikanere og demokrater i Washington, og mange er blevet taget på sengen. Flere republikaner har offentligt tvivlet på, om Gaetz er den rette mand til jobbet, især da han for tiden er under undersøgelse fra Husets etiske udvalg. En af hans GOP-kolleger blev citeret for at sige, at Gaetz ville være "kompromitteret" og, at der selvfølgelig findes "bedre valg".

Alligevel er Trump fast besluttet på sin beslutning, og mange ser hans valg som en måde at cementere loyalitet i sit retoriske krig mod det etablerede politiske system. Gaetz, der allerede har en prominent stemme i republikansk politik, har været med til at udfordre partiets ledelse, ikke mindst ved at hjælpe med at afsætte sin kollega Kevin McCarthy som formand for Repræsentanternes Hus. Det tyder på, at Trump håber, at Gaetz kan bringe den samme stræben efter forandring til justitsministeriet.

Det ville ikke være første gang, at en kontroversiel figur besætter en høj stilling i den amerikanske regering. I 2017 udnævnte Trump nemlig den nuværende justitsminister, Jeff Sessions, som endda senere blev kritiseret af Trump selv. En approach præget af overraskelse og opfordringer til 'dramatisk forandring' er i takt med Trumps ledelsestil og kunne meget vel være nøglen til hans politiske overlevelse.

Vidste du, at Matt Gaetz ved sin indtræden i kongressen i 2017 var den yngste medlem af Repræsentanternes Hus? Desuden har han, på trods af al sin kontrovers, en Bachelor of Arts i historie fra Florida State University og en J.D. fra William & Mary Law School, hvilket betyder, at han ikke kun er dygtig til at sige store ord – han har også læst dem! Så hvem ved, måske bliver han den justitsminister, USA ikke vidste, de havde brug for, selvom mange er uenige?
