Trump Taking Calls From ‘Unknown Foreign Numbers’ As He Picks Cabinet Nominees

From his home at Mar-a-Lago, Donald Trump continues to pick one controversial (and potentially unconfirmable) person after another for his cabinet, using up the dwindling political capital he earned by defeating Vice President Kamala Harris less than two weeks ago.

First, Fox host Pete Hegseth was nominated for Secretary of Defense. Then came Matt Gaetz for Attorney General of the United States. It now appears neither has a chance of gaining Senate approval.

As Trump makes those picks, he’s also having numerous phone conversations with people who have “foreign numbers,” according to a disturbing report from the New York Times.

“Even with the differences since 2016, all signs so far indicate that the 78-year-old president-elect is sticking to some of his old habits. It sometimes seems to his staff as if half the world now has Mr. Trump’s cellphone number. Even since becoming the president-elect, he still seems willing to take every call — even calls from unknown foreign numbers.”

Where are those calls coming from? Russia? China? North Korea? No one knows, but the very idea that a president-elect might be seeking guidance from foreign nations on his appointees should worry every American, even those who voted for Trump.

And when he isn’t on the phone or regaling guests with tales of how he managed to win the 2024 election, Trump is also playing disc jockey.

“He has been spotted in the tearoom beneath the gold-canopied roof, or out on the Mar-a-Lago patio, picking out music on his iPad and blasting Pavarotti.”

In other words, Donald is more unhinged than ever, and he doesn’t even care if we all know that he could be talking about staffing moves with Vladimir Putin or Orbán, potentially selling out the United States to whatever dictator is willing to offer him the biggest financial reward.
