      Might be a misdirection. I have a real hard time believing even the Republicans would pick a puppy killer.

        Trump picked General Mattis as his Secretary of Defense purely because he had the nickname “Mad Dog”, then got upset when Mattis wasn’t a psychopathic warhawk who’d do anything Trump wanted.

        And the rest of his cabinet was a revolving door of awful people. There’s no failure of character he won’t tolerate as long as they bend the knee and stroke his ego enough.
