6. It's unlikely that he could get these ludicrous picks approved

Even with a GOP Senate. They are incompetents, toadies, lickspittles and weirdos being proposed for extremely powerful and important positions. The GOP laughed and winked at some of his appointments last time: Interior, EPA, Education and others, but this time he wants direct and total control of the military, intelligence, and law enforcement arms of the US government.

That’s going to make even the GOPer/MAGAt Senators very nervous. If he gets that power things could go very bad, very fast.
