If Charles Manson was not still in prison, which cabinet post would Trump have offered him?

Clearly, Charlie would've been a good fit for this Administration, and it must've been a disappointment for our Empero...er, President, not to have had him available.

Then again, it may not have been a cabinet post - I was thinking heading up the Peace Corps would have been a logical Trumpian choice.


Where do my fellow DUers see Mr. Manson in the Drumpf camp? (your best guesses, please!)

But he's got a tremendous legal mind and extensive experience with the judicial system. And he prefers flexible hours. I'd say the Supreme Court.

Perhaps not on the Heritage Foundation list - but possibly the ideal Trumpian choice!! (Meets the criteria - a choice the whole world is guaranteed to hate!)

But Clarence is nothing but a ditto machine. How inspired can he be?

It really is uncanny how many facial expressions and nervous tics they share. Both manipulators - though Charlie is more of a leader and far more charismatic. Drumpf only has inheritance on him.
