Does he just use a phone list and a dart board?

Incompetence, incontinence... any of those.

@#2 ... Does he just use a phone list and a dart board? ....

My guess is that he uses the Trump Oath.

cf. Hitler Oath...

Hitler Oath
en.wikipedia.org

... The Hitler Oath (German: Fhrereid or Fhrer Oath)"also referred in English as the Soldier's Oath[1]"refers to the oaths of allegiance sworn by officers and soldiers of the Wehrmacht and civil servants of Nazi Germany between the years 1934 and 1945.

The oath pledged personal loyalty to Adolf Hitler rather than loyalty to the Weimar Constitution of the country. ...

Lyrics excerpt ...

genius.com

...
Baby, let your light shine on me
When I'm lost on the road
You know you could set me free
You could ease my load

Days get so dark
That I can't hardly see
I've been gone so long
It seems like home to me

Well baby, when I was young of age
I took you for my world
The oceans were your eyes
The pastures were your curves

But now I'm all alone
Stranded in the West
Where you sleep tonight
I can only guess

Baby, let your light shine on me
When I'm lost on the road
You know you could set me free
You could ease my load
...

I heard this song back in the day on college radio. I have not heard it anywhere else.

It's almost like this is all a distraction...

#6 It does seem that he is nominating the most corrupt and incompetent people imaginable in order to either humiliate them or make his second pick appear to be downright acceptable.

Could have fiveheads nomination been to humiliate him for kicking Qevin out of the speaker chair?

Could Hegseth been to humiliate him publicly for calling him a fascist on Faux Nooze?

I would not be surprised.
