Trump’s Cabinet to Include Christie

Chris Christie, best known for being that sad man next to Donald Trump that one time, is on the short list for several positions in the president-elect’s cabinet. Reports say that Christie is unhappy with his current role of  “general goon” in the administration, and Trump is hoping to appease the former governor, lest he be eaten in one of Christie’s trademark fits of rage. While Trump, unfamiliar with even the basic workings of the executive branch, initially told Christie there was no way he would fit into any of his cabinets (Trump had described Christie as “very heavy”), the misunderstanding was cleared up and advisors to Trump have been looking to squeeze Christie in.

While Christie’s experience would lead many to conclude that he would do well as Secretary of Transportation, Trump had already promised that position to disgraced former Volkswagen CEO Martin Winterkorn due to their similar views on EPA regulations. Some in the Trump camp believe a less visible position would be best for Christie, leading to speculation that Christie will be named the next Assistant Undersecretary of Bridge Administration.

As Trump has spoken of his desire to eliminate the Environmental Protection Agency, some have presented a dark-horse possibility: Christie could be named the inaugural Secretary of Garbage, Waste, and Other Nasty Refuse. This stems from the facts that he has been referred to by some of his constituents as a “fuckin’ garbage man” and that New Jersey is literally where New York City dumps all of its garbage. This gives Christie at least as much experience on the matter as he has with bridges.
