Ladies and Gentlemen: Donald Trump's Admin

We don't know where he'll put Rudy Giuliani, but he'll give him some job.  Speculation has been Attorney General or Secretary of State.  With that in mind, this should be comforting...
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) on Sunday defended Donald Trump's suggestion that the U.S. should "take the oil" from Iraq.

[...]

n ABC's "This Week." Host George Stephanopoulos pushed back, questioning the legality of that strategy.

"Wouldn't that just be theft? ... That's not legal, is it?" he asked.

"Of course it's legal. It's a war," Giuliani said.

  The Hill
Hoo boy. Here we go again. It's legal if the president does it (Dick Nixon); it's legal if I say it is (W Bush and John Yoo); it's legal if it's war (pretty much all of them, but only these yahoos will say it out loud).
Trump said, during NBC News's "Commander-in-Chief Forum" last week that the U.S. should "take the oil" in Iraq as part of the "spoils of war" to keep it from ISIS.

“I’ve always said, shouldn’t be there, but if we’re going to get out, take the oil,” he said.

“If we would have taken the oil, you wouldn’t have ISIS, because ISIS formed with the power and the wealth of that oil.”
A sentiment that Rudy parroted on Sunday.

Hey, von Clownstick, didn't you say Obama founded ISIS?

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
