I think you are right, he might well "angrily" withdraw the worst nominations and replace them with equally repulsive but more normal seeming people, all to show that he can be "reasonable". Incidentally if these allegations are correct, and I believe them, the only thing in American history that comes close is when in the 1780s General James Wilkinson became a secret agent for the Spanish Empire. He then tried to turn economic control of the American settlements in Kentucky over to that power, which would have shut us out of the Mississippi Valley.
Future generations will be amazed at the gullibility of the American people. But you know right now Trump is right about one thing. He has repeatedly said that the world is laughing at America. It is, but not for the reasons he thinks.
This is simply Trump Brand, Bait & Switch. To waste the Senate's time and energy as a set-up for more extreme Agency-destroying choices.
