Lots of false allegations against Trump didn't look good either, nor provide "good optics." But they all turned out to be hogwash. Trump isn't that naive after all he's been through. I think this was a PDJT strategy (I can think of multiple objectives but won't speculate (there'll be enough of that to sink a ship) and Gaetz was participating in it. Look how quickly he resigned from Congress... He didn't even wait for confirmation. That timing was a hint.

We can likely assume that this is a planned move. How can it not be, given the moves and countermoves we’ve observed so far in the execution of this plan. I don’t believe anything is left to chance. In operational plans, there are several reactions considered for each action as well as measures and countermeasures for each. It will be interesting how this plays out and the purpose of his withdrawal.

As I was thinking about this the possibility of Gaetz being put in the open Senate seat Marco Rubio will be vacating came to mind. Any thoughts about this?

That works for me, and I imagine it works for millions of other Deplorables too.

I am disappointed. I would have loved to see the firebrand going after the evil rampant in our governing bodies. That said, in the immortal words of Yoda. There is another. He is qualified. He has no love for federal overreach in fact he is one of the most prolific filers of suits against the government. His name is Ken Paxton and his name has already been mentioned today. He is a good choice too.

I opine his nomination was a planned smokescreen. Matt will land on his feet and Trump will reveal the success of the screen with his announcement of AG. He has already named Deputy, Associate Deputy and Solicitor General. He knows what he is doing.

I believe this was the plan all along. Besides being able to have DeSantis appoint him to Rubio's Senate seat (my guess only), they got the ridiculous View shills to go live on air and give a public apology (added bonus) 🤣🤣

Is there any evidence that Gaetz acted improperlly? If so, what is it?

the FBI cleared Gaetz of any wrongdoing so this appears to be yet another deep state playbook favorite psychological attack - the fabricated smear by allegation (without producing any hard evidence that can withstand scrutiny) that's leaked to the press and echoed and repeated ad nauseam by all until the naive public believes its true.

That is the radical left's usual tactic.

The old Nancy Pelosi wrap up smear.

Isn't DJT quite the student of Sun Tzu? My own personal opinion is that this move was a feint to draw out the opposition. If that is so, DJT certainly succeeded! He now knows pretty well the shape of the battlefield, wouldn't you say? Also, Gaetz is now available for any other position in the adminstration, Lara Trump can step in as FL Senator, and Ken Paxton can be put us as AG.
