Pompeo vs MAGA
[MSN - Newsweek] Mike Pompeo sparked fury from supporters of former President Donald Trump's Make America Great (MAGA) movement on Sunday, after he said he is open to joining a new Trump administration if asked.

Pompeo, who served during the Trump administration as secretary of state and the director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), has sometimes been at odds with his former boss since they left office in January 2021.
Pompeo is tainted by his CIA association but I really have a hard time faulting his actions in international affairs last term. (I also thought Tillerson was a good appointment - can't say that about most of them.)

#2 "Sometimes been at odds"? I thought he backed Trump very well, and I don't recall him backstabbing him. He's smart and pragmatic

#4 I remember CPAC 2023 with Pompeo calling on the GOP to stop following celebrity leaders with fragile egos. I wouldnt expect MAGA to welcome him back with open arms.
