I see that Mr. Rubio is accumulating titles at a fearsome rate. Some wag said he was looking like a 16th century Duke who had won the favors of a grateful monarch. Rubio is now Secretary of State, National Security Advisor, Administrator of USAID and dozens of other titles that come with those jobs.
I wonder if President Trump is dreaming up some sort of parallel to the Order of the Garter or a newfangled Marshall’s Baton for highly favored principals in his orbit. I’m sure he has several suitable schemes in mind already.
As I recall from my reading of C S Forester’s Hornblower books, the monarch used to give such men the title and pay of Colonel of Marines. President Trump could do something like that and award them the title, Colonel of the Space Marines. First up, Elon Musk. I suppose Colonel of Colonial Marines would work as well.

Colonel of Marines came with a nice stipend and no duties. I'm surprised the bureaucracy didn't award themselves the title while corrupt Joe was in office
I'm pleasantly surprised that Dondi appears to have found a niche. Multiple ones at that! Unless it's all a show trying to find a shoe that fits.
Well, if you think about it honestly, his multiple titles really show how unnecessary those positions really are. AND more importantly just how unnecessary those departments are.
We don't really need 400 odd departments and agencies. Maybe 10, maybe.
