Trump, whatever is other qualities may be, is a very shrewd politician.
He recognizes that many of his followers are embarrassments to his
administration.  Appointing Gaetz gets him out of congress.  The next
step is an "arrangement" (contract, in effect), to deny his
confirmation, and return him whence he came.

You're making the assumption that the senate is going to do their job.
Trump can make recess appointments. It's then up to the various senate
committees to hold confirmation hearings. There is no timeline for this
in the constitution.
Don't be surprised when trump convinces the senate to take a recess so
that he can appoint his cabinet picks, then take no confirmation action
when they return. Think a republican senate won't abdicate their
responsibility? I have two words for you: Merrick Garland.

A great example of Republican duplicity.  Lest some posters forget:

Nobody can reasonably say that a Garland justice wouldn't have made a
difference instead of Gorsuch.
