Trump's Incompetent Cabinet

[red viking]

These people are obviously unqualified for their jobs, in general. He's also obviously picking people that don't have much respect from the general public. Well known but controversial. Most of them are conspiracy theorists, TV personalities (entertainers like Trump himself) and/or criminals. 

Wondering why people think this is. My theory is that he wants people that really don't have much credibility and would be unable to get such a position with any other President. That makes them toe the Trump line with unwavering loyalty. In other words, he's getting lackeys.

So why is he getting these type of people? Any ideas, or do you agree with my assessment that he just wants lackeys with nothing to lose if they toe the Trump line? 

[Husker_Du]

many of the people that the left is crying about are actually good. and i love it.

however, there's no doubt that some of them are effin bizarre.

Some of Biden’s dei picks were interesting as well no?

and yes some of these are bizarre too….

Are there any cabinet picks yet to be made? I would love to see Hulk Hogan heading up some agency. Entertaining figures are obviously the most important factor.

We just had four years of an incompetent President whats wrong with a few incompetent cabinet members?  Diversity and Equality 

[Danny Deck]

• VP - JD Vance
• State - Marco Rubio
• Treasury - 
• Defense - Pete Hegseth
• AG - Matt Gaetz
• Interior - Doug Burgum
• Agriculture - 
• Commerce - Howard Lutnick
• Labor - 
• HHS - RFK Jr
• HUD - 
• Transportation - Sean Duffy
• Energy - Chris Wright
• Education - Linda McMahon
• Veteran's Affairs - 
• Homeland Security - Kristi Noem

Others like EPA and DNI are cabinet level but outside the line of succession. 

I'm not sure how much the ones that seem most objectionable are capable of actually enacting the radical transformation of their departments they claim to want. But they may be able to bring in people who can. Or maybe it's just a clown show for however long they run these departments.

I think we should bet on who gets Tillerson'd, fired while on the toilet.

These clowns are less likely to get fired because they'll do whatever Trump says. They already have zero credibility, so don't have anything to lose by following (to a tee) whack job orders from Trump.

I like seeing some hugely successful outsiders get a shot. Doug Bergum for example.

Sam Brinton was a nuclear engineer in charge of the office of nuclear energy so definitely more qualified than all of Trump's picks. 

Levine is an actual doctor in charge of the health & human services. 

Seems like you are actually proving my point that Biden's cabinet is MUCH more qualified than Trump's.

That's kind of the nature of the job.  They serve at the pleasure of the President.

Yah. The problem is that he's an idiot and issues ridiculous and/or unlawful orders. Anybody with integrity is only going to go so far against their own conscience. That's what happened with his last cabinet (they got fired) but these guys have zero integrity so they'll just blindly do whatever he says. 

Most people will generally do what their boss says but not absolutely anything, regardless of how ridiculous.

I can't wait to read your posts in 4+ years when your dooms day rhetoric will be proven wrong just like all the D's talking points during the election have been.
