I got a co-worker. Real die-hard Trumper. For about a week after the election was called, he’d walk into the office with a proud “Happy MAGA day”. Even made his computer profile picture the image of Trump after he got shot with his fist in the air.

Anyway, once these cabinet picks started getting known, he brought up to another co-worker (retired navy) about how the military was going to be run by a news host. Navy retiree didn’t know what he was talking about. I chimed in and said that Trump is packing his cabinet full of political “Yes-men” to which I was promptly told he’s not. I doubled down with a “yes he is” and said that the cabinet should be made up of experts in the field, people who bring the president the proper information to create an informed decision. Navy retiree said it should be like that but it’s not.

Long story short, I haven’t heard this much kick-back about cabinet picks ever. The only other cabinet pick I remember hearing anything about was Obama’s (I think) energy pick who liked to dress in skirts and high heels, and I’m sure I only heard about that because the news wanted to poke fun at him. Have any other recent presidents chosen such a poor cabinet to advise them?
