Trump has purposely selected for his cabinet people who seem unprepared by prior experience for the jobs assigned to them. J.D. Vance is, as the saying goes, one heart-beat away from the presidency, and brings to his work two whole years in the Senate. Pete Hegseth is, like Trump, a TV star with apparent sexual irregularities in his past. Matt Gaetz has had a lot of experience, but his experience suits him better for the presidency of a degenerate fraternity. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is famous, or, rather, has a famous name. He is himself infamous for his own sexual irregularities and his whimsical ideas about medicine. Linda McMahon is the tsar among professional wrestling impresarios. Pro wrestling is Trump’s favorite sport. Kristi Noem is a dog-shooting woman. That is her sole qualification. Elise Stefanik is a more moral and a little less grossly offensive version of Matt Gaetz, but is afflicted with an enormous “attitude” problem.
These and other cabinet members who can boast of what we might call a non-traditional background or lack of preparation, and in some cases, a record of Trumpian sexual misbehavior, will accomplish Trump’s ambition to disassemble the Government, this in keeping with Steve Bannon’s advice to “Blow everything up and then seize power.”
