One of the biggest concerns that I had about the president-elect was who would he surround himself with as advisors and cabinet leaders.
I think the answer is coming in fairly clearly: patsies.
He is not willing to find experts or even people with experience to run important departments such as defense, justice, and the interior. He is selecting, in at least two cases, people with no experience but who will do his bidding.
Is anyone else concerned about this?
On top of unqualified appointees, Trump may be planning to subvert the advice and consent of the Senate by trying for recess appointments--there is something just wrong about that, and also skipping security vetting from the FBI.
About the announcement for DNI, Director of National Intelligence:
As former Illinois representative Joe Walsh wrote: “Donald Trump just picked someone to oversee our intelligence who, herself, couldn’t pass a security clearance check. She couldn’t get security clearance. She couldn’t get a job in our intelligence community. Because she’s too compromised by Russia. Yet Trump picked her to run the whole thing.” (Letters from an American)
What is happening? Trump seems to be knee-capping Defense, Justice, and the Intelligence Community.
I saw this coming.
