Disqualifying, extreme, and incompetent -- Trump's DEI Cabinet picks - The Boston Globe

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : Trump chose her to lead the Department of Education.
49% : It's also a preview of what will be a shock and awe presidency in which Trump will bombard this nation with so many reprehensible actions in rapid succession, many may cower in a kind of shell-shocked inaction.
43% : But most Republicans have gone suspiciously and predictably silent about the manifestly unqualified people that Trump wants to fill his Cabinet.
41% : "Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who Trump said would go "wild on health," "wild on the food," and "wild on medicines" as health and human services secretary, compared efforts to control the spread of COVID-19 to Nazi doctors testing "vaccines on Gypsies and Jews" and said that the virus was "targeted to attack Caucasians and Black people," and to spare people who are "Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese.
32% : All that qualifies any of them for these powerful positions -- including Chris Wright, the climate change-doubting fracking company CEO tapped to be energy secretary, and Dr. Mehmet Oz, a peddler of phony diet pills and COVID-19 treatments chosen to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services -- is their deathless loyalty to Trump.
23% : Nikki Haley, who was Trump's first UN ambassador, recently accused Gabbard, whom Trump tapped as director of national intelligence despite her lack of intelligence experience, of being a Russian, Iranian, Syrian, and Chinese "sympathizer.
21% : But Trump isn't assembling a Cabinet -- it's more of a junk drawer filled with things that serve no useful purpose.
