Summary

Donald Trump’s second-term cabinet is criticized as a disjointed team unified only by loyalty to him, rather than qualifications or ideology.

The picks include controversial figures like Pam Bondi as attorney general, Pete Hegseth as defense secretary, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for an environmental role, raising concerns about conflicts and competence.

While some selections, like Marco Rubio for secretary of state, appear conventional, others reflect Trump’s focus on personal fealty and populist goals, including mass deportations and deregulation.

Critics expect chaos and impulsive governance similar to his first term.

    Yup. This time his biggest mistake will be picking incompetent people. But I’m sure neither he nor his braindead cronies will understand that.

      As far as Trump is personally concerned, his only true mistake in his last term was picking competent people who wouldn’t bow to his every command when it came time to coup himself into staying in power. He doesn’t give a shit about running the country. He only needs to protect himself and his own.
