One commentator described Donald Trump’s announcements of several cabinet picks as extending the middle finger to the country.

One said Trump’s picks were not only “in-competent” but “anti-competent.” It’s as if the intent was to have the federal government become dysfunctional.
Matt Gaetz, slated for Attorney General, is barely a lawyer, and resigned amid an ethics probe by the Republican-controlled House. Ironically, Trump’s pick for Assistant Attorney General, Todd Blanche, is at least a practicing lawyer.
Anti-vaxxer Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. as head of the Department of Health and Human Services would seem aimed at causing death and suffering.
In a functioning government, the Senate would quickly vote down these clownish appointments, but we’ll have to wait to see whether we have a functioning government in 2025. Trump wants to fill the top federal jobs through recess appointments, and bypass Congress entirely.
