Has Trump picked anyone who is qualified for their job?

[edhopper]

I was looking over his cabinet picks and other senior gov officials. Hard to find anyone with the qualifications needed for their job.
At most it might be 5% or 10% of his picks, with the clear majority terribly unqualified.
Not even address that they are corrupt or compromised traitors, or both.

1. No.

In his first term, even if I did not like them, he had a few guard rails. None this time.

Recommended.

2. No because it wouldn't benefit Russia and that's who owns him

Just my conspiracy theory.

7. I don't think you are wrong

[bdamomma]

3. No

He picks Loyalists, who just give EO to sign and cause chaos and havoc.

We need to get into GOOD TROUBLE, do not let them bend our will!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[surfered]

4. Yes the White House Press Secretary

She has absolutely no compunction about lying.

5. re: qualifications

As I have posted before, there is no list of qualifications for any cabinet secretary because they are strictly political choices.

Just like anything above O-6 in the commissioned officer military or E-7 in enlisted military..

Good examples include William Cohen who was Secretary of Defense for Clinton never served in the military...Leon Panetta served as Obama's Secretary of Defense and was only in the military for two years in the 60's and got out with a rank lower than Hegseth's...Dick Cheney was never in the military AT ALL and he was SECDEF for Bush Sr....Hell, the former Five Star General Eisenhower had two Defense Secretaries and neither even served in the military.

Qualifications mean shit...Politics is how and why people get jobs and assignments.

6. If the job is to show that government doesn't work, he's doing just fine...

If the job is to enrich Trump (and possibly themselves), he's doing just fine...

8. No. Qualifications are disqualifying.

9. Stormy!

I believe she's the only qualified individual Chump ever "hired".

10. He accidentally picked Pence who didn't try to do what Trump wanted

Not that Pence could have, but he at least refused. And many of his first term people left because he's an idiot.

11. Seems if they're on TV and suck up to him: Qualified.

Being on TV and also looking like a fashion model gives them extra points.

So, no. They're amazingly totally out of their depths in those jobs.

12. Rubio was confirmed 99 - 0

So plenty of Democrats thought so.

[edhopper]

17. Senators

Always support their own.

13. Why would he do that?

He’s deliberately trying to entirely trash our federal government. Competency would be counterproductive.

14. dRump hires people who look good - in his eyes - on cable TV, especially Faux Noise.

A recent report says Dump had no idea what Rex Tillerson believed before appointing him Secretary of State. Dump is all about optics, and a Dump hire must, first and foremost, "look the part." Saying good things about him on the talk shows also goes a long way.

15. Their job is to destroy their departments. So no qualifications necessary

Just blind fanaticism to Trump and the mission

[Meowmee]

16. I don't think so, I can't remember anyone

[mopinko]

18. i think a lot of these ppl r paying for the privilege.

i mean, sure, some r just the kind of suck ups he loves. esp those that serve closely, and r likely to appear on teevee.
but pay-to-play is the only way i can find to explain some of these cuckoos.
