who has the moral fiber of a pile of shit. Does it get any worse than Kegsbreath? If I were in the military, I'd quit because I couldn't take orders from someone like him.

1. It's my contention that all his cabinet selections

were selected for the likelihood that they would inflict maximum damage in their respective spheres of influence. Daddy Vladdy wouldn’t have it any other way.

6. That, and the ones who will get more press/air time need to look pleasing to the casting director Trump,

Everything is about appearances for him, except for the guys who actually keep his books.

4. Narcissists always choose the incompetent

They CANNOT have someone outshine them. They NEED to see them fail, so they'll look better

That's all they care about

Not one of his cabinet or appointees could manage a swing shift at Pizza Hut

5. They knew exactly what they were getting....a YES MAN.
