I remain shocked that most of the members of trump's cabinet were confirmed. trump's cabinet is full of incompetent idiots who would never be hired by a sane and intelligent president. trump appointed these idiots because they are losers and the GOP senate confirmed these idiots.

President Donald Trump made a wildly condescending admission about the sort of people he likes to surround himself with during an event in Miami shortly after the signing of his executive order to move money around to pay Transportation Security Administration officials in the absence of a congressional deal to reopen the Department of Homeland Security.

"I hang out with losers because it makes be feel better," said Trump. "I hate guys that are very, very successful and you have to listen to their success stories. I like people that like to listen to my success."

This admission caused an eruption from commenters on social media.

"A better explanation of his two administrations than any idea that any pundit has come up with," wrote financial columnist Heidi Moore.

"The only moment of self-awareness in Trump’s life," wrote podcaster and former Barack Obama strategist Dan Pfeiffer.

"Well, that explains the Cabinet!" said writer and political commentator Robert A. George.
