Unfortunately, these stupid leaders are insecure and would never do the right thing by surrounding themselves with intelligent, qualified Cabinet members to compensate for their shortcomings. Those folks can't be trusted.

The same philosophy is true for the voters who don't trust smart people to lead them. That's why we're in this mess. Trump was elected by people who only watch FOX News and reality TV. There's no reality in either one, which attracts the most gullible of society.
