Donald Trump’s cabinet appointees are rolling in and let’s just say they’re not the A-team, but what did we expect?

Trump’s choices aren’t exactly the pick of the litter, but they all fall into one category: they’re yes-men. As long as these people will keep Trump’s echo chamber intact, he’ll keep handing out nominations like Oprah gives away cars. And if anyone does decide they know better than him, they’ll get a swift kick to the street.

Trump’s cabinet is another example of the erosion of the Republican party. As the business leaders, fiscal conservatives and national security experts get marginalized, the party shifts more and more under Trump’s cult of personality. The Senate remains the only real stronghold of the “old” Republican party, but if Trump’s push for recess appointments goes through, then that will be gone too.

There are some standouts to these appointees though. Lighthizer is one of the stronger ones and Gabbard is one of the scarier ones. There’s a lot to unpack here, so today’s video is a bit longer…
