Trump 29 Nominees to Date: Most Very Questionable Names & Top Four Unserious Choices

Trump's Top Four of 29 Nominees named to date (Two Updated)

(They have questionable backgrounds & no job skills)

MAJOR Update (November 19): Lots of Major Media coverage of Trump’s DOD chief nominee, PETE HEGSETH, who in my view is a scumbag above all others not deserving to lead DOD. 

My view of him is based on his views of women in the military – now numbering over 225,000; as well as some 4,000 who serve in a variety of combat units and in variety of combat-related roles. 

Those media reporting sites are below with basically the same headline in my view: “Hegseth hates women in uniform.” Note the photo above. Hegseth us standing next to Tulsi Gabbard, who currently happens to be a Lt.Col, in the Army - how ironic is that. She first served in Iraq in 2004 as an enlisted combat medic. 

1. Thousands of Women Serve in Combat Roles. Pentagon Nominee Hegseth Says They Shouldn’t

2. Pete Hegseth Argues Women Shouldn't Be in Military Combat Roles

3. What Pete Hegseth Has Said About Women Serving in the Military

4. Trump's pick for defense secretary doesn't want women serving in combat

5. Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) to Hegseth speaking out against women in combat: “Where do you think I lost my legs?”

Introduction from THE WEEK's headline:

“Matt Gaetz, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Tulsi Gabbard, and Pete Hegseth: Understanding Trump's logic behind high-level cabinet picks”

One of the most striking features of Trump's latest cabinet picks is the emphasis on absolute loyalty. He is selecting individuals who have supported him throughout his political career

Following his decisive victory in the presidential election, he has wasted no time assembling his cabinet, and his choices have already ignited controversy. Unlike his first term, where he appointed individuals with varied backgrounds and some political experiences, his latest picks emphasize personal loyalty over everything else.

There are safe picks like Sen. Marco Rubio (R-F) for Secretary of State, and bizarre choices like now former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) for DOJ; Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for HJHS; Pete Hegseth (FOX personality) for Secretary of Defense; and Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) and now a GOP/MAGA stalwart as Director of National Intelligence (DNI) – and they have forced even Republicans to express dismay and concern.

It has raised questions about the competence of some of his nominees and the implications for governance. 

Critics argue that many of these choices lack the expertise typically required for such high-level positions, while others express concern about how these selections reflect Trump's desire to reshape the government in his image and be accountable to no one.

Then CBS reports on Trump’s 29 key Cabinet & W/H personnel posts (Note the Top Four mentioned above on this list):

· AG: Matt Gaetz (R-FL) also he resigned from Congress

· HHS secretary: Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

· DOD Secretary: Pete Hegseth (Fox Show Host)

· DNI: Tulsi Gabbard Former Rep. (D-HI) now GOP

· White House chief of staff: Susie Wiles

· Secretary of State: Sen Marco Rubio (R-FL)

· U.N. Ambassador: Elise Stefanik (R-NY)

· “Border Czar:” Tom Homan

· Deputy AG: Todd Blanche (Trump Past Attorney)

· VA Secretary of veterans affairs: Doug Collins

·  NSA: Michael Waltz

·  Interior Secretary: Doug Burgum (R-ND / Gov.)

·  White House Counsel: William McGinley

·  Presidential Personnel Office Head: Sergio Gor

·  White House Communications Director: Steven Cheung

·  W/H Press Secretary: Karoline Leavitt

·  Energy Secretary: Chris Wright (Fracking & Anti New Green Deal)

My 2 Cents: Key questions for all 29, what are their: (1) Skills; (2) Qualifications; (3) Experience; (4) Security Clearances; and (5) Criminal backgrounds.

Backgrounds like any sexual abuse and paying to keep it quiet? Um, Mr. Gaetz; Mr. RFK Jr; and Mr. Hegseth??? Oops.

How about strong praise for dictators like Putin and al-Assad (um Ms. Gabbard)???) 2^nd Oops.

We the people need to know the full details on each. Note for Congress: Please tell DJT stop those kinds of nominations. They do not and most-likely will not serve the public nor the country.

Loyalty to Trump is not the criteria – the nation is first and paramount in all cases. Seems to be lacking right now.

Keep digging mainstream media and members in the House and Sense into their pasts. As I said and the public I believe as the people, we have a compelling right to know.

More forthcoming I am sure …say tuned and please research and speak out – in a word, thus far “…it ain’t pretty.” 

We are now in deep unchartered territory and the world (our friends, allies, and even our adversaries are watching and closely, too).

Thanks for stopping by.
