Trump’s Cabinet Picks Are Somehow Getting Dumber By The Day

With every pick announced for Donald Trump’s cabinet, a lot of people are thinking “it can’t get any worse than that.” And then the next pick comes along shattering that idea.

Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

One of the things that's actually been kind of funny to watch this week, well, I, I should say, it'd be funny if it weren't, you know, the fate of the country at stake. But nevertheless, it's still kind of humorous because Donald Trump continues to pick people that are going to serve in his next administration. And every pick is somehow more hilariously incompetent than the previous pick. And it's been fun to watch because every pick that's come out, people keep thinking, okay, well it's not gonna get much worse than that, right? Like, how can you pick a dumber person? And then Trump turns around and picks an even dumber person. We all know, of course, that Marco Rubio has been selected for Secretary of State because he is absolutely a mental blank slate that has no thoughts of his own. So Trump can control him, make him do whatever he wants.

Then of course, we got Mike Huckabee as the ambassador to Israel, and that is going to end in utter devastation for Palestinians. We have a Fox News host, Pete Hegseth, who is going to serve as the Secretary of Defense, a man who was labeled an extremist and removed from duty on the Biden Agno, uh, inauguration, excuse me. We have Alina Haba, who's probably going to be Donald Trump's press secretary. She's having meetings in Mar-a-Lago right now about the job. And then of course, the dumbest of all. Elon Musk himself is going to be in charge of the Doge office, which he got to name himself after his Dogecoin, which itself was named after a meme that hasn't been popular in over 10 years. But sure, let's put the most immature man on the planet in charge of the Department of Government efficiency. But apparently Donald Trump did not trust Elon Musk enough to do this by himself.

So he's also pairing him with Vik Sami. And people across social media have of course, been quick to point out the fact that this is an office of government efficiency meant to slash government spending and get rid of waste. And yet you have two people that are gonna be doing the job of one person, which in and of itself is like the epitome of wastefulness. So off to a real bad start, also off to a bad start. When you claim that you're gonna be the small government guy, you're gonna slash government reduce the size. And your first order of business is to create a new government department that obviously is going to have to have employees, employees that are going to have to be paid salaries. So instead of actually making things more efficient, Trump has already, before taking office, made things more expensive, like he's wasting money to now

Find out where are we wasting money? Like, look in the mirror. There you go. But here's what gets me. This is the idiotic statement that Elon Musk, again, the most immature person on the planet, like I believe personally, that he's suffering from arrested development like he genuinely has the mentality. I can't say 15-year-old boy, 'cause I have a 15-year-old son, so I'm gonna say like a 12-year-old boy. But this is Musk's statement about how excited he is about this new job. All actions of the Department of Government deficiency will be posted online for maximum transparency. Anytime the public thinks we are cutting something important or not cutting something wasteful, just let us know. We will also have a leaderboard for the most insanely dumb spending of your tax dollars. This will be both extremely tragic and extremely entertaining, right? He's so funny. What a normal person.
