"President Donald Trump made a clear calculus when he was stocking the highest ranks of his administration after the 2024 election: The premium would be on loyalty and disruption, often at the expense of demonstrated competency," writes Aaron Blake | Analysis https://cnn.it/4plqKep

Trump can’t hire competency because they would be more likely to resist his autocratic tendencies. By hiring loyalists, he has no such fears.

Trumpy clearly understands that stupid and incompetent people can be controlled so easily, compared to those who truly understand what they're doing. All you have to do is listen to the ravings of those around the cabinet table when their dear leader is present

These unqualified appointees know that they would not have been selected by any other president. They owe everything to Trump in a way that more qualified nominees would not.Authoritarians around the globe often appoint inexperienced or even clownish figures to high office precisely for this reason.

His picks were approved by the Senate. The government body that should have said No. Because of this we live in a chaotic and dangerous country. The checks and balances need to be restored.
