President Trump is often placing top administration officials at the head of multiple federal agencies and offices — an approach that has little precedent. Read the full story. https://trib.al/LQNz771

There are only so many *completely* unqualified Republicans to pick from; they don't want to accidentally appoint someone who can think or, gasp, has some integrity. #TrumpRegime #TrumpChaos

Trump won’t appoint people against whom he holds no leverage. This is why his appointees are fulfilling multiple roles.

Hey, lil-Marco is being stretched so much that by the end of his term, he may be a couple of inches taller. Or, vise-versa, he maybe carrying so much load that by the end of his term, he may be a couple of inches shorter. 🤣

Marco Rubio, the sentient serape, is not smart enough to do one job let alone four. The fall of empires is so fucking stupid.

Looks like he is consolidating the power into a handful of easy to compromise and control idiots. A very fascist looking move.

Since they all suck at any job they’re given, does it matter if they’re given multiple jobs? It’s not like they’d be doing any better if they were in charge of a single agency.

If the only point of their job is to strip the government down and destroy their agencies, what does he need multiple chop-shop artists for? It only takes one man to run a wrecking ball regardless of the number of buildings he's ordered to destroy.

They're incompetent at one job so why not make them incompetent in multiple jobs? The federal government will be an intellectual waste land at the end of Trump's presidency.

Since all they do is tweet and suck up to the Dear Leader, I guess they can easily hold multiple jobs while not doing any of them.

This is called poor management. But it's on purpose. They're not interested in running the government, just controlling it. Using it to their advantage.
