•Why they’re terrified of Trump’s cabinet picks
65% Informative
The president-elect’s band of rogue outsiders really could pose a threat to the cosy DC establishment.
Pete Hegseth for secretary of defence, Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence, Matt Gaetz for attorney general and Robert F Kennedy Jr for head of Health and Human Services .
Critics have used his cabinet picks to give an I told you so lecture to Americans who, in their view, were stupid enough to vote for this supposedly wicked man.
The Biden administration's screw-ups have led many Americans to be open to giving Trump ’s cabinet nominees a chance.
But two of his picks Gaetz and RFK Jr are particularly poor choices.
They are unlikely to help Trump in his mission to reform the bureaucracy.
Gaetz is the subject of sexual-misconduct accusations (allegedly including underage girls) and drug use.
