AP - Donald Trump Jr. say pushback against Cabinet picks proves they’re the disrupters voters wanted

PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Donald Trump Jr. said Sunday that the team now around the president-elect knows how to choose a Cabinet and build out an administration, unlike the time before his father first took office.

Any pushback that Donald Trump’s unconventional choices face from the Washington establishment proves that they are just the kind of disruptors the new administration and voters are demanding, the younger Trump said.

“The reality this time is, we actually know what we’re doing. We actually know who the good guys and the bad guys are,” he told Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures. “And it’s about surrounding my father with people who are both competent and loyal. They will deliver on his promises. They will deliver on his message. They are not people who think they know better, as unelected bureaucrats.”

After Donald Trump was elected in 2016, he stocked his early administration with choices from traditional Republican and business circles, tapping figures such as former Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson, who was his first as secretary of state.

Today, Trump is valuing personal allegiance above political experience.

1. Chump's first cabinet were big-money donors and political favors

Examples: Betsy DeVoss, Elaine Chao, Jeff Sessions, Ryan Zinke, Rex Tillerson, Louis DeJoy, etc.

2. Who here doesn't expect them to fire them all?

No one survived his first term. Or not many.

3. By the way, "Sunday Morning Futures" is Maria Bartiromo...

...one of the most egregious of the Trump sycophants. Absolutely no critical thinking or real journalism ever takes place on her show.

4. You are so full of BS that it stinks to high hell, as anything you usually says does.

5. Let the firings begin...

No kiss-up will be good enough

7. "They are not people who think they know better"

Wait, so they all *know* they are ridiculously unqualified for those posts? Phew, what a relief. And here I was thinking they would show no self-awareness at all and grab the cabinet positions like kids snatching up free marshmallows.

(Sarcasm.)

Give me a break. Elon Musk is a sycophant who wrongly believes his wealth makes him a brilliant Renaissance man — in other words, a dilettante who thinks he knows better. Trump’s formal cabinet picks are much the same.

9. this guy is a class 5 clinger

anything he says otherwise of his father will sink his chance of walking away with something in the will.

we all know trump's selections are based on loyalty, who donates, and who has similar shifty traits as him
