Trump has chosen President of the World Wrestling Entertainment to lead the Department of Education

Linda McMahon was a co-founder with her husband, Vince, of the wrestling company and also Trumps campaign co-chair.

It seems that requirements for Cabinet nominees include sexual abuse allegations, TV personalities, or wrestling enthusiasts.

which is a good number considering the massive turnover in his first term.

Vince is a human piece of shit.

He is telling us what he thinks of us and our country.

And he has chosen his band of thugs to take the country down to the studs.

And he is hiring a cast of characters.

For narcissists like Trump they have a movie playing in their head all the time.
They are the only star of the show, everyone else is just a prop.

remember Linda McMahon from WWE Monday Night Raw during the 90's and '00s. I can never not picture her as playing the character she did on that show. This is definitely a clown show.

Trump has deliberately nominated people who are unabashed idiots or traitors or sexual harassers for cabinet posts. I mean, what the hell?

As somebody elsewhere on DU mentioned, these people would serve only as figureheads while the real culprits would operate covertly.
