For Donald Trump and his Republican allies, competence has ceased to be a prerequisite for leadership. In the incoming Trump administration, only unwavering loyalty to the former president seems to matter.
Trump has constructed what can aptly be termed a "DEI Cabinet" – not for diversity, equity, and inclusion, but rather for dishonesty, extremism, and incompetence.
The deficiencies of Trump’s Cabinet nominees are glaringly apparent. These individuals, marred by scandals, lack the expertise or moral compass to serve the American people.
Critics have labeled this administration authoritarian, oligarchic, or even plutocratic. But what the nation truly faces is a kakistocracy: a government run by the least qualified and most unprincipled.
The adage that second-rate leaders hire third-rate people rings particularly true here. Trump’s penchant for surrounding himself with sycophants ensures that dissent is silenced, competence is overlooked, and the needs of the public are neglected. His administration serves not the "forgotten man" he championed during his campaign, but instead his personal interests and ambitions.
Ultimately, the "DEI Cabinet" reflects Trump’s governance style—chaotic, self-serving, and detached from reality. Without a coherent plan, his administration threatens to undermine institutions and prioritize self-enrichment over national progress.
As Americans, we must demand better leadership, rooted in integrity, competence, and accountability.
