A cabinet of dunces. In the Trump regime, incompetence is a job requirement.

Thus, far from setting out to institutionalize a sustainable right-wing revolution — like Ronald Reagan did, with some pernicious success — Trumpers are engaged in a project directed at sabotaging as much of the nation’s government, and destroying as much of its economic and political power, as possible.

To meet his nihilistic standards, Trump has systematically stocked the government with cronies that he demands perform incompetently.

Democratic senators who voted to confirm the few Trump cabinet nominees who had minimal qualifications for their jobs — such as Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent — have appeared shocked to see these Trump officials strenuously endeavoring to be just as incompetent, and morally obtuse, as Noem. But they should not have been surprised.

Competence is a barrier. Praying and obeying the orange pustule is a requirement.
