... out of their fucking minds...
Was about to comment almost exactly this.
His "experts" are all cronies - and they're not even slightly interested in the plight of the people, including the retirement prospects of 71 year old Mrs. Redlich.
Having any faith that Trump's administratiom will do anything except line their wallets with tax payer money and do their upmost to fuck over Ukraine is morbidly stupid.
It's worse than that. Most of his cabinet picks are not only not experts in their assigned fields, not even knowledgeable in them, but are actively antagonistic toward them. They wish to limit, downsize or outright destroy the departments under them, or else twist them so severely that they are essentially the polar opposite from their intended purpose. They sure as shit are not here to fix anything. They're here to actively break things they hate.
You're telling me that the CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment isn't the most qualified person to lead the Department of Education? ShockedPikachuFace
who was also in his first term, as the head of SBA.
To be fair. A lot of these people also have faith that because they said the right words to an imaginary being, they will be "saved" after they die.
Yes, they're out of their fucking minds.
I highly doubt it. Dealers seldom gets high on their own supply, that belief is reserved for the people they knowingly con about it.
Exactly. The comment above referenced "Having any faith that Trump's administratiom will do anything except line their wallets with tax payer money and do their upmost to fuck over Ukraine is morbidly stupid."
And many of those that have said faith, also have faith in other stupid things.
