I assumed he had to have more skills than he's shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed he had to have more skills than he's shown. I can't figure him out. Frankly, I was OK with his appointment but that was based on the assumption that he would do what is best for the country regardless of what Trump is promoting. Now it looks as if he either doesn't recognize what the basic strategy of our foreign policy should be, or he's simply adapting Trump's positions. Either is bad for the country.

Ok with his appointment? Damn homer. He is an oilman who was adopted by the kremlin. He is the worst of the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the worst of the worst. I was giving him the benefit of doubt and comparing him to some of the other appointments like Pruitt for EPA and Rick Perry for energy. Despite his business dealings with Russia, I didn't expect him to be in accord with Trump on NATO and Brexit (for example). I was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexava 6,973 Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 I almost forgot about the labor secretary. The Hardee's guy that didn't make it. His picks couldn't possibly be worse. Just too many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
