As the list of Cabinet nominations keeps growing, I can't help but think either President Elect Cheeto doesn't know what the named departments actually do, or he just is nominating people to mess with them.
For example:

Your National Security Advisor is a firm believer and supporter of conspiracy theories (Flynn) and Chief Strategist is a Nazi, sorry, I mean alt right propagandist.

Labor Secretary Puzder is a CEO for fast food, and an expert at exploiting labor, but now is tasked with protecting them

EPA head Pruitt has literally made a career out of suing the EPA on behalf of the fossil fuel industry, and doesn't believe in climate change.

Treasury Secretary Mnuchin is leaving the fox in charge of the henhouse as a Goldman Sachs exec and zero government experience.

Linda McMahon of WWE fame is the head of the Small Business administration, after she's made her entire career out of crushing small independent businesses and potential competitors to the WWE.

It's like it's opposite day in Trump Tower, or no one has told his cheeseship that the goal of the Secretaries is to support the portfolio, not destroy it.

C'mon, it's not the least bit funny? That last one, WWE-lady, cracked me up. I feel like aristocracy compared to some of people Trump's nominating...It's becoming a joke.

That said, I heard the Naked Cowboy was at Trump Tower... Secretary of State?

Did you vote for him? If not, you aren't supposed to like his choices. Elections have consequences.

Who cares about elections or there "consequences". If certain folks aren't taking themselves seriously, then why should anyone else? In addition, the First Amendment ensures I can comment on anyone or anything I like. That's the way it works in this constitutional republic, friend.

That is what you need to do if you wish to roll back regulations.

It's not being trolled. It's being sold. Trump thinks the nation is a business. What do you expect from a man who knows absolutely nothing about the history of this nation. Highest bidder, folks--come on down! You want that land for copper mining to send copper to China? No problem! How much you gonna pay for it? You want to tear up the middle of the country to build a pipeline to pipe oil to China? No problem! How much you willing to pay for it? You want to gut the EPA to make it easier for both domestic and multinational corporations to ruin the land and water systems? No problem--just pony it up, friend!

Trump is a complete nightmare. An ignorant doofus who craves power. And he has tarnished this nation's reputation probably beyond repair. Well, the GOP has been systematically destroying our educational system for decades, then built a right-wing media system (Hannity, Jones, ad nauseum) to pump the now-ignorant with utter garbage and lies. And they've succeeded on a grand scale. Now step aside, everyone, while King Trump and his BFF Putin rule the world.

He's not draining the swamp; he's stocking it. What is it about that that you don't understand?
