IOW he is picking proven, successful people, which is a good sign, showing he is serious about working to "make America great again".

Which is something bordering on revolutionary. Instead of hiring lawyers, "lifetime politicians," theoreticians from academia or the biggest donor to the Democratic Party, Trump is hiring people with real world experience.

I think he should hire unemployed people off the street, preferably with no work experience, and less than an eighth grade education.

So what do these idiot critics want? Do they want him to pick losers, hobos, drug-addicts, anti-American terrorists, the mentally ill, farm animals, sea sludge or microbes???? What whining lunatics.

Trump promised to hire the best and the brightest.

Who knew the best and the brightest would mean some rich people who had proven themselves in a business environment, or upper levels of Military staff service?

How dare he! And he’s keeping his word too. What a jerk! /s

Wouldn’t catch a Democrat keeping their word.

“How dare he pick the best people!”

When he could be picking community organizers and other “overachievers”.

You know you can’t win. If he did pick those people he would be criticized for not picking people of “experience”.

“No, he should pick people from National Review’s cocktail parties.”

Over-educated morally narcissistic nitwits who were so pure they couldn’t see all the really great things Trump was going to do for conservatism and the country.

What they really wanted was a Rubio or Romney because they looked ‘presidential’. Symbolism over substance
