To his detractors, President-elect Donald J. Trump’s cabinet looks like a rogues’ gallery of people with dubious credentials and questionable judgment. His supporters see something different.
“It’s a masterpiece,’’ Eileen Margolis, 58, who lives in Weston, Fla., and owns a tattoo business, said of Mr. Trump’s cabinet picks unveiled over the past week. “If it was a painting, it would be a Picasso.”
A “brilliant alliance,’’ is how Joanne Warwick, 60, a former Democrat from Detroit, described many of the nominees.
“It’s pretty much a star cast,’’ said Judy Kanoui of Flat Rock, N.C., a retiree and lifelong Democrat who voted for Mr. Trump for the first time this month.
Democrats, and even some Republicans, worry that these nominees for top positions in government are inexperienced, conflicted and potentially reckless. But in interviews with almost two dozen Trump voters around the country, his supporters were more likely to describe them as mavericks and reformers recruited to deliver on Mr. Trump’s promise to shake up Washington.
In Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nominee for health and human services secretary, Mr. Trump’s supporters see a crusader searching for new solutions to chronic illnesses, not a conspiracy theorist promoting questionable and debunked ideas about vaccines and fluoride.
In Matt Gaetz, the nominee for attorney general, many Trump s
upporters look past the ethical investigation into allegations that he had a relationship with a 17-year-old girl and see a provocateur who is willing to punish the Democrats who unjustly prosecuted the president-elect. “I think it’s so crazy, and I love it,’’ Merrill McCollum, 60, of Bozeman, Mont., said of the nominees.
Ms. McCollum said she voted for Mr. Trump after becoming frustrated by bureaucracy, identity politics and the rising cost of living. She is excited by his appointments of people she sees as outsiders to...

NYT, have you looked at Biden’s cabinet? STHU
Bkmk
If Gaetz is not confirmed the wrath of Trump should be unleashed on GOPe RINOs
Most of his voters are thrilled and with the flak we are getting, we’re right over the target.
Of course they would and there lies the issue
The dc biosphere
“Panned in Washington” pretty much tells you what’s wrong.
Trump,Vance and all of the cabinet picks. That’s what we need a Giant Huge Mural of ! Where are the street artist ?
Matt Gaetz, Trump’s pick for attorney general, had been a subject of a sex trafficking investigation:
It seems that Matt Gaetz has been the subject of a fishing expedition by those who are threatened by his AG position (i.e. the elimination of stock trading by House members).
Americans didn’t like Joe Pedo’s pathetic picks either but the fags in the media mafia didn’t beat them to death.
Isn’t it amazing how magic sex scandals always appear at just the right time to derail conservative politicians?
It’s like how they open the trunk of a mystery car and find thousands of votes, right at the last minute.
Gaetz will be AG, period.
By confirmation or by recess, Gaetz will be in that AG seat for the first two years.
Even if the recess option were not live, do you seriously think the Senate jackals would rather DeSantis appoint Gaetz to replace the outgoing Rubio senate seat?
Snicker.
Suffice it to say, Gaetz will be in their grill daily, one way or t’other.
And that's different from the biden administration just how?
It's like democrats complaining about the morals and ethics of Trump's picks in light of Ted Kennedy and Bill Clinton (just to start with).
If u are a Republican law maker and do not approve Trump’s picks u need to be treated like how the left treats people who do not believe in their lies of global warming
Kick that crackpot RFK to the curb and I’ll be satisfied with the rest.
I've been doubting Trump's political acumen for the past two years. He's proven me wrong EVERY SINGLE TIME!
Godspeed, President Trump, and if these are the people you want, well, you know best.
The funniest thing about RFK Jr. was the call I had to make to my total libtard Masters Degree educator brother.
I love him, but I knew he was totally butthurt that Trump won. Like I said, he's a total libtard.
So, to break the ice after Trump's massive victory I mentioned, "What do you think about fluoride in the water?"
He replied, "WE NEED TO GET RID OF IT!!! IT'S POISON!!! RFK JR IS ONE HUNDRED PERCENT CORRECT!!!"
He then proceeded to educate me on how fluoridated water was never about health but rather on how to achieve a more efficient means to separate slag from iron ore during WWII mining processes.
I was taken aback. And then I realized how Trump won.
