Trump fills out cabinet as divisive picks shock Washington

All eyes were on Donald Trump's transition team Thursday, after a series of provocative and startling cabinet choices that showed the president-elect's preference for absolute loyalty above experience or expertise.

Trump has been rapidly rolling out his foreign policy and national security picks, but he is expected to shift focus over the coming days to key figures to enact his domestic agenda.

The Republican leader has yet to select treasury and commerce chiefs to help set tax and trade policy, a health secretary to oversee abortion, transgender care and a host of other potential flashpoints, or someone for education -- a department Trump wants to abolish.

He told podcaster Joe Rogan in an interview before last week's presidential election that his biggest mistake during his first term in the White House was hiring "bad people, or disloyal people."

It’s always committed conservatives who are divisive, never committed liberals. In the liberal mind they should continue to rule even when they loose elections.

The first try is peaceful. The left should want it to work.

But of course all of Biden’s tranny picks aren’t divisive.

Those that find them most divisive are those that expect re-cycled failed politicians from yesteryear who created the mess we're in now.

And just how many of the positions he filled so far can someone have experience in?

Besides, people aren't stupid. They can learn.

And honesty and integrity goes much further than *experience* any day. *Experience* means squat if there's corruption.

Besides who on the left is qualified to judge who is experienced for the job? Do THEY have the experience or expertise to make that determination that someone is unqualified?

The picks are only divisive if the democraps decide to make them so.

What experience does ANYONE have for most of those job positions?

You just can’t get it.

Besides, in swamp lingo, *experience* more often than not = DS bought and controlled.
