I just heard a report that Trump is considering the current and the former CEO of ExxonMobil, Rex Tillerson and Lee Raymond, as possible choices for Secretary of State.
I am having trouble wrapping my head around this.
It is absolutely stunning to think that anyone could think that either of these men is qualified to be the chief diplomat of the United States.
It smacks of oligarchy, not democracy.

Scary. Could be in for a rough ride.

I was afraid to begin with, but each day seems to bring another example of how unprepared Trump is. Many of the cronies he is choosing for posts are extreme in their views.

I believe the U.S. was born of, constituted by, oligarchy.

Unfortunately. I had thought we had learned to be more democratic and more respectful of rights and responsibilities. The populist-sounding candidate becomes the president with cabinet of billionaires. One wonders if we will see the same reaction as in the UK after Brexit – be careful what you wish for because you may not like it if you get it.

Like one guy I heard said… he isn’t draining the swamp like he promised, he is inviting in the alligators.

I swear I get more scared with each day. The lack of qualifications is just stunning.
