After this past election, America has been eagerly waiting to see how Mr. Trump was going to handle his new job. So far his actions have only led to more questions and more controversy. He has a pattern of choosing CEO's and executives from big businesses and corporations, which brings me back to the 'draining the swamp' policy he threw around during his campaign. So far he has appointed a well known white supremacist as his chief strategist, a man who does not believe in global warming and at one point tried to disband the EPA as the head of the EPA, a politician who ran for president on a platform that included scrapping the Energy Department as the Energy Secretary. Yet people support these decisions.

If you had to pick a babysitter, would you chose someone who was on trial for child abuse? Probably not and if you would, how do you have a computer in jail? The Pope wouldn't chose an atheist to run a Catholic church. His proposed Labor Secretary does not support labor unions, which are mainly a middle class working institution... a group he focused on during his campaign and a traditionally republican backed sect of the U.S. On top of all of this he has chosen a woman who has never attended a public school as the Education Secretary, and this may seem good because she has a well rounded view on educational policies and approaches to learning, but private schools are not run by the government. I have hopes that she will do well in this position, but I honestly view this as I would view an English teacher being hired to teach Calculus... They may be great at what they know, but they know nothing about what they've been hired to do.

The only choices that I view as 'tolerable' are the retired military officers he has appointed. A grand total of four, after he made claims of knowing more about military operations and ISIS than the Generals do. He has appointed two Marine Corps Generals to his cabinet. To continue my patterns of similes here, this is like saying you know more than a teacher, then asking that same teacher to tutor you the next day. It is absurd that the principles he ran on of draining the swamp, only led to him appointing the heads of big business and some rather unqualified individuals to government positions of power.

We are witnessing a child who cannot commit to a single decision, and can't help but whine about anything that doesn't go his way. Saturday Night Live portrayed this phenomenon almost perfectly, by parodying Trump's cabinet picks by portraying Walter White, the high school chemistry teacher who cooked meth in the show 'Breaking Bad,' as his head of the DEA. I hope these picks do better than I, and others are predicting them to.
