Trump's Picks: A Reality Show Cabinet?

Washington DC, USAFri Nov 15 2024
In just one week, President Trump's second term has already taken a surprising turn. Late-night hosts like Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, and Stephen Colbert have been poking fun at Trump's unusual cabinet picks. One pick that raised eyebrows was Robert F Kennedy Jr, a vaccine denier and conspiracy theorist, being chosen as the director of health and human services. Jimmy Kimmel joked that this was like having a reality TV show cast running the country. Seth Meyers pointed out that some of these picks, like Matt Gaetz for attorney general, were quite controversial. Gaetz is currently under investigation for alleged crimes, and his nomination came together quickly on Trump's plane. This has even shocked some longtime Republicans. Stephen Colbert added that these picks seem to be based on who Trump sees first, rather than their qualifications. He joked that Kennedy's beliefs about vaccines and conspiracies are quite extreme. Kennedy has even suggested that chemicals in water can turn kids gay, which Colbert found ridiculous. Overall, these late-night hosts are highlighting the unexpected and questionable choices Trump is making for his cabinet.
