In response to today’s Morning Jolt, readers are pointing out that all the underperforming cabinet officials named in the newsletter were selected by President Trump. Yes. That is how all cabinet officials get selected: by the president. It has long since been proven that Trump’s boast that he hires only the best people is absolute nonsense, as Trump himself often finds himself raging that his former cabinet officials and staffers were incompetent and disloyal.
But that’s also moot. Barring some horrible event, illness, or a successful impeachment, Donald J. Trump is going to remain the president until January 20, 2029. Between now and then, I would like him to have the most competent, qualified, and high-performing cabinet officials as possible around him.
