When he is not engaged in a Twitter spat with Alec Baldwin, Trump is busy assembly his team to unite America.
For his Cabinet, Trump has nominated a racist to head the Justice Department; wants to put a climate change denier and shill for fossil fuels in charge the EPA; nominated an anti-public school billionaire for education secretary; tapped a fast-food executive and critic of raising the minimum wage for labor secretary; has chosen for Health and Human Services a congressman and orthopedic surgeon who is committed to dismantling the Affordable Care Act and privatizing Medicare.
Trump has appointed his closest adviser – a misogynistic, anti-Semitic white supremacist – as his chief strategist.
And for comic relief, the president-elect is considering Bobby Valentine, a veritable paragon of tact and diplomacy, as America’s next ambassador to Japan.
If you are not outraged, you are not paying attention.
