It's both hilariously bad and depressing.

Let's see who we've got here so far:

Elon Musk - Literally the richest man on Earth helping run the Ameri$$$an government. Also, DOGE.

That one guy who became the defence secretary whose only qualification was being on Fox News.

RFK Jr. as health minister when he has wacky pseudoscientific views.

Pedo Gaetz.

DOCTOR. OZ.

And the funniest of them all, the elephant in the room, though he is only a potential candidate right now:

ALEX. JONES. AS. PRESS. SECRETARY.

The AmeriKKKan empire is becoming a circus, a fitting end.

    It’s great. It’s also irrelevant because he’s gonna fall out with half these people before they even officially start work, the rest will be out by June 2025

      The only reason he hasn't tried to get Hannibal Lecter to be the head of the FDA is not because he's a fictional character, but because he thinks he's recently deceased.

        Fox News could have done a prank and occasionally some random guy appeared who they called their "crime and medicine expert". Also "Hannibal Lecter" was on the chyron for an extraordinarily long time with each appearance. Trump would have at least nominated him to be Assistant Director of the FBI or something.

    Obviously Alex Jones is an evil man who should be buried in sand with his head exposed and left to die of exposure. But it would be extremely fitting for him to be US Press Secretary. He's already the character of American US Propaganda Chief ripped from the most unsubtle political satire ever written.

      Gorbachev had more of a Dubya style cabinet. All more competent than he was, following a more malicious agenda.

      Trump II's feels like something out of the Tropico video game series, it's all grifters and fools.

    Yeah, I guess it's bad for the future of the US and mankind in general and stuff, but I appreciate that the ghouls in charge are going to be media clowns I already know and hate.

    For once they don't roll out some new vaguely human-shaped sexual harrassment fungus called Kevin McFrumpus who we all have to pretend is a very real and important person now

    They’re just as ghoulish and terrible as whatever freaks would have been chosen by a different president. (Except Bernie, of course.) Larry Summers is a horrific monster, for instance. The difference is that Trump’s picks are buffoons that people have heard of and tend to be repugnant in ways that the usual running dogs aren’t.

      Yeah this was my thought too. Jones historically hasn't been keen on Israel, just earlier this year he called them genocidal. But he's also a weathervane. He says whatever he thinks will get him the most attention.
