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.

    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.

    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

      He'll just say whatever papa trump wants him to, he's not an agent of chaos or anything like that. Just a sycophant

      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.

    at this point I am convinced I live in a cartoon and Trump is the main character.

      At the very least, that's how Trump imagines the situation

      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.

    Linda McMahon for dept of education

    The United States is a joke but Jesus Christ we’re really outdoing ourselves this time around. I guess we figure if this is the end of the us we gotta go out with a bang

      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.

    Alex Jones

    But not the Alex Jones™©® character. Which is owned by the onion? So they can deepfake him legally and contradict everything Alex Jones (the guy with a social security number) says?

    Oh! Oh! They could call the other one the deep fake!

    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.
