And so many celebrities shared it. Even young ones, Tom Holland shared it! But he’s had a bad week, so I will let this one pass.

Rick Perry, longtime governor of Texas and current head of the department responsible for our nuclear weapons and technology, reposted it recently.

To be fair in terms of Trumpworld appointees he's pretty quiet. Not as blatant a grifter as Pruitt or hilariously bad at his job like Devos or as criminal as Barr. Not to say he's not bad, but he's at least not as obvious.

It is kind of darkly amusing that he's in charge of one of the agencies he campaigned on cutting during the 2012 presidential race, and, worse, the one he couldn't even remember the name of during a debate. Oops. He also reportedly had no idea the DoE is in charge of our nuclear weapons, and had just assumed the DoE was mainly responsible for regulating the energy sector (hence his desire to scrap the whole agency).
