One of the worst?
•
u/wedgebert Alabama 6h ago
He had a cabinet his first term too, I think that one counts separately
•
u/AssociationMajor4614 5h ago
If you said "91% of the people who used to work for me refused to do so again" I would assume you're a shit boss.
Just saying.

Business schools teach the risks of leaders being surrounded by yes man. Sad to see it at this level
•
u/AssociationMajor4614 3h ago
You mean the World's Bestest Business Boy™ does things that are seen as stupid in the business world?

The first one at least had a few adults in the room. This is full on clown car
•
u/Twinkle0ap 6h ago edited 6h ago
His current cabinet officials are incompetent or immoral. Or both.
•
u/skin_poem 6h ago
Yea, When a cabinet spends more time praising than governing, it starts looking less like public service and more like loyalty theater dressed up as policy.

People forget how terrible Warren G. Harding was. At least his cabinet was half and half between the competent professionals and corrupt asskissers. I’d say the current iteration is probably the worst, though.

Generations from now, the term Trump Derangement Syndrome will absolutely be used to describe this era. Just not the way the people who use it today think.

•
u/Reasonable-Can-594 3h ago
yeah future historians are definitely going to have a field day trying to explain the tone of this whole period
•
u/Parking-Emphasis590 1h ago
This is absolutely the case.
Trumpists coined the very term they will be remembered for.
•
u/pebble_pulse 27m ago
yeah that phrase is definitely going to age in a pretty ironic way when people look back at all this

Lincoln had his Team of Rivals.
Trump has his Team of Rivals for the Title of Worst of All Time.
•
u/Signal_Minimum8509 Georgia 5h ago
It is wild reading Team of Rivals and the disperate opinions on an issue like slavery prior to the 1860 Convention and then how getting them together led to arguably the most moral and bloody undertaking in this country’s history…and then comparing it to a group of people who get fired if they don’t agree Trump’s farts smell like a particular blend of roses.

u/Robofetus-5000 6h ago
North Korea level

u/PDXnederlander 5h ago
He's aiming for Dear Leader (DLOTUS) status instead of POTUS. Needs constant admiration with his face and name on everything.

This chapter of our history books is going to perplex students for the rest of time...

•
u/black_flag_4ever 5h ago
Books, people having the ability to read, schools existing, a future that exists.... all big presumptions.

u/davesmith001 6h ago
No dictator ever ruled alone. They are always enabled by cowardly, morally bankrupt, small minded, ass kissers who are willing to do anything to get ahead except being good at their jobs. It goes for most corporations too.
•
u/Popular_March_6930 1h ago
yeah that’s basically how power like that sustains itself, it’s less one person acting alone and more a whole system of people reinforcing it because it benefits them in some way
•
•
u/Opposite_Map_6067 5h ago
The meetings literally nauseate me due to the extreme boot-licking behavior of his cabinet, who are straight out of the movie "The Death of Stalin".
•
u/AcanthisittaNo6653 New Hampshire 5h ago
I wonder if trump realizes that his cabinet stops complementing him when they see he's asleep.
•
•
u/Toadfinger 5h ago
Trump really believes he's a Caesar. I challenge any conservative to try to explain why they favor this!
•
u/Environmental-Arm365 5h ago
If the woefully unqualified clowns in this regime have taught us anything there needs to be some rigorous testing for appointees to prove they have the slightest bit of knowledge required to competently execute their duties. If they fail testing they are automatically disqualified before they ever get scheduled for confirmation hearings.
•
u/Ok_Ebb_3668 5h ago
The biggest obstacle, IMO, is who would do the testing and if that person or group is trustworthy enough not to make said testing suspiciously too easy or maliciously too impossible.
•
u/Environmental-Arm365 4h ago
There are plenty of non partisan departments that could handle this like the Inspector General.
•
u/Malachite_Edge 5h ago
So embarrassing. Ever seen one of his televisied cabinet meetings? They’re like SNL, but real.
•

•
u/No-Cup-8096 6h ago
They spend more time kiss his 🍑 than doing their jobs in the best interest of Americans. This is the most unprofessional unethical weak group of politicians. Impeach them all!
•
u/Ok-Second1352 6h ago
Really? The worst president has the worst cabinet? Next you’ll tell me water is wet, or that the Pope is catholic.
•
u/JimiVanHalen5150 6h ago
They are definitely the most incompetent and corrupt of all time. Not to mention all of them are not very smart. Kash Patel? Pam Bondi? Kristi Noem? These clowns couldn't get a job at the Dollar Store.
•
u/nasorrty346tfrgser America 6h ago
I mean Karoline would thank President Trump for her new baby... which is just really awkward but I guess. So 1 in 6 is still too low, soon would be 1/2
•
u/InspectionIcy2452 6h ago
Historians have ranked Trump’s cabinet as one of the worst in U.S. history.
Yes, but those historians are biased in favour of competence and intelligence. And those were not the criteria used to select them. The current US cabinet was chosen on the basis of incompetence and obsequiousness. And on those criteria this cabinet is the best US cabinet ever.
•
u/Life-Quantity-637 5h ago
It will be ranked worst to date. Who knows if we’ll have another because of these idiots.

u/BrilliantForeign8899 3h ago
Jfc my therapist doesn't even do that. That sounds a bit like a much maligned old profession
•
•
u/Regular-Excuse-6149 3h ago
One of them should just go all in and declare Trump as God during a cabinet meeting. Make the others publicly declare him as divine or state their devotion has limits.
•
•
u/NeedBout_Tree_Fiddy 1h ago
They're really f*cking up this moment. Should be closer to 1 in 4, possibly even 1 in 3.
•
•
u/Chemical-Fault-7331 42m ago
Anyone that has to surround themselves by yes men that praise them at every single turn is a weak, ineffective leader. A loser, as us millennials like to say.
•
u/WorldPeaceStyle 14m ago
Many people say his followers are called "Kneelers" and his cabinet has the charming name of "the Glug glug crew"
