Judging Trump by His Appointees

Read Time:2 Minute, 14 Second

We should all be thankful for Donald J. Trump’s policy of finding temporary employment for out-of-work and incompetent ne’er-do-wells. Think of how the unemployment rolls would have swelled if poor has-beens such as James Mattus, Rex Tillerson, John Kelly, HR McMaster, and John Bolton hadn’t been offered a government-assisted handout through the generosity of the greatest President of all time. What a pity that they couldn’t learn more efficiently through sitting at the feet of the Master of the Deal. What a pity that these unfit and ineffective bunglers had to be dismissed in the sake of the national interest.

Of those poor saps, it’s a particular shame that John Bolton couldn’t even find his voice and never appeared before either the House or Senate during their impeachment investigations. I have heard, however, that he has finally discovered the ability to write, likely with the aid of occupational therapy, and has actually produced a book. Unfortunately, it’s most probably the product of his vivid imagination and full of lies and distortions. Come on, if it’s a matter of “he said-he said” between Bolton and Trump, who would ever doubt the veracity of the Donald. First, there was Honest Abe. You recall him, he was the President who ranks second to the current office holder as having done most for African Americans in the US. Now we have Unbiased Donald, the embodiment of the word veritas. So don’t believe a word in the Bolton book.

But not all of the people placed in office by Donald Trump have fizzled out. Luckily, some of the President’s other appointments have demonstrated brilliance in office. Think of where this poor country would have been if not for the insight and educational leadership of Betsy de Vos heading up the Department of Education. Wasn’t it she who first figured out how to remove all students from this country’s public schools, by emptying those classrooms for fear of the “Chinese flu.”

Think of all of the important innovations introduced by Ben Carson, fully demonstrating how a knowledge of neurosurgery is easily applied to the problems of housing for the poor.

Most of all, we should be truly amazed at the way that William Barr has placed his personal stamp on the Department of Justice. In just a short time, we cannot help but marvel at the way that he has transformed the concepts of fairness and justice for all. For those of us who had wondered whether justice was truly blind, Bill Barr has guaranteed this is so–by poking its eyes out.
