White House economic adviser struggles with question on monetary policy

DEI, business as usual.

Trump’s Presidential Cabinet consisted mostly of would-be-loyalist, his regime of MAGA Cultist he’s trying to put together [ HELL, He’ll need to go see Manson if he wants to do it right ].

1.) Trump's instincts net unqualified Cabinet nominees

* Nor does Jackson, who currently serves as the White House physician, spout the most fantastical gibberish. His onetime claim that Trump’s constitution is that of a superman who might live to 200 doesn’t rise to the level of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos’ visions of schoolyard grizzlies, because Jackson did concede that Trump had probably squandered such longevity with too many fries and too little fiber

* Trump’s most distinctive traits and disturbing tropisms: his obsession with looks; his disregard for relevant experience; his indulgence of decisions that make him feel good in the instant, consequences be damned; and above all, his itch to marinate in as much flattery as possible.

* Trump heard the siren’s song, and last month when he fired Veterans Affairs Secretary David Shulkin, he announced his intention to put Jackson in the job. But that resolve wavered on Tuesday, following reports that members of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee were investigating claims that Jackson drank excessively and allowed the overprescribing of drugs.

2.) Loyalty Above All: The “Shallow State” of the Trump Administration

“Regardless of that disagreement, Trump’s solution to his so-called “deep state” problem has not been a carefully considered pruning or reorganization of the U.S. government. Instead, he has divested many executive branch positions of competence and expertise, and installed supporters whose most significant attribute appears to be political loyalty to him rather than deep experience and professional excellence.”

“we’ve compiled a list of Trump appointees across the administration’s national security apparatus — the intelligence agencies, the State Department, the Defense Department, the White House, and other elements — whose tenure has been marked by questions about their qualifications and competency or whose appointments appeared to be improper or even illegal.”

3.) Despite Recent Additions, Trump Cabinet Still Emptier Than Predecessors'
FEBRUARY 9, 201711:46 AM ET

With the Senate's confirmation this week of Betsy DeVos as education secretary, Jeff Sessionsas attorney general and Tom Price to lead Health and Human Services, Trump now has just seven members of his Cabinet confirmed. By this point in 2009, President Obama had 12 Cabinet members in place and President George W. Bush had his entire 14-member Cabinet.
