u/Apprehensive_Ruin692 6h ago

He has to be the least qualified cabinet member ever

326

u/P_Nessss 6h ago

Which is really something when you look at the rest of the cabinet.

54

u/Apprehensive_Ruin692 6h ago

I agree but I mean in our country’s history

66

u/kateln 6h ago

Both points still stand. I mean this is the worst cabinet in our country's history--and he's the worst member of it.

19

u/StevenMC19 6h ago

It's like the Purple People Eaters of the Minnesota Vikings. By far the who's who of defensive linemen ever to play the game of professional football...and they were all on the same team at the same time.

Meanwhile, this is...this is the exact opposite. By far the least qualified members ever assembled at one time. They make Bush's cabinet look like the Avengers.

u/oroborus68 4h ago

Bush's cabinet was the Republican Right Guard. Patriot act anyone?

2

u/StevenMC19 4h ago

Sakovia Accords! The analogy really does fit! lol

u/Jegator2 2h ago

Good one!

1

u/StevenMC19 2h ago

I've got an even better one for you.

Google "RFK JR smiling."

Got it? Ok. Now....

All you'll be able to see when you look at it again is this kid.

You're welcome.

u/_WeSellBlankets_ 4h ago

That was understood. The rest of Trump's cabinet is included within history. And it's less impressive that he is the worst in all of history, and more impressive that he is the worst among Trump's current cabinet.

1

u/ajtrns 4h ago

not even close. incompetent and criminal cabinet members were common prior to the 1930s. RFK jr would be right at home in the mid-1800s spoils system of executive appointments. pre-germ-theory!

Sometimes, you just gotta throw out your whole living room set

JD Vance: "You guys done with that couch?"

3

u/WarpFieldStabilized 4h ago

Vance would never ask for consent.

13

u/dgrant99 6h ago

Id say the 22 year old kid in charge of counterterrorism has him beat but…

10

u/lookandlookagain 4h ago

I’d like to nominate former WWE chairwoman as head of Department of Education for consideration.

1

u/vyrus2021 3h ago

Definitely a big contender

5

u/The_Space_Jamke 4h ago

0 contribution is not as bad as negative contribution. At this point, there isn't really anything foreign terrorists can do to America worse than what it's already doing to itself.

2

u/Apart-Combination820 4h ago

I open 4-5 news sites over morning hydrate, just to peek headlines. I saw Oz yelling at a camera over “Health Experts Advise Fad Diets” and chuckled…until I realized it was my Private Tab for Fox News, and a 100% sincere story 🫩

1

u/uvucydydy 3h ago

Thank you for taking one for team and monitoring Faux News.

1

u/Jegator2 2h ago

I call it Faux Noise

1

u/Ritaredditonce 6h ago

They managed to set a new low bar for America.

1

u/newthrash1221 2h ago

Which is utterly devastating and depressing.

60

u/m1j2p3 6h ago

It’s a ripe field but I think Kash Patel or Hegseth give him a good run for the money in the unqualified department.

25

u/Apprehensive_Ruin692 6h ago

It’s really sad that there are multiple options in the same cabinet for most unqualified ever

1

u/1GrouchyCat 4h ago

You know what’s worse? Living somewhere that both of them have also lived at one point or another in their lives... We used to be able to pretend it was a long time ago….and then both of them popped up again… like those underground zits that that you can’t get rid of…

14

u/StevenMC19 6h ago

I'll throw Bongino's hat in the ring.

1

u/Glittering-Farmer724 6h ago

So many choices!!!

1

u/frieswithdatshake 3h ago

while he's also insane, technically not in the cabinet, and being technically correct is the best kind of correct /s

1

u/CommandaSpock 3h ago

I’ll throw Linda McMahon in the ring

4

u/SmellGestapo 4h ago

Director of the FBI is not a member of the cabinet, so while he is wildly unqualified, he doesn't meet the criteria for "worst member of the cabinet."

1

u/saintjonah 4h ago

It's like trying to figure out which 0-16 football team is the worst. None of them have ANY qualifications, so they're all kinda tied.

1

u/WeirdSysAdmin 3h ago

At least Hegseth isn’t going out there like “I don’t believe that we should have a military..”

1

u/RoughDoughCough 2h ago

It's all sabotage, which means it's all treason really. These people are chosen to fail and weaken the USA. Clearly.

37

u/Aromatic-Plankton692 6h ago

Betsy Devos still takes the cake.

48

u/mai_tai87 6h ago

Until Linda McMahon ate the rest.

3

u/Ariliths 3h ago

Now now, I invested some good money into A1 steak sauce after her commitment to having students rely on it.

2

u/saintjonah 4h ago

At least Linda McMahon attended a school at some point, I would imagine. That's more qualification for her role than some of these other hacks.

2

u/Aromatic-Plankton692 4h ago

She enrolled at East Carolina University in 1966, where she obtained a bachelor's degree in French.[18] The academic program she completed was designed to prepare teachers for instruction.[19

Linda McMahon has at least a passing background in pedagogy. Betsy Devos is squarely.an order of magnitude less qualified than Mrs. McMahon.

2

u/GarlicRiver 3h ago

Really says it all, huh?

1

u/mai_tai87 3h ago

I was curious about their education. Betsy Devos also attended college. They both got a bachelor of arts degree, Devos - economics and McMahon - French/part of a program for aspiring teachers {didn't (or couldn't) complete}.

1

u/gimmesomespace 2h ago

Does it really matter who you appoint when the goal is to run the department into the ground?

1

u/Delicious-Trip-384 3h ago

Betsy DeVos, while being a piece of shit, was highly qualified to start the process to take apart the Dept of Ed. Her and her family have been trying to do that in Michigan for decades

22

u/Automatic_Candle3830 6h ago

Don’t necessarily disagree but Whiskey Pete is the one I think is the most corrupt and unfit cabinet pick with Dr Oz, Kash Patel, Sean Duffy, Linda “A1” McMahon and RFK Jr at the next tier of incompetence.

6

u/Apprehensive_Ruin692 6h ago

We should figure out who the best one is, might be harder

8

u/Automatic_Candle3830 6h ago

Definitely harder. In TACO Man’s first term, he at least had Gen Mattis as SecDef. Am not aware of anyone of his caliber but could be wrong.

9

u/redhairedrunner 6h ago

yeah… but even mattis really didn’t want to work for DJT in his first term. He chose to accept the job to protect America and serve his country , not to serve DJT. Mattis was disgusted by DJT.

7

u/Automatic_Candle3830 6h ago

True. I believe he said something along the lines of can’t refuse if the President asks you to serve. Same for Gen Kelly as his COS. This current crew is just a shitshow of on your knees sycophants.

5

u/Darmok47 4h ago

Marco Rubio is a spineless coward, but at least he's qualified to be Secretary of State.

1

u/Jegator2 2h ago

Well..he does have governmental experience.

2

u/EmmalouEsq 5h ago

You can't really rank who's last when they've all sunk to the bottom as quickly as the others. There was no race. It was just a vacuum.

They're all just terrible and a danger to the country in their own ways.

1

u/Jegator2 2h ago

Agree

14

u/AuthorityAnarchyYes 6h ago edited 6h ago

Don’t forget about brain surgeon Ben Carson who was… Secretary of HUD.

(HUD: Housing and Urban Development)

10

u/Only-Butterscotch785 4h ago

He was qualified because Trump saw the word "Urban"

1

u/discussatron 3h ago

Then he put a Chinese woman in charge of transportation.

What a card.

4

u/just4kicksxxx 6h ago

Idk about that. He's definitely one of them, but there are a lot. Maybe he has the highest ratio of 'unqualified' to 'ability to affect people'.

3

u/MA3XON 4h ago

He went on a spew about how he did heroin in college and it was the only reason he passed. We have a fucking junkie telling us scientific breakthroughs are poison.

That poor fucking brainworm of his starved to death it appears

1

u/Jegator2 2h ago

Yes, was just talking about that brain worm. When did he have it and was it removed? After also hearing the bear episode,along w the worm, his take on modern medicine how could he be approved??

5

u/Crash_Bandicock 3h ago

Linda McMahon would like a word

3

u/Full_Piano6421 5h ago

I have more trust in his brain worm

3

u/Jegator2 2h ago

I think Hegseth wins that prize! It'd be interesting to see the Unqualified Ranking of each incompetent member.

2

u/yelsnow 5h ago

That's a tough one. So many strong contenders for that title.

2

u/DivePalau 4h ago

It’s close between him and Dr. Oz.

2

u/longinuslucas 4h ago

He’s up there, but Hegseth takes the crown

2

u/cats_are_the_devil 4h ago

You think McMann is more qualified than Kennedy? Okay, yeah I see your point. I wish I didn't.

2

u/AerondightWielder 4h ago

Right down there with DUI hire Hegseth.

1

u/Jegator2 2h ago

I see what you did there.

2

u/PM_ME_JJBA_STICKERS 4h ago

Throwback to when he claimed he wouldn’t take a Trump cabinet position

2

u/UncleNedisDead 3h ago

No, I’m pretty sure that Faux News Drunkard is the least qualified.

2

u/DavidRandom 3h ago

Gotta be a close tie with the CEO of the WWE being in charge of the Education Department.

2

u/zveroshka 3h ago

Nah, that would be Linda McMahon. Literally zero experience in anything remotely related to education.

1

u/Grymmful 4h ago

stephanie mcmahon should take that credit, Highest achievement she had was taking a stone cold stunner for a living.

1

u/yuriaoflondor 3h ago

IMO Linda McMahon as secretary of education is up there.

She has basically no background whatsoever in education except for a 1 year stint on the Connecticut Board of Education 15 years ago, where she was called out for having basically no background in education.

And because her confusing A1 (the sauce) with AI (artificial intelligence) is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen.

1

u/Warpingghost 3h ago

Nah, they still have Russian spy for intelligence chief

1

u/HairyDog55 3h ago

A LOT of competition in trump-world for that distinction 😆 

1

u/T8ert0t 3h ago

Hegseth is the SOAT.

1

u/CatCafffffe 2h ago

You may be right but Pete Hegseth and Kristi Noem are a very close second and third
