As I See It: The cabinet Trump and we deserve
As I watch the Senate hearings on Donald Trump’s nominees, I am baffled: America just elected a great sinner for our new president, but the liberal senators expect his ministers to be saints. They are denying the new leader his kind of government, expecting a government run by the 12 disciples. America cannot love Trump without loving his minions. The nation just bathed in a cesspool and expects to smell like Irish roses.
Barry De Jasu: Do people really think Trump cares about them?
