. Seth Meyers takes a closer look at President-elect (so far), Donald Trump, who is continuing to fill his cabinet with wealthy elites and hardliners. Trump became the hero of many gullible working class Americans by claiming that only he is capable of standing up to special interests for them. It turns out, only he is capable of standing up and asking those special interests to become part of his cabinet.Trump’s ‘special voters’ still believe that Trump eschews the trappings of wealth, because he posed with KFC and a spork. While Trump is tacky, he is not a selfless, self-funding friend of the working man, and his cabinet picks are living proof of his disregard for all Americans who make less than $200 million per year. It is also a profound example of Trump’s blatant disregard for common sense, and his aversion to taking advice from anyone other than sycophants.
If someone with a highly developed sense of the absurd set out to form a live version of the ‘Legion of Doom’ – the bad-ass villains of the comic world, they might select the very people Trump has pegged for the key positions in his cabinet. Warning, this piece is extremely surreal. Each candidate is someone whose background, financial interests and lack of training, make them the worst possible candidate to head the office for which Trump has selected them.
