With Donald Trump’s victory in the Presidential election, his picks for Cabinet positions and other various appointments have been revealed. These picks are equally as terrifying as his second term is. Elon Musk was appointed to oversee a new department, DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), despite promises to slash as many government programs and departments as possible. Robert F. Kennedy (RFK) Jr. was named secretary of Health and Human Services, an ironic position for someone who contracted a brain worm. There is a WWE Executive who was appointed Secretary of Education. This is pure insanity.
These are not people who should be involved in the United States Government. Musk is the exact kind of person with unlimited money able to heavily influence the political world without even having to be in it. Now, he is apparently heading up a department designed to pick and choose which government programs and departments are necessary to keep.
“Government Efficiency” is just a different way of saying, “We want to cut government spending that is essential to the middle class and working Americans because we think the economy works better when as much money as possible is concentrated into the few hands who know what to do with it.” Musk is one of these people. He will cut his taxes and raise yours, claiming it’s for the efficiency of the government.
RFK Jr. is indicative of the revenge plot that is seeming to characterize Trump’s second term. The two feel like there is a massive conspiracy against them. While they are in the White House, they are going to be trying to exact revenge on those who wronged them. For Trump, this is against the “radical left dems.” For RFK, this is against institutions who “murdered his father and uncle,” and against most health and safety regulations. He has expressed deep disdain and anger towards the CIA, which he claims is responsible for deaths in his family, the classic conspiracy theory. He already stated he was going to get rid of fluoride in the water, another conspiracy theory. All fluoride does is promote better oral health, proven by the decades of recorded improvements in dental and oral health.
We are allowing this person into one of the most important positions in the government and he is nothing more than a vengeful conspiracy theorist. If he wasn’t born into essentially American royalty, he would be wearing a tinfoil hat and screaming in the streets. These people being put into important positions like these is extremely dangerous for the future of our nation. There are safeguards in place to keep us from total catastrophe, but the fact remains that the future, at least for the next few years, is not looking bright for the vast majority of Americans.
