Donald Trump spent Thanksgiving week leaking his potential cabinet picks, making Mitt Romney grovel and turning down security briefings. He also made the time to sit down with the New York Times to flatter and lie to them, which seemed to have inexplicably fooled the paper of record into saying look, he's not that bad. The next day, the Times ran a piece about how Trump was “diversifying” his cabinet appointments because look he gave Nikki Haley a job for which he has no respect and she has no qualifications, U.N. Representative. His appointments ping ponged between know nothings, right-wing ideologues the likes of which would make Dick Cheney blush, and gazillionaires who have gutted the very working class Trump once claimed to champion.
Here are some of the most deeply disturbing things we learned this week about the pussy grabbing birther in chief:
1. He loves the poorly educated so much, he wants to expand their numbers.
You may remember one of the more bizarre campaign statements Donald Trump made when talked about his love for the “poorly educated” after winning the Nevada primary. It was a true headscratcher for the slightly better educated who thought, who the hell says something like that? This week, Trump took steps to expand this demographic this week when he named AmWay heiress, anti-public school zealot Betsey DeVos as his pick for Secretary of Education. “As one of the architects of Detroit’s charter school program, she is partly responsible for what even charter advocates acknowledge is the biggest school reform disaster in the country,” is how an op-ed in the Times put it. Horrible on so many levels, DeVos is notably bad on education.
As an extra added bonus, DeVos is also active in anti-LGBTQ causes including some of her gazillions to fund thoroughly debunked, deeply inhumane, definitely not educational “gay conversion therapy.”
2. He literally does not mean one single thing that he says.
