President elect Trump's New Cabinet.

 It is way too early to judge the quality of President elect Trump's new cabinet, but it is beginning to look as though he is doing his best to not have to argue with any of his cabinet about policy, or the way in which he functions.  There do not appear to be any independent voices in the group that is emerging.  All of the people he has selected to date are qualified and appear to agree with him about policy, but my suspicion is that a common denominator among them is agreement that Trump alone will do the thinking and enunciate all important policy decisions.  Their task is to implement those decisions, not contribute significantly in developing them.  I expect Trump's involvement in each area of governance to vary depending on his appreciation of its importance at the time a given question comes up.  I should hasten to add that I do not see any of this as being unusual as a new president approaches the presidency.

Trump's first term, combined with his banishment from Washington, has "educated" our next president and lessons learned will color his decisions going forward.  I expect him to try to purge WOKE thinking from all positions of influence within the entire federal government and reverse any and all policies that support it.  I expect this aspect of his presidency to fuel the "Resistance" that his Democrat antagonists are attempting to mount nationwide, but most of the yelling will be about global warming, democracy, and his gross insensitivity.  Specifics will be hard to find in any argument, at any level of society.  

I expect Trump's presidency to improve our economy, make significant gains in securing our cities, and reduce the amount of open warfare that is going on throughout the world.  How much success he has in each area depends on factors that I do not now understand.  I do not expect him to heal the ridiculous rifts that are destroying our unity.  At best, he will merely suppress one side of the inane internal argument.  Should his term be judged successful by the general public, his policies will be continued into a successor administration.  Should they be judged unsuccessful he will be replaced by those that he banished, and we will flip flop once again.  Trump will be blamed and cheered, but the real action is out here in the town square.  Unless you and I start thinking, we are going to be stuck with this ridiculous situation until one or another of us decides to blow the world up.
