Do you get the sense we have seen an abnormal amount of press coverage of the Trump cabinet appointments, or in some cases, non-appointments, compared to other President-elects? By abnormal I just mean a lot more and a lot closer coverage.

      I only ask that question because in all honesty I really don't recall much coverage at all in prior administrations, beyond, "President-elect _______ nominated _______ to this cabinet post today."

      I'm willing to concede my perception may be clouded by age, failing memory or just general lack of interest in prior administrations. But if anyone else has had the same perception, I'm curious what people think the effect of that extra scrutiny has been or will be on either the appointees or early coverage of this administration. Is this just a precursor to the detail in which literally every single item associated with the Presidency is covered maybe to the point of ad nauseam?
      I think you may be right, Hovey. I also think that given Trump's displayed ignorance on many issues, his history of unpreparedness and impulsivity, together with his prior policy positions on The Wall, discriminating against Muslims, marginalizing NATO, and giving tax breaks for the very wealthy, the world is desperate to know who will really be running things.

        Obama nominated a respected nuclear physicist to head the Department of Energy. Trump picked the 12th-place finisher on Dancing with the Stars. That's why there's more scrutiny. We want an accurate record of exactly how you ****ed us over.

          But then, Hillary didn't run on "draining the swamp," did she?

          And it's clear she would've picked fewer generals and business people than Trump. She would've likely picked people with actual government experience.

              Guys, this is all a lot of blah blah blah. Trump could nominate the next coming of Albert Einstein or he could nominate Bozo the Clown. It'll all have the same effect, which is Trump will do what Trump will do regardless of whatever the very people he's chosen to nominate tell him. If you want to influence Trump get to his daughter or son-in-law. Otherwise you're wasting your time. Everybody else is window dressing.

                Which is why she lost. For better or for worse, the electorate wanted nothing to do with business as usual.

                  Yeah, but Hillary didn't run a campaign on *not* hiring those people.

                      Maybe. But the Donald was supposed to be different. Draining the swamp, and all that.

                      Suckers.

                      The reason we may be hearing more about Trump's cabinet appointments is because he's treating the process like an episode of Celebrity Apprentice.

                          I remember when Republicans actually used to hate the Russians. Now they want to sell our country out to them.

                            It's OK now that they're a oligopolist strongman regime, rather than a socialist strongman regime.
