Donald Trump obviously learned nothing during his first chaotic term, evidenced by his unqualified cabinet nominees

"No amount of blame-shifting, false equivalence or reality-distorting can cover up the insanity, chaos, incompetence and callousness that is Trump."

Opinion letter below my comment, published in the Beaver County Times, a Pennsylvania newspaper:  

Makes no sense for Donald Trump to nominate incompetent loyalists to the positions where they can do the most harm to averge people regardless of age, race, immigrant status or political opinions. When he nominates the unqualified Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFKjr) to be the Secretary for Health and Human Services, Trump is falling victim to the proven cliche about insanity- "doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result", a phrase often attributed to Albert Einstein, meaning that repeatedly performing the same action while hoping for a different outcome is considered illogical or foolish. In other words, "Wash, Rinse, Repeat".

As a refresher to provide proof of the above, this opinion letter (below) is a reminder about just how bad the "repeat" cycle can be, unless Trump nominates qualified people to crucial health care leadership positions.  

Trump’s response to the pandemic has been indefensibly disastrous❗ That does not prevent disciples of his political cult from defending him, for example, in a letter sent to this paper from April 26. No amount of blame-shifting, false equivalence or reality-distorting can cover up the insanity, chaos, incompetence and callousness that is Trump. More than anything, it's his own words that prove that.

Remember when he praised the tests we still don’t have and compared them to his Ukraine call? “The tests are all perfect, like the letter was perfect. The transcription was perfect. Right?”

Last month at the CDC, Trump bragged from beneath his red hat, “Every one of these doctors said, ‘How do you know so much about this?’ Maybe I have a natural ability.”

Then on April 24: “I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning?”

"I'd rate it a 10," Trump has said of his response.

“The numbers” are now more than 76,000 American lives lost.

"I don't take responsibility at all," said 😒😠Trump.  (Politico)

When asked in March about bringing coronavirus-stricken Americans ashore from a cruise ship, Trump said, “I don’t need the numbers to double because of one ship that wasn’t our fault.”
