According to CNN, Trump has picked yet another extremist for an important administration position, namely, top scientist at the USDA. According to the article, he has no qualifications whatsoever for the job, other being up to his neck in far right politics.
According to the CNN piece, he has
maintained a now-defunct blog for years in which he accused progressives of "enslaving" minorities, called black leaders "race traders," and labeled former President Barack Obama a "Maoist" with "communist" roots.
Politico also carries a devastating piece about him, although they don’t seen to care much about the hate mongering and prefer to concentrate on his complete lack of qualifications for the job.
From the Politico piece:
These days in Washington, Clovis’ critics are obsessing over what he is not: He's not an agricultural scientist, nor is he an agricultural economist, nor does he appear to be qualified for a position that, by law, must be drawn from “among distinguished scientists with specialized training or significant experience in agricultural research, education and economics.”
Maybe this whole Trump think is just a long nightmare that I will wake up from, and be so glad Hillary Clinton won the election.
