Something weird is going on with the president-elect. He is putting forth some marginally sane nominees for government positions and some who have no chance at being confirmed. So far, he is sidelining his most radical supporters. Most of his nominees don’t have enough experience to be effective in their potential positions.
Maybe the president-elect learned from his first term that, when one inherits a booming economy, he sits on his hands, prepares for a twice-in-a-lifetime pandemic and reaps the credit for a decent term of office. Maybe.
