Letter: Ridiculously unqualified Cabinet picks will fail us

With America facing serious problems worldwide, it seems Donald Trump is already doing Vladimir Putin’s bidding with these ridiculously unqualified Cabinet nominees designed to fail the country.

Now is not the time for unqualified sycophants and bootlickers in the Cabinet; the stakes are too high. This Trump administration of deluded conspiracy theorists, polluters, fascists, felons and sexual assaulters cannot address the nation’s problems. Trump is a grifter, and the country will suffer greatly for reelecting him.

And after four years of GOP pollution and tax cuts for the rich (all they ever offer), the country and world will be much worse off. Trump’s “concepts of a plan” are fascism, pollution and grifting.
