This might come as a surprise, but the overwhelming majority of the executive branch aren't elected neither in the US, nor in any European country. I'd like to see elections for hundreds of thousands of positions in the executive government in whatever country you're in.

Of course, I am fully aware of that. Ministerial posts are usually filled by politicians from the respective party who, incidentally, have been elected to one political office or another. Or by experts in their respective fields, which is more of an exception. Of course there are lots and lots of unqualified people in these positions elsewhere in the world.

But this clown show???

There isn't a single minister in the US administration who is even remotely qualified for their office - most of them aren't even politicians in the broadest sense, but merely friends of the orange child molester.

Are you trying to tell me that there's anything normal about that?
