Biden's Take: Trump's Cabinet Choices - A Look Back

Remember the days of #MAGA and "draining the swamp"? It's hard to believe it's been over six years since Donald Trump took the oath of office. And one of the first things he did was start building his team – his cabinet, those folks who would help him make America great again. Now, as we look back, what can we learn from Trump's cabinet choices? Well, let's dive in and see what Biden had to say about it.

A Cabinet of Controversy

From the very beginning, Trump's cabinet selections sparked controversy. Many of his picks were wealthy business leaders with no prior government experience, leaving some questioning their suitability for these important roles. And then there were the ethics concerns, with several members facing accusations of conflicts of interest.

The "swamp" didn't seem so drained after all.

For example, Betsy DeVos, Trump's pick for Education Secretary, was a wealthy philanthropist with no experience in public education. Critics pointed to her support for school vouchers and charter schools, which they saw as a threat to public education.

Remember the whole "school choice" debate? It was a hot topic back then, and DeVos definitely fueled the fire.

Biden's Response

So, what did then-Vice President Joe Biden have to say about Trump's cabinet? Well, he wasn't shy about expressing his concerns. Biden was critical of many of the choices, arguing that they lacked the experience and qualifications needed for the job. He voiced his worries about the lack of diversity in Trump's cabinet and expressed his disappointment with the lack of focus on issues like climate change.

But what about the focus on "making America great again?" Biden argued that Trump's choices were more about serving his own interests than the interests of the American people.

What We Can Learn

Looking back, Trump's cabinet choices were certainly a bold departure from tradition. While some argue that his choices were necessary to shake things up, others see them as a sign of a disregard for experience and expertise.

It's a debate that continues today.

Whether you agree with Trump's approach or not, it's clear that his cabinet choices had a significant impact on his presidency and continue to be discussed today.

So, what's your take? Let's keep the conversation going in the comments below.
