A Preview of Donald Trump's Cabinet Picks
Here are a list of real and fake members of the new Trump Cabinet. Can you tell which are real?
1. Rex Tillerson: Secretary of State. The former CEO of ExxonMobil, he is now charged with dealing with foreign relations. This is perfect, since he has plenty of experience dealing with foreign affairs, especially when he was asked not to. He opposed sanctions on Russia, and he has close business ties with Vladimir Putin.
2. Rick Perry: Secretary of Energy. In a cruel twist of fate, Rick Perry is now in charge of the department that he forgot he wanted to eliminate during the 2012 Republican primaries, ensuring that he will relive that moment for the rest of his life. He is quoted as saying, “There’s something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military, but our kids can’t openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school.” This was part of a campaign ad for the 2012 Election.
3. Ann Romney: Secretary of Labor. Ann Romney is the wife of 2012 Republican nominee Mitt Romney, who lost to Barack Obama in the election. She has been in politics along with her husband for most of her professional career. She was the former First Lady of Massachusetts, and she was an “obvious choice” for Secretary of Labor. “She’s had five children, so she’s been in labor a bunch of times,” President Trump said. “She’s also probably had experience as a secretary.”
4. Steven Mnuchin: Secretary of the Treasury. The former CIO of Goldman Sachs, Mr. Mnuchin (pronounced min-u-chin) is Trump’s nomination for Secretary of the Treasury despite having a clear conflict of interest and 500 million dollars that Mr. Mnuhin (pronounced mew-hin) could turn into much more if he played his cards right. Munchin (pronounced munch-ing) was criticized for his bank OneWest’s aggressive foreclosure policies that appeared to disproportionately target minorities. So there’s that.
5. The Grinch: Secretary of Transportation. This bitter resident of Whoville, Alabama used an ingenious Santa Claus costume to break into lawless Whoville residents’ houses and take all of their presents. He then had a change of heart, as he saw that his evildoing had no effect on the residents of Whoville. He also has superhuman strength and a sleigh, which will allow him to help transport people places.
