Today's Trumpys are the second set of nominees for Worst Cabinet Member, following yesterday's consideration of Mick Mulvaney, Ryan Zinke, Gary Cohn and Jeff Sessions.
The judges wish to acknowledge the many atrocious candidates not receiving nominations, including Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Ben Carson, Secretary of Energy Rick Perry and Secretary of Treasury Steve Mnuchin.
Today's nominees, however, certainly do represent the worst of the Trump administration.
You can vote for the worst of this motley crew here.
Rex Tillerson
Secretary of State: "Making a Great Case for Himself as the Worst Secretary of State in Modern History."
Lots of people are making the exact point in that quote, not just Slate, from which the headline is borrowed.
On the positive side of the ledger for Tillerson, he reportedly has called Trump a "moron."
Betsy DeVos
Secretary of Education: "There's Probably a Gun in the School to Protect from Potential Grizzlies"
 Blocked implementation of rules designed to protect students from predatory for-profit colleges.
Tom Price/Empty/Alex Azar
Secretary of Health and Human Services: "Tom Price Sure Knows A Lot About Waste, Fraud and Abuse"
Secretary Tom Price was famously forced out of office after racking up more than $1 million in flight expenses in a matter of months. The Senate just confirmed Alex Azar, a former Eli Lilly executive, to take the post.
Scott Pruitt
Administrator, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): "What they're doing is conscientiously tearing the place down" ... "Mindless. There's no other word for it."
Those quotes are from former EPA administrators, Carol Browner (under Bill Clinton) and Christine Todd Whitman (under George W. Bush)

Yesterday's entry for Worst Cabinet Official.
Donald Trump’s attacks on democracy, justice, and a free press are escalating — putting everything we stand for at risk. We believe a better world is possible, but we can’t get there without your support. Common Dreams stands apart. We answer only to you — our readers, activists, and changemakers — not to billionaires or corporations. Our independence allows us to cover the vital stories that others won’t, spotlighting movements for peace, equality, and human rights. Right now, our work faces unprecedented challenges. Misinformation is spreading, journalists are under attack, and financial pressures are mounting. As a reader-supported, nonprofit newsroom, your support is crucial to keep this journalism alive. Whatever you can give — $10, $25, or $100 — helps us stay strong and responsive when the world needs us most. Together, we’ll continue to build the independent, courageous journalism our movement relies on. Thank you for being part of this community. |
