Everything he is doing is setting himself up for failure.

Appointing Ben Carson to run HUD is a great example. Trump says he wants Carson to run HUD because Carson is a "good leader". On the face of it that sounds like a good idea, but do you honestly mean to tell me that out of the three hundred and twenty million people in the United States Trump couldn't find someone who had some knowledge of housing and urban development AND was a good leader? Did he even try?

The woman he wants to put in charge of education is another fail. This woman grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth and has never attended public school, nor has her children. She wants to create some kind of school voucher system, so parents can place their children in a private school. What she doesn't understand is that the US government is on average $11k. No private school will touch that, and the aveage American family cannot afford to kick in "extra" money to combine with a "voucher" to put their kids through school.

Trump seems to think he is in charge here, and frankly, he isn't. He cannot just pick up the phone and call another country and reverse forty years of US policy by mistake. This was on of the first things he did, and he completely fucked it up. He doesn't seem to understand our intelligence agencies work for him, but instead he seems to be taking advice from someone outside of the US intelligence agency. You must be kidding me, right? The most advanced intelligence agency in the world and instead Trump is going to trust someone he barely knows?

This is not going to end well.
