Summary
Donald Trump’s recent cabinet picks, including controversial figures like Matt Gaetz, Pete Hegseth, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., signal a deliberate effort to upend norms, bypass accountability, and impose a new reality on American governance.

This strategy echoes authoritarian tactics, where truth and law are manipulated to serve power.
Critics warn of a growing “kakistocracy,” threatening U.S. governance and fostering public disorientation and disengagement.
