Donald Trump chooses Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead Health and Human Services
The Issue: Donald Trump’s choice of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to head Health and Human Services.
President-elect Donald Trump is making headlines with his selection of seasoned veterans like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to head Health and Human Services and Matt Gaetz as attorney general. However, not everyone is on board with these choices (“2 turkeys’ fowl play mar Don return,” Michael Goodwin, Nov. 17).
Some critics believe that the days of wooden spears and animal bones are long gone, and these appointments reflect that sentiment.
While many of Trump’s picks are well-received, some are seen as controversial. However, Trump’s disruptive nature, which is what attracted many voters, is evident in his choices.
Comparisons to George Washington and references to Monte Python’s Flying Circus highlight the uniqueness of Trump’s selections.
