Donald Trump’s increasingly provocative Cabinet picks have left some Republican senators aghast and Washington in shock.

But they really shouldn’t. Because the outrage is the point.

The president-elect reached a new level on Wednesday, announcing Florida Republican Matt Gaetz — one of his most zealous agents of disruption, who, like him, was once investigated by the Justice Department — as his pick for attorney general.

Tulsi Gabbard, the one-time Democratic presidential candidate, who now shares Trump’s belief that the intelligence community has been weaponized against him, will be America’s new top spy, if confirmed as director of national intelligence.

Only those who share an undying loyalty to President Trump are being selected as members of his Cabinet. The picks are far outside the norm and are causing a huge stir in Washington as many people are worried for their own jobs and future under the new Administration. Trump will only employe those completely dedicated to the MAGA cause throughout his Presidency.
