Desi Lydic Says Trump is Picking Mascots,' Not Leaders
Briefly

Desi Lydic emphasized the trend of Donald Trump's cabinet selections being heavily influenced by television personalities, noting that "so far, he's made a number of cabinet picks whose main qualification seems to be being on TV." She humorously highlighted the absurdity of the situation with, "It's like his whole cabinet was selected by a kid who was home sick with the flu."
Seth Meyers commented on the qualifications of Dr. Oz for leading the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, quipping, "If you have to pick someone from TV, at least pick the LiMu Emu." This pointed out the ridiculousness of the choice by suggesting that even fictional characters would be a more suitable selection.
Desi Lydic critiqued the lack of experienced leaders in the cabinet, asserting, "Because Donald Trump isn't really picking leaders of agencies - he's just picking mascots." This statement sheds light on the trend of celebrity over competence in political appointments.
When discussing President Biden's 82nd birthday, Seth Meyers jokingly remarked that a cake was only celebrated by a joke, saying the cake was sacrificed "for the good of democracy," which adds humor reflecting on the absurdities of political celebrations.
