"As professor Warren Blumenfeld wrote last February, Trump chose a man who spreads vaccine conspiracy theories to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, a woman who cozies up to vicious dictators like Vladimir Putin and Bashar al-Assad to become director of national intelligence, an election denier and someone with an enemies list who intends to conduct a massive Stalinesque purge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation to run the FBI,"
"(and) a woman who is a professional wrestling magnate to serve as secretary of education even though Trump wants to abolish the Federal Department of Education. He went on to say that the president had nominated so many other utterly unqualified candidates for other offices that they should more fittingly fall into the category of disqualified.

Donald Trump's cabinet selections after 2024 included controversial figures such as Matt Gaetz, Pete Hegseth, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Many nominees were narrowly confirmed along party lines, while some failed to reach hearings. Commentators labeled the collection a 'clown car cabinet' and criticized nominees' lack of expertise, ethical concerns, and extremist positions. Specific criticisms included vaccine conspiracy advocacy at HHS, cozying with authoritarian leaders for intelligence leadership, election denialism and plans for mass FBI purges, and a wrestling magnate for education. Critics described the cabinet as unqualified, scandal-plagued, and disastrously ineffective.
