Serious Jokes

There has to be discernment when it comes to “shaking things up” and needed change. There has to be discernment when it comes to nominating people for leadership roles in a President’s cabinet and other high-profile assignments.

The current batch of Trump nominees makes it appear that this responsibility is not being taken seriously, that there is no discernment or sober judgment involved here, just flippancy.

It’s simply, as many keep saying, loyalty. All that matters is loyalty.

When loyalty is Trait #1, we get Elon Musk and Kristi Noem and Matt Gaetz and RFK, Jr. and a former Fox News Weekend host—fish out of water, every single one. In over their heads, and any other relevant metaphors and similes one can think of.

But they’re all willing to toe the line when it comes to praising Donald Trump, along with sharing his penchant for vengeance and aimless wandering.

It’s still very difficult to take Donald Trump seriously, yet we must.
