Americans may have elected Donald Trump to a second term in November, but that doesn’t mean they have high confidence in his ability to choose well-qualified people for his Cabinet or effectively manage government spending, the military and the White House.
Summary
An AP-NORC poll reveals low public confidence in President Trump’s ability to appoint qualified Cabinet members, manage spending, and oversee the military in his second term.
About 3 in 10 Americans express high confidence in these areas, while half are "not at all confident."
Republicans show more confidence (6 in 10), but it's less unanimous than Democrats' skepticism (three-quarters express doubt).
Independents remain divided, with most expressing low or moderate confidence in Trump’s leadership abilities across key responsibilities.
"They're all the same!" my FIL equating Harris to the convicted felon and conman who flew with Epstein.
"I didn't vote" said my socialist relative who ignored the myriad policies Harris was objectively better than Trump on because of a right-wing wedge-driving message about Palestinians (haven't heard a peep on Gaza since election, curiously).
Poorly educated minds led astray by disinformation.
Only Trump can make competent picks. Due to his mastery of hiring, as seen in the Apprentice, he has the best judgement possible.
In fact, I would say that Trump is uniquely qualified to pick candidates that will serve his interests. And since his interests are making America Great Again we can trust he will put only the greatest picks forward.
It makes me laugh that the idea of hiring 18 people that continually fuck up so bad you have to fire a different one every week until you're left with the least fuck up is in any way a good businesses decision.
