If only the public could get inside the head of President-elect Donald Trump to see what he’s really thinking.

Perhaps then we could learn more about Trump’s strategy behind a controversial and reportedly unqualified group of Republicans he intends to nominate to top Cabinet posts at the:

  1. Department of Defense (DOD)
  2. Department of Justice (DOJ)
  3. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
  4. Director of National Intelligence (DNI).

Those who are brave enough to openly oppose Trump on anything can end up risking everything, from a political standpoint. No Republican politician wants to be on the receiving end of the president-elect’s wrath.

Retaliation by Trump often equates with public shaming and humiliation, for starters.

It’s far easier to show Trump fealty instead.

Some think Trump’s nominations for critical Cabinet jobs may result in carrying out questionable orders, even if that means violating the U.S. Constitution.
