Donald Trump is currently picking cabinet members, and its is scary. In Jeff Sessions, a Republican senator from Alabama, we have an accused racist. He is now Trump’s pick for Attorney General, a position which demands impartial judgement, as the head of the Department of Justice. Next, we move on to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, with Ben Carson as Trump’s pick as SECHUD. This in of itself brings up thoughts of racism. I mean, a black man with no experience in housing and/or urban development is chosen to head that department? Really? We then head to the Labor Department, where Trump’s pick for Secretary of Labor is Andrew F. Puzder, a millionaire and vocal opponent of a higher minimum wage and new overtime rules. Isn’t it the job of the Labor Secretary to uphold the rights of workers? For the Department of the Interior, we have a potential pick of Mary Fallin, who would expand fracking and drilling, in a department which is tasked with the protection and conservation of federal lands. I do not like these picks at all, and they leave me scared for the future of America.
