Every time a new president comes into the office they bring a new cabinet with them. The Cabinet is a group of people that are picked by the president and consists of the vice president and the heads of 15 departments, Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Labor, State, Transportation, Treasury, Veterans Affairs, and Attorney General. All of the heads of the departments are called the “Secretaries” of the department, like Secretary of Education.

Donald Trump’s cabinet is made up of a bunch of problems like inexperience, lack of diversity, and ignorance. So far this combination is one of the worst cabinets in American history.

One example is Rick Perry, the Secretary of Energy. The Obama’s previous Secretary of Energy was Ernest Moniz, a nuclear physicist with much respect and experience in the field. While Perry wanted to eliminate that department. Later it is found that he didn’t even know what the department did. 6 weeks ago Trump offered Perry the job and he graciously took on the role, thinking that he would be the head of American oil and gas industry. Now that he has taken on the role he regrets ever wanting to eliminate the department and is becoming more aware on how important he is.
