Trump taps Nikki Haley to be UN ambassador

It appears, President Trump is trying to show that his government does not consist only of  white men. He made a couple of appointments recently which show diversity, however, questions remain and those choices are disappointing for a number of reasons.

It was reported yesterday that President Trump offered Dr. Ben Carson a position of secretary of HUD. I like Dr. Carson, however, a proper position for him, as a doctor, would have been a position of Surgeon General or Secretary of  Department of Health and Human Services. Dr. Carson has no knowledge or experience related to HUD. For that reason, appointment of Dr. Carson for Secretary of HUD is a disappointment.

Additionally, today President Trump appointed Governor of South Carolina, Nikki Hailey, to be our UN ambassador. It is clear that Trump is trying to show that he will have diversity in his administration. Hailey is a woman and a minority. Her parents are from India. However, Hailey has zero knowledge and experience in relation to United Nations and foreign policy. Additionally, she was a never-Trumper and never showed any loyalty and did not show any support for Trump. For those reasons, this appointment is a disappointment. It appears, Trump wants to keep his critics happy and silent, however, with those choices he turns his supporters into his critics. For example, TV and radio talk show host, Sean Hannity, led millions of people in support of Trump. Today, Hannity and all of his supporters feel betrayed and are extremely disappointed that Trump would even consider people like Nikki Hailey and Mitt Romney, never mind appoint them to top positions.

I sincerely hope that disappointments will end there. It was reported that Romney is a leading candidate for Secretary of State. Romney attacked Trump with horrible insults, attacked him till the election day and there is no evidence he ever voted for Trump. Romney has zero respect and loyalty to Trump. Additionally, Romney has zero experience and knowledge in foreign affairs. For that reason Romney would be a terrible choice for Sec of State. I hope we are not in for this disappointment as well. Furthermore, appointment of Romney might disenfranchise Trump supporters who might sit in during 2020 election, which might cause him to lose important swing states, which were won by a very small margin in 2016.
