You mean at the start of Trump's term where he actually got a few things done, like the tax bill - and then he insulted the people who got that bill through Congress and they all quit. So now all he has left is a legacy of Executive Orders which Biden will cancel on his first 30 days in office.
yes and no yes in that he fired a bunch and others quit no in that he should have been fired for taking care of the necessary house cleaning.
Actually that was put together by congress as are all tax bills in the end. And quite a lot of stuff was done not only well but as good as it gets given the glacial pace with which DC generally moves.
More 2+2 =750. No one was hire because the were Caucasian. That has nothing to do with the fact blacks and women didn't get a fair shake in this country or any other. None-the-less one cannot address the problems of the past by continuing them into the future with colors/sexes reversed.
Oh well. Trump LOST. Elections have consequences. The USA actually has some diversity in the Cabinet. Anybody who doesn't like it is free to vote against Biden in 2024. ^Problem solved.

No, they weren't hired because they were Caucasian but no other color was considered... And women weren't hired because they were women.... you can deny history but it will always be there.
Which of the two cabinets 'appear' more racist: 1. One that looks like America 2. One that is all white. What it seems like, garyd, what with the likes of you and those similar to you, democrats cannot win noting that Biden will not appoint any candidate if they are not qualified, noting that Trump appointed a number of cabinet posts with persons whose only qualification was they were in the media kissing his ass, a consideration which, apparently, is entirely acceptable to you.
Trump's looked more like America plenty of Women a few African Americans a lot of Caucasians pretty much like America. Biden's looks more like the social studies department at Vassar. Or parents day at the prep school.
Strange that you are saying that you want someone that represents you ideologically (likely because you are a white christian so that is automatically a social conservative) but you cannot understand someone wanting someone that will also probably advance their own interests. So you do understand. Perhaps, but they are each far superior to trumps picks which were basically who gave him the most money and was “loyal”.
Dude a black conservative Christian of which there are growing numbers could represent my views every bit as well and perhaps better than a white one simply because he would be largely immune to some if the left's favorite criticisms. After all calling a Black guy or gal a racist just makes one look stupid. Further if ones ideology is so truncated that it can only be represent by a person of a specific pigmentation, get a new ideology because that regardless of pigmentation is racist.
The ONLY thing compelling Biden is his own personal and I assume advised choices. Personally I have never ever before seen or heard of some of his choices.
But of course everything is more complex than race because racism is as simplistic as it gets, and damn near as stupid.
It is. All you have to do is look though this thread to see leftists and democrats playing their "racist", "sexist", "homophobia" cards like a perverted game of 52-pickup to see why it can't happen today. Those cards are far too powerful for them to let go. The solution, of course, is to quit referring to job candidates as black and white, women and men, gay and straight, and judge their merits individually for character and qualification. There is no way on earth that our country is better off with a "diverse" cabinet, if it comes at the expense of "the best qualified" cabinet. Diversity merely for the sake of diversity has no value in competent governance. If the best people for the job end up being a diverse group, so be it. If they end up being all old white men, SO BE IT. You cannot espouse equality while disqualifying people at the same time.
