‘Government by the worst’: why people are calling Trump’s new sidekicks a ‘kakistocracy’

Matt Gaetz chosen to run the justice department. Fox hosts in charge of the Pentagon and transportation. Elon Musk as head of layoffs. And Robert F Kennedy Jr and Dr Oz overseeing the nation’s health.

Some have likened Donald Trump’s administrative picks to a clown car; others are calling our incoming leadership a kakistocracy, or “government by the worst people”, as Merriam-Webster puts it.


The word has been trending online, with a burst in search traffic in recent weeks and a new dedicated subreddit. It’s not the first time Trump has (accidentally) made the term famous; many discovered it in his first term. But even after Gaetz’s departure, the kakistocracy of 2016 looks like Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood compared with the president-elect’s new batch of sidekicks.

Didn't we just have four years of this sort of shit?

We could start with the biggest POS of them all

Now, I'm sure there will be some debate on whether he was really the most lying, incompetent law-breaking POS in Bribem's administration, but he sure is up there.

If you can explain how, in your own words and in a coherent manner, I'll give you 5 likes. :)

If you can't, I understand since JPP is full of elderly Euro-American geezers suffering dementia, paranoia and anger.

You lied about Babbitt. What lies are you telling now, Terry?

Are you in a facility? Did your family abandon you?

You should. If you watch that whole video, and I know it's really long, Mayorkas is proved--PROVED--to be a serial liar, incompetent, and useless. The Democrats on the committee don't even try to defend him, they just go off on tangents (probably the worst is Hank "Guam could capsize" Johnson who rambles on about slavery and white supremacy starting at about 1 hour 6 minutes) with their time. They got nothing.
The Republicans just hammer Mayorkas like a 16d nail.

What Biden and his administration have done with illegal immigration and the border is fucking CRIMINAL.

1. Lies about Ashli Babbitt being shot in the back by a black cop.
2. Give Trump a pass on the Insurrection, the theft of classified material including nuclear secrets.
3. Defends both surrendering Ukraine to Russia for "peace" and also continuing the war in Gaza.
4. Spreads hate and lies about anyone left of his own politics.
5. Claims Biden is a criminal.

Is that cray-cray or not?

You mischaracterize my statement, you know it, and that makes you not only a liar but a damned liar.

There was no insurrection, just a 3 hour riot. You don't know what was in that classified material any more than I do. It's fucking classified.

These are more damned lies. I don't care who wins in the Ukraine - Russia war, same with Israel - Gaza. I want a winner in both and for the participants not to have to fight another war.

That would be you, but you take a more shotgun approach and simply attack anyone that disagrees with you for any reason.

People can decide for themselves if you claimed Ashli Babbitt was shot in the back or not:

Oh, so it's okay to just shoot "nutjobs" in the back with no warning, is it? As for the rest, you channeling William Calley there Dutch? Some officer you'd make...

Again, Terry, I forgive your lapses since you and I both know you've been deteriorating for a couple years now. Your anger and hatred of leftists has become increasingly violent and erratic.

A word you obviously don't know:

  1. exaggerated statements or claims not meant to be taken literally
You clearly have no ability to use figurative language or any sort of higher sophistication in writing.
