The part that doesn't care about things that don't impact him personally.
When asked about the cost of childcare, Trump's answer was that it won't matter. His tariffs are going to make our country so wealthy it won't matter what things cost. That giant influx of cash will be coming from inside the United States. He isn't failing to acknowledge the reality of who pays the tariffs. He DOES NOT BELIEVE IT.
When he talks about "our country", he only means "the wealthy people who pay attention to me". He does not care about anyone or anything else.
I really can't wait for my first tariff-funded stimulus check. Trump's strategy for wealth redistribution sounds just swell.

They are going to give Donald everything and EVERYONE he wants.
Which now includes this-
Trump picks RFK Jr. , anti-vaccine activist, for Health and Human Services secretary
During his presidential campaign, Kennedy developed a national profile for his criticism of the Covid vaccine and childhood immunizations.

Can you give me, like, a week's notice first? I need to pick up more leather and spikes to prepare for becoming a full-time wasteland marauder.
I've never heard of Rep. Thomas Massie, but I think he is a moron. Donald Trump is not the President of the United States. He is announcing who he wants for cabinet positions. He isn't nominating them because he can't. When he can, they'll be in session. If he wants a temporary recess nominee, he'll have to wait a while.

I think there are a few different approaches to cabinet picks. Trump is obviously, and true to character, leaned all the way to the wall on "loyal lieutenants". Some of his picks seem totally ineffectual and those are probably fine. All of the executive departments know how to do their jobs without a President or a Cabinet. Ones like RFK Jr you have to worry about because he will presumably direct them to do things they shouldn't. I'm not sure what happens there. Trump had meetings at the Pentagon in term 1 where people who know what they were doing just had to tell him "No" and he didn't like it, but it worked.
I don't think RFK or Gaetz are getting past the Senate. We'll see.
Presidents USUALLY choose experts in a field to run a Department. It isn't strictly necessary administratively. As I said, the departments know what they are doing. They don't need HELP from a cabinet member. Administratively the most effective skill is them being able to manage an organization. Trump did that last time when he picked all the CEOs. It was problematic for other reasons, but at least they had experience running something. Term 2 stooges do not.
The reason to get experts is because the cabinet also serve as advisors to the President, so they have meetings where issues are discussed and they are able to understand the issues and help out. There was no reason to expect Trump to do that. He knows he doesn't need advice from experts. The thoughts that pop into his head are almost always correct.
Because...
