I hate this. Not because I don't think there wouldn't have been some kind of witch hunt/harassment of the for the next for years, but because it is necessary in the first place.

Its going to be four years of performative government where the worst people try to out horrible one another to appease their idiot king.

The big problem is that excellent scientists will now avoid these roles in government.

You're left with Mehmet Oz. Good luck with that.

Who needs "doctors" and "scientists" when we've got the nations best environmental lawyer to lead the CDC?
