  • America has lost faith in experts, and it’s certainly showing in some of Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks. Beyond a lack of qualifications, there are concerns over character problems with several nominees too. But do either really matter in American politics anymore? Deputy Opinions Editor David Von Drehle talks with columnists Ruth Marcus and Dana Milbank about what, if anything, can sink a nominee in today’s political culture.

    For 46 administrations we tried having a cabinet run the government. Now we try out a clown college!

    Worse than not trusting experts, is still not trusting experts after what happened in trump's first term.

    American's (and everyone I reckon) DO trust experts. But when those experts don't act in the best interest, people begin to lose their faith. Experts should know better, but when they don't act on that knowledge, why should we call on them? Its kind of like when a newspaper refuses to endorse a candidate. OOPS!

    At 22:18. Why would the question be posed as to whether our allies would trust Gabbard with their intelligence? Didn't our allies already get their "first kick of the mule" with the egregious Mar-a-Lago documents breach?

    What experts the American People don't like? All of them or just some of them? Are journalists a kind of specialists? Do they respect journalists? Why?
    I'm from Brazil - hence the above questions. My parents are from a state in Brazil called Minas Gerais and being suspicious is a strong cultural characteristic of that land. I trust specialists - the ones I know or the ones people I know - whom I trust - tell me to be trustworthy. I also trust people who's been in the public light for some decades and have shown to be trustworthy.

    If you had told a Republican in the Reagan era that a future Republican President would choose a Director of National Intelligence someone who had a show on Russia Today, how would they react?
