Trump has clearly gone a different direction that previous administrations and I'm quite optimistic about how this will turn out and I didn't even vote for the guy. As someone who spends his day leading a business of 250 people, I can tell you that the experience all of these business leaders will bring to the table is invaluable and leadership skills and experience are far more important that specific knowledge. Knowledge can be picked up along the way and good leaders leverage the folks who have it. Tillerson leads a business with how many employees ranging across how many countries? And people still like him, and when I say people, it sounds nearly unanimous among the business community. Having someone with that experience and those skills running a large department like State, I think he'll do well.
I'm pretty much exactly in the same frame of mind as you.
Didn't vote for Trump but so far (he isnt pres yet) I like what I see and I'm very optimistic.
Your "specific knowledge" point is especially well taken with me. When I got into my business I had very little knowledge of what the actual work entailed.
I've also been a manager at a company and the employees that I was in charge of had too train me on what they did. Then I fired two of them.
I think efficacy is the least concern many people on the left have with the Trump administration. I'm sure the administration will be reasonably effective at what it wants to achieve. The issue is what it wants to achieve. Killing people related to terrorists, treating some people as second-class citizens because they share traits with some terrorists, ignoring scientists because you want something else to be true,
penalizing people for choosing the wrong parents - These are some of the things that are far more worrisome than whether someone has good business leadership abilities.
And I have little faith that "specific knowledge" will be picked up along the way when the vast majority of the world's experts on climate say one thing and yet the administration is working from a different "specific knowledge."
I have no clue what you mean by the bolded, could you explain what your point is and how Trump is going to punish them?
