Surely to be a clown show. We know that RFK certainly thinks he’s getting nominated for HHS, which includes FDA.

Those interested in working for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the nominee for Health and Human Services secretary, can fill out an online application that asks a series of bizarre personality questions.
The online questionnaire, which can be obtained here, asks applicants to complete a puzzle and synonym test before undergoing a personality survey – presumably to join Kennedy’s team and potentially the Department of HHS.
It is unclear where the test originated but it was first flagged by Puck News, which claimed it confirmed with the Trump team that Kennedy’s team is using to vet potential employees.
One section, reviwed by The Independent, asks applicants to pick three or more attitudes that suit them such as, “I require excessive admiration” or “I don’t have that much interest in having a sexual experience with another person.”
One option offers, “I believe in things many others don’t – like having a ‘sixth sense,’ clairvoyance, and telepathy – and as an adolescent, I had bizarre fantasies or preoccupations.”……
Those appear to be the criteria for a schizotypal personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder laid out in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition.
Seemingly, the test asks those questions in order to vet people who may have mental health issues.
In the personality trait selection section, applicants are asked to choose five traits that apply most to themselves.
Those options include, “Believe that too much tax money goes to support artists” (a belief supported by The Heritage Foundation), “Do not like poetry”, and “Try to avoid complex people” among others.
The application also includes a section in which people must complete puzzles based on patterns and also match a word to its synonym.……

Donald Trump has announced a further slew of nominees to his new administration, the most well-known of which is his personal lawyer Alina Habba, who will be his White House counselor.
Posting on Truth Social late on Sunday, the president-elect described Habba, a MAGA favorite who represented him at several of his high-profile recent court cases, as a “tireless advocate for Justice, a fierce Defender of the Rule of Law, an invaluable Advisor to my Campaign and Transition Team”...........

Donald Trump has said Robert F Kennedy Jr, his nominee for health secretary, may investigate a supposed link between vaccines and autism – despite a consensus among the medical establishment debunking any such connection.
In a wide-ranging interview with NBC, the US president-elect claimed an investigation was justified by the increasing prevalence of autism diagnoses among American children over the past 25 years.
“When you look at what’s going on with disease and sickness in our country, something’s wrong,” Trump said after the interviewer, Kristen Welker, asked him if he wanted to see some vaccines eliminated – a position for which Kennedy has argued.
“If you take a look at autism, go back 25 years, autism was almost nonexistent. It was, you know, one out of 100,000 and now it’s close to one out of 100.”
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one out of every 36 children in the US were diagnosed with autism in 2020, compared with one in 150 in 2000.
Kennedy, a noted vaccine sceptic, has repeatedly peddled discredited theories that the conditions is caused by childhood vaccinations.
“I do believe that autism does come from vaccines,” he said in a 2023 Fox News interview in which he called for more vaccine testing.……

Those interviewing for positions within theincoming Trump administration will need to do more than prove their qualifications for the job, with new reports claiming the must answer a series of strategic questions to prove their allegiance to Donald Trump
At least nine people who were interviewed for jobs or were involved in the process told the New York Times that questions about January 6, the validity of the 2020 election and their voting decisions were brought up.
Those questions are seemingly designed to weed out prospective administration memberswho do not display an obvious allegiance to Trump.
Those who gave answers that dencounced the violence on January 6, or suggested Joe Biden won the 2020 election, told the newspaper that they did not get jobs.
Conservative influencer Charlie Kirk is among the MAGA loyalists tasked with interviewing potential hires for positions in the Pentagon or other intelligence agencies, according to the Times.……

By tapping two combative ultra-loyalists to run the FBI and the justice department, Donald Trump has sparked fears they will pursue the president-elect’s calls for “revenge” against his political foes and sack officials who Trump demonizes as “deep state” opponents, say ex-DoJ prosecutors.
Kash Patel and Pam Bondi, who Trump has nominated to run the FBI and DoJ, respectively, have been unswerving loyalists to Trump for years, promoting Trump’s false claims that his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden was due to fraud.
Patel was a top lawyer on the House intelligence panel under rightwing member Devin Nunes for part of Trump’s first term and then held a few posts in the Trump administration including at the national security council advising the president.
Bondi, a recent corporate lobbyist and an ex-Florida attorney general, defended Trump during his first impeachment and was active on the campaign trail during the late stages of his 2024 run.
Patel and Bondi have each mimicked Trump’s calls for taking revenge against key Democrats and officials, including ones who pursued criminal charges against Trump for his aggressive efforts to overturn his 2020 defeat and his role in inflaming the January 6 attack on the Capitol that led to five deaths.
Trump has lavished praise on both picks, calling Patel a “brilliant lawyer” and “advocate for truth”, while hailing Bondi as “loyal” and “qualified”. But critics say their rhetoric and threats are “incredibly harmful to public trust” in the two agencies undermining the integrity of the FBI and DoJ, and potentially spurring violence.
Patel promised last year on Steve Bannon’s show to “go out and find the conspirators, not just in government but in the media … who lied about American citizens, who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections”.……..

Matt Gaetz, the former Florida congressman who was briefly in contention to be Donald Trump’s next attorney general, is now reportedly set to join the conservative channel One America News Network (OAN) as an anchor.
CNN national correspondent Kristen Holmes first reported the development on Monday citing an unnamed source, which appeared to explain a cryptic post by Gaetz’s wife Ginger on X on Sunday that read simply: “Big news coming next week!”
CNN’s chief media analyst Brian Stelter subsequently reported that he had asked OAN’s president Charles Herring to confirm Gaetz’s appointment, only for Herring to decline to comment...........
