Trump’s latest Cabinet choices raise eyebrows, revealing a troubling trend that suggests the #MeToo movement’s impact is fading.
Washington D.C.: So, it looks like Donald Trump is really leaning into the past with his Cabinet picks. It’s like he’s trying to bring back the “Mad Men” era, where anything went.
While I was juggling birthday celebrations for my daughter, I couldn’t help but think about the alarming choices Trump is making. It’s wild to see him surround himself with people who have serious allegations against them, especially when he himself has a history of such claims.
When my daughters were younger, I always warned them about men in power who might think they can get away with anything. I shared my own experiences, hoping to prepare them for the world. But honestly, I wish someone had warned me back then.
With the rise of the #MeToo movement, it felt like we were finally making progress. But during Trump’s presidency, it seems like that momentum has fizzled out. The confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh, despite serious accusations against him, was a turning point that many of us felt.
Now, as Trump gears up for another term, he’s picking Cabinet members who are not just controversial but have been accused of predatory behavior. It’s like he’s saying, “Who cares?” about the past allegations.
Take Matt Gaetz, for example. He’s out of the running, but not just because of his reputation. It’s also due to serious investigations into his actions. And then there’s Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has his own baggage, yet he’s still in the mix.
Even Pete Hegseth, who’s trying to save his nomination, has a history that raises eyebrows. It’s a tough spot for Senate Republicans, especially with someone like Iowa’s Joni Ernst, who’s clearly uneasy about Hegseth’s past.
With women making up a significant part of the military, putting someone like Hegseth in charge would send a terrible message. It’s like Trump and his crew just don’t care about the implications of their choices.
In the end, it feels like we’re backtracking instead of moving forward. It’s frustrating to see how far we’ve come and how quickly it can all unravel.
