The liberals have once again found something to moan about, this time bemoaning the fact that Donald Trump’s new Cabinet looks “awfully familiar.” As if anyone should be surprised. In a world where qualifications and ability seem to take a backseat to identity politics, Trump’s selection based on merit instead of race and gender is like a breath of fresh conservative air amidst the suffocating fog of progressive whining.
The past four years served as a stark reminder of how the Biden administration relied heavily on identity over experience. Their cabinet boasted “firsts” at every turn, including the latest formatting of the vice presidency through the lens of identity. The glaring flaw in this liberal strategy? It produced some of the least effective leadership seen in modern history. In contrast, Trump’s approach emphasizes getting the right people in the right jobs—an incredibly straightforward concept that’s apparently lost on the left.

As Trump unveils his selections, leftists frantically sift through the lineup, looking for “diversity” in representation. This reminds all too well of a child looking through the candy aisle, desperately hoping to find something more colorful. The reality is that three individuals of color out of a cabinet that reflects merit-based selection is a result that should alarm no one who values competence over placating the politically correct. His appointees include people like Scott Turner and Lori Chavez-DeRemer, proving that inclusivity can happen alongside hiring effective leaders.
The real kicker in this debate? The left can’t seem to grasp that experience and proven success take precedence over identity. His choices may not fit the progressive narrative, but that doesn’t matter to a president focused on results. If anyone is concerned about who gets picked for these pivotal roles, they should honestly ask themselves: can this individual do the job? Anything beyond that misses the mark entirely.
In a nation that often sings the praises of unity and equality, liberals have instead perfected the art of division. Ironically, their fixation on race and identity is precisely what strengthens these divides. When political commentators like Bill Maher dare to suggest that Trump’s election reflects a country more united than divided, the left responds with outrage. The incessant categorization of Americans based on superficial traits only entrenches divisions rather than promoting the brotherhood and sisterhood so desired.
Trump stands apart from this divisive trend. His focus remains firmly on who can perform a job effectively, leaving behind any concerns about checking boxes for identity politics. As long as capable leaders are chosen to guide America into the future, the race-based complaints of the left will continue to ring hollow. After all, what truly matters is competence, and fortunately, that’s exactly what Trump appears committed to prioritizing in his new administration.
