Donald Trump’s new cabinet is starting to take shape, and it’s already looking every bit as eyebrow-raising as expected.
In the Daily Show clip above, Jordan Klepper takes us on a whistle-stop tour of the new picks.
“Kristi Noem for Homeland Security? Are you f***ing kidding me? She’s supposed to get the border under control, she couldn’t even train her dog,” says Klepper. “But I will say that Noem does have experience striking fear in the hearts of terrorists. Wait, I read that wrong: Terriers.”
Next up is Environmental Protection Agency lead Lee Zeldin, who Klepper plays a clip of on Fox News, listing off a bunch of priorities that don’t seem to include the environment.
“So the head of the EPA’s top priority is protecting the auto industry, boosting artificial intelligence, and boosting business in general — where is the environment in all this?” asks Klepper. “Does the E in EPA just stand for ‘Eh, f*** it?”
It’ll be interesting to see what the Daily Show has to say about Trump’s newest pick, Elon Musk for a new U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
