Trump Hiring TV Stars:

I never said either way, there are arguments to be made about their qualifications what I am getting at is that Trump is hiring people from TV, specifically conservative leading voices in TV. This is the very definition of media bias. As to Omarosa I like her but she's very controversial. (like most of these people) I'm sure there were plenty of other qualified people perhaps moreso than her to do that job that aren't controversial. Trump likes to troll the media w/these picks and does not necessarily care what the job is or how they do it.

So did Omarosa have the education and qualifications to do her job in the White House? Yes or no?

And, no, that's not media bias. Trump isn't the media. Trump is a politician and he's choosing people from "his side" to work for him. Ya know, like every single President known to man.

The only side he knows is what's on his TV. get a grip. I've already answered your Omarosa question btw.

You might want to read this Josie. What makes Hegseth qualified??
And now he's considering a Fox & Friends personality to replace the guy at the VA. The incompetency is beyond all measure.

Do you have a reason why he wouldn't be qualified to head up Veteran's Affairs? Did you even look a little into his background or are you just assuming he's just an idiot on a network you don't like?

Look, I agree with you that Trump is choosing a lot of people from the media. I've never once thought Trump was a smart man at all in terms of politics or his job. I just take issue with people being immediately assumed to be unqualified because of their presence on TV.

The question remains, is he being hired because of his TV presence or because of his qualifications?
Citing two sources familiar with Trump’s conversations with Hegseth, The Daily Beast reported last week that the president often calls him up to chat after he has appeared on air. Hegseth, they said, talks to the president about VA policies.

Who is Pete Hegseth? Fox & Friends Host May Become Next Secretary of Veterans Affairs

Just because he talks a lot doesn't mean he's qualified for the position. Just like how if Trump likes you, it doesn't mean you are qualified for the position. AKA Carson.

And you hit on the point I'm making. You're demeaning him as someone who "just talks a lot" simply because he's on Fox News. So the answer to the question I asked? Did you look into his background to see if he has any experience that would qualify him for this job?

Is that what it takes? Google is readily available for you to search his qualifications but that's a different thread. This thread is about the odd coincidence that Trump is hiring people from TV. Is he looking at all options???

Of course he isn't -- he's TRUMP. LOL! I'm merely saying that you aren't UNqualified simply because you work for Fox News or have been on a reality TV show. You agree, right?

I really don't think TV personalities are the best people to be put in government positions, regardless of what they did in the private sector, but that's just me. I mean if Generals can't fix it who can?
 
You implied that these people aren't qualified for their jobs in the White House simply because we see them on TV. Omarosa was qualified for her position, wasn't she?

I agree that just because they're tv people doesn't mean they aren't qualified, but... word has it that he's seeking "yes' people, so that calls into question their qualifications by itself. Is he choosing them for their qualifications, or is he choosing them because he only wants to be reaffirmed constantly?

Or option #3: he likes people who are good on tv and may value that above most other things.

I think any or all of those work into a variety of his appointments.

Remember obama started it when he put kumar, a hollywood actor on his staff. He also made a daugther of a famous family as an ambassador.

Obama was the true tv president.
