BREAKING NEWS: Predictions For Trump Cabinet

A slightly sarcastic take on Trump's administration

BREAKING NEWS: Predictions For Trump Cabinet
Dallas Morning News

Whether you voted for Mr. Trump or not, you can’t deny that he’s got “the best people.”

Think about it – surely liberals and conservatives alike can agree that most of the Cabinet picks we’ve all been hearing about for the past month literally could not be better suited for the job! Rex Tillerson’s blatant ties to Russia, along with his history of orchestrating joint ventures in Russia-controlled oil-drilling locations, certainly provide all the experience and trustworthiness that you’d expect from a Secretary of State. (Public-sector experience is overrated anyway – am I right?)

And who better than Stephen Bannon, co-founder of Breitbart News (“a website that has pushed racist, sexist, xenophobic and anti-Semitic material into the vein of the alt-right”) to serve as Mr. Trump’s chief strategist? After all, it was Trump himself who pushed racist, sexist, xenophobic, and anti-Semitic material into the vein of mainstream American politics. It works out pretty darn well.

But enough about these respectable staffing decisions: here are just a couple of our predictions and suggestions regarding the lucky guys and gals – but mostly guys – that will serve on the Cabinet.

Position: U.S. Trade Representative

Our Pick: Jabba The Hutt

Jabba is an accomplished trader, negotiator, and crime boss – and his penchant for holding girls against their will means he’ll have plenty to relate to with Mr. Trump… right?

Position: Environmental Protection Agency Head

Our Pick: The Once-Ler (before he got smart)

All Americans, regardless of political ideology, can get behind the Once-Ler protecting our environment. He doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who would exploit beautiful forests for his own financial gains, right? It’d work out, we’re pretty sure.

Position: Attorney General

Trump’s Pick: Jeff Sessions (described in the New York Times as one of the “most strident anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim, anti-L.G.B.T. voices in the Senate”)

Our Better Pick: Kimmy Schmidt’s Attorneys


This efficient and professional dynamic duo’s knowledge of courtroom procedure and the case they’re prosecuting would come in handy if Marcia and Chris become Attorney General.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
