As long as he keeps religion out of politics, and doesn't cause the US to start a war with any nation just because he thinks it'll go well in the long run, then the only issue is the lack of enthusiasm to support nations considered friendly. That could end up with the US, once more, abandoning a nation while it's adversary is still active, leaving them unable to retain that which they presently hold, or retake that which has been stolen from them.
This running commentary on Mr Trump's appointments amuses me somewhat.
How many people in the USA would have a view on how suitable John Healey is to be our defence secretary?
Come to that, how many people in the UK would hold a view? I'd go further and ask how many people in the UK would even be able to name him if asked (I couldn't - I had to look him up).
So why the interest (and apparent expertise) in the quality and suitability of Mr Trump's appointments?
Shock horror ... Federal States founded, and first established on Christian values and still (for now) predominately a Christian society, appoints Christian to senior position on the defence of said values. Former service in the military is considered by some to be a drawback and lack of experience is cited as a negative. Others are of the opinion that the previous "experienced" holders of the position have not been a good fit. Perhaps Oprah, or a muslim would have been prefered ... or maybe even a gangsta rapper. Diddums.
"How many people in the USA would have a view on how suitable John Healey is to be our defence secretary?"
Not really the same thing though, is it. Who is appointed in the UK is going to have minimal affect on the globe or the US. Unfortunately we have given back much of our 'sun never sets' empire so have smaller clout than we once had. But who is in power in the US has major affects on everywhere else.
"...because the government of the USA is the most powerful in the world. hope that helps."
No it doesn't really.
My point is not which government Mr Hegseth has been appointed to, but why anybody in the UK (outside perhaps people whose job it is to study these things) should be in a position to comment on his suitability with any authority.
But never mind. I'm quite sure there would not have been such widespread criticism of Ms Harris's choices had she won the election. But then of course she might have chosen people with the "correct" views.
