About this ebook

Well, 2016 saw quite an election. Three parties lost, one party won.

And that was just the beginning. Right away, the newly elected DONALD TRUMP began to set up his fort, assigning his friends and associates with high government positions both within and without the White House.

To the horror of those who live in the political realm, almost EVERY SINGLE appointee to cabinet positions seemed to NOT be qualified for the position their new leader had given them. Are the nominated and confirmed individuals gifted in politics, schooled in their assigned fields, and able to lead this country in their offices?

Or is it a recipe for disaster?

Each cabinet member has an education and a career, but it appears that they aren't even close to being qualified for the offices that they now hold.

YOUR future is in THEIR hands.

    About the Author

    INTRODUCTION

    2016 saw quite an election. Three parties lost; one had won.

    But in reality, was it really the party that had won? Well, perhaps that might be great for another book to explore. That book would lean more towards Political Philosophy.

    This one, however, is more like Politicos Biography. It sounds more dull and less complicated, but I assure you that if you have an interest in who has control over your life and your kids' or grandkids' lives, this book is a necessity in your library.

    This book has taken a little more than a year to complete, not because I was keeping current score of each cabinet member in the current administration, but rather because the cabinet itself kept changing. It seemed that every other week, a high-ranking official in the White House would walk off his job and quit, or President Donald Trump would lose his temper and fire the individual. It was happening so frequently, I almost considered writing two books: one about the original cabinet members and one about the last men and women standing.

    Many chapters have been deleted from the first draft of this book—some of which became Medium.com articles—and the same amount of chapters had to be either rewritten to reflect the new post (like in the case of Flynn), or drafted afresh to reflect a new replacement.

    I've joked with my friends when they asked what I was working on this year that while I was working on a book about Donald Trump's confirmed nominees to cabinet positions, I assured them that I wasn't writing a comedy or a horror. This is indeed a work of non-fiction, though I can see how one could refuse to accept this reality: it can truly be called a comedic horror based on true events.

    Every single claim in this book is considered to be true, at lease from y research. Every biographical statement can be located in an article written elsewhere: in journals, newspapers, and magazines. The citations are categorized alphabetically by the publication's URL and should be clickable in this book's ebook format. I trusted in journalist integrity and responsible source material for each chapter.

    Any information that is futuristically found to be false, I would gladly recant and update the book to reflect corrected errors, provided that the error is significant and comes with substanciated proof.

    In closing, I'd like to give credit to my awesome wife, Cynthia, for reading through the first draft with her searching, beautiful eyes. I appreciate that you're such an encouraging teammate.

    No matter which party you vote under the banner as, may the following chapters make us realize the type of person the American people can ignorantly elect—someone who would put many persons in high-ranking offices who are mostly not qualified to hold their positions. And no matter what party you claim to be, we still have some scary years ahead for us.

    To everyone else: Enjoy the read.

    Steve Dustcircle, January 2018

    P.S. A few errors were discovered in the first chapter by a reader. They have been corrected in this revised copy. If you had purchased the digital copy, this edition's corrected.

    MIKE PENCE

    VICE PRESIDENT

    The Vice President of the United States of America is the highest officer in the Legislative Branch and is a member of the National Security Council and would replace the President if he or she were removed from office either by impeachment or death.

    The Veep is considered the president of the United States Senate and only casts votes in Congress if there is a tie between parties. His or her office usually takes a more moderate or radical position on issues from the President, to help balance views and actions.

    The Vice President with the elected President Donald Trump currently is childhood altar boy Mike Pence, the former Republican Governor of Indiana.

    Michael Richard Pence was born and raised in Indiana with five siblings. His grandparents on both sides were Irish immigrants. His father fought in the Korean War.

    In his young adult years, Mike Pence was a Catholic Democrat, being motivated to get into politics by watching John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King's leadership.

    In college, he converted to evangelicalism, and began to lean more right-wing, adopting then-president Ronald Reagan's policies. His mother was not amused.

    He earned a law degree from the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law. It was then that Mike Pence practiced law in his own firm.

    In 1991, Pence was president of the Indiana Policy Review Foundation, which helps promote free market capitalism with almost no government oversight. This Libertarian non-profit organization is a part of the State Policy Network, which has branches in other states.

    Pence attempted to become a congressman twice—quitting his job the second time around—before settling into a position as a right-wing radio talk show host from 1994 to 1999. He lost either because of (or in spite of?) portraying his opponent's supporters in a commercial as grateful Middle Eastern extremists.

    In 2000, Mike Pence finally got his foot in the door as a congressman in 2001, and stayed a representative for about twelve years. In Congress, he belonged to the Tea Party Caucus, founded by
