[QUOTE]But Sam Clovis — who, according to sources with knowledge of the appointment and members of the agriculture trade press, is President Trump’s pick to oversee the section — appears to have no such credentials.

Clovis has never taken a graduate course in science and is openly skeptical of climate change. While he has a doctorate in public administration and was a tenured professor of business and public policy at Morningside College for 10 years, he has published almost no academic work.

Clovis is better known for hosting a conservative talk radio show in his native Iowa and, after mounting an unsuccessful run for Senate in 2014, becoming a fiery pro-Trump advocate on television.[/QUOTE]

Of course Trump is going to nominate a guy who has no credentials in his relevant field.

Like him. :v

Although the real reason is probably because the man supports his idiotic views on climate change.

At least it's not another fraud scientist.

At this rate I wonder if it would be more effective for the whole of the scientific agencies getting unqualified/scrupulous heads should just throw up their hands, walk out, and refuse to cooperate with the idiots. Or would that just allow more idiots to be hired in their stead?

A talk show host will be the head of the USDA.

Let that sink in.

lmao he looks like such a stereotypical business man villain

[HumanAbyss]

He looks like the least healthy person I've ever seen

[TurtleeyFP]

This is absolutely intentional. Trump​'s band believes these roles & agencies, and the whole government, have too much power and should be sabotaged. Appointing this idiot will remove credibility and stop research into climate change which is perfect for them.

This is all Trump sees when he makes his decision. "The country's gotta be run like a business."

If there's a film of the Trump Administration, I hope it too contrains a scene where Trump sticks a flower down a man's arse.

He looks like the lawyer from bee movie and Al from toy story two fused together

I mean the president's biggest claim to fame before 2016 was having a reality tv show and being rich. we've already crossed that line

[fancy ghost ☂]

Hear me out guys, but I don't think Colonel Sanders is a terrible choice for head ag

[Daniel Smith]

Well no shit. The head of the dep. of energy under Obama was an actual nuclear physicist but now it's Rick Perry for some fucking reason.

Gotta do the opposite of what Obama did!
