The New York Times’ relentless identity politics drumbeat is absurd. Trump’s cabinet includes diverse figures: Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Attorney General Pam Bondi are Latinos; EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin is Jewish; Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is gay; Education Secretary Linda McMahon, DNI Tulsi Gabbard, and UN Ambassador Elise Stefanik are women. Yet, the Times fixates on identity over policy, ignoring Rubio’s foreign policy expertise or McMahon’s business acumen.
This cabinet, with billionaires like Bessent and loyalists like Gabbard, prioritizes Trump’s agenda, not tokenism. The Times’ narrative distorts reality, reducing complex leaders to simplistic identity markers.
The Secretaries of State and Labor are Latinos, the HUD secretary is black, the DNI is a female Pacific Islander, the Treasury Secretary is gay, the education, Ag, & DHS secretaries are women, as are the AG, chief of staff, and head of Small Biz Admin.
