The giants of our age

Trump continues to crap all over American institutions before he's even legally elected President. His latest cabinet pick is a doozy:

[I]t is somehow an appropriate metaphor of our era that, if he is nominated and confirmed, this could be the sequence of U.S. Secretaries of Energy:

• 2009-2013, Steven Chu, winner of the Nobel prize in physics, professor of physics at UC Berkeley, director of Lawrence Berkeley National Lab;
• 2013-2017, Ernest Moniz, professor of nuclear physics at MIT, former under secretary of Energy;
• 2017- , Rick Perry, the man who couldn’t remember the department’s name.

I mean. For fuck's sake.
