Experts raise concerns over Trump's cabinet picks and potential impact on government institutions

Former Council on Foreign Relations president Richard Haass and journalist John Heilemann expressed concerns about Donald Trump's cabinet picks on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." They criticized the potential appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. Haass highlighted issues of judgment and competence, stating that Kennedy's views could endanger public health. Heilemann argued that the current administration aims to dismantle government institutions, echoing sentiments from the Trump administration in 2017 about weakening the administrative state. Both panelists emphasized the seriousness of these appointments, suggesting they threaten the effectiveness of essential government agencies.
