Also, US Code 7 USC 6971, which authorizes the position, states the position must be chosen “from among distinguished scientists with specialized training or significant experience in agricultural research, education, and economics.” Trump's choice has none of these things. He has zero qualifications to hold this job, it seems to be nothing more than payment for supporting Trump in the campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
