The Philosophers In Trump’s Cabinet
“I was totally expecting Trump to tap Zeno for secretary of transportation.”
Thank you, David Sobel (Syracuse).
Your similar expectations of which philosophers Trump, with his characteristic wisdom, would nominate for cabinet positions, real or imagined, are welcome.
Perhaps Schopenhauer for Health and Human Services? Berkeley for Interior?
David Lewis for Ambassador to the United Worlds.
Strauss for Attorney General.
Thomas Hobbes for Secretary of State.
Judy Thomson for transport secretary.
Thrasymachus for Department of Justice.
Descartes’ Evil Demon for Press Secretary.
Emil Cioran for HHS Department of Mental Health.
Diogenes for the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Carl Schmitt for the Department of Homeland Security
Malebranche to ensure the separate of church and state!
Parmenides for the Department of Energy
I left my comment. Then, I took a look at the comments. Surprisingly, I saw yours! It seems that we have close mentalities. Nice to Meet You!

Respectfully yours,

Machiavelli for Sec of State
Socrates: Special Prosecutor in Trump’s inevitable impeachment proceedings.
Alternative:
Socrates: White House Chief Sommelier.
“Hemlock 399BC, Mr. President?”
Heidegger for Secretary of Education.
Or perhaps Jacobi?
Marquis de Sade for Chief of Staff.
Bentham for Secretary of Legacy Preservation. Not for the utilitarianism of course, but Trump would probably really dig the idea of creating an auto-icon.
I was totally expecting Trump to tap ‘Diogenes of Sinope’ for secretary of ‘Department of Housing and Urban Development.’

Nietzsche let the Pope
Kant for Sec of Education.
Hobbes for Ambassador to the United Nations
Bernart Stiegler for Treasury Secretary.
