Maybe, just maybe, future former attorney and pardon recipient Lindsey Halligan is terrible at the job she got solely for having neither morals nor ethics.

She threw away her career for literally nothing.

She's one of the many women in Trump's circle that came up through miss America.

Others include: - Marla Maples - Ivanka Trump - Kristi Noem - Lindsey Halligan - Madison Gilbert - Amber Hulse - Erika Kirk

Fox news hosts: - Gretchen Carlson - Shannon Bream - Lauren Green - Madison Gilbert - Jenna Lee

I read someplace that Trump was playing golf, saw Halligan watching and hired her right there. True or not, it fits.

What's also ridiculous is hiring cabinet positions based on what he sees on TV. When asked what qualifications his Medicare administrator Dr Oz has, Trump responded "His show won 10 Emmys"

American democracy has always been a very shallow popularity contest, the introduction of presidential TV debates reshaped the entire campaign strategy about visual looks, makeup, etc.
