Trump appoints disgraced ex-GOP Gov Scott Walker to oversee scholars at the Smithsonian Institution
President Donald Trump has appointed former Republican Gov. Scott Walker to an administration position following his defeat for re-election during the 2018 midterm elections.
As governor, Walker sought to drastically cut funding for the University of Wisconsin system. He was even caught trying to remove the search for truth from the guiding principles of the states university system.
Despite his history, Walker was appointed to a position overseeing scholarship.
On Tuesday Trump appointed Walker to the Board of Trustees of the Woodrow Wilson Internation Center for Scholars in the Smithsonian Institution.
Walkers term will not expire until October 23, 2024.

A sharp intellect is a major thing they held against Carter, Clinton and Obama.
But they would have loved to have a beer with the brain-addled (and alcoholic!) Bush.

(244 posts)This makes me so sad. It just reminds us how much more damage he can do before the next election. Every person he appoints is pretty much the opposite of whom a sane person would choose. Every day it is something. How much more can this nation take and still recover. There is too much time until the election. Not only does he use that time to screw us but it is time given to the evil ones to perfect their cheating. I think we are all aware of what happens should he win. Id love to say no way could he win but I said that before.

to another school and he was 90% of the way to his degree.
And yes as noted up thread this is Trump just trolling the democrats and educated people.
