That moment when the networks declared that Donald Trump had been again elected president of the United States is starting to fade.

0:08.0

We're moving into the heart now of his decision making.

0:11.8

We're seeing a preview of what is to come.

This is the warning.

Donald Trump is assembling a cabinet of disordered personalities that is the most spectacularly unfit for serious responsibilities ever put together in the entire history of the United States.

0:31.9
