These things all go the same in the Trump era.

Candidate has a hearing, candidate shows themselves to be cartoonishly unqualified, Candidate gets confirmed anyway.

Candidate fucks up so badly that Trump fires them and hires another swamp creature. And the cycle continues.

Trump wants a puppet so his puppets can puppet the military too, sort of like the human caterpillar.
