I nominate for word of the year “Kikistrocracy”. It comes from the Greek, meaning government “…by the least able or least principled…” of citizens. The dictionary should add “see Trump administration.” Trump is certainly the least principled of any of our presidents, and he has assembled a cabinet of those least able to accomplish the duties of the office. In some cases he has appointed them to dismantle the department completely. It is way past the time the Republican members of congress wake up and pitch in to rein in the national disaster that is making us the laughing stock of the world.
