There's a pretty good article on cracked.com that outlines (part of) the problems with his picks, I know it's been said before but his picks are all backwards.

in case you are short on time here is a summary

Jeff Sessions
Man who is racist in a way that I would only expect to see in a movie about a slavery is now attorney general (uses phrases like "race traitor&quot

Wilbur Ross
Guy who stole from his customers in charge of commerce. He also has gotten 12 of his employees killed by not keeping his mine up to code.

Steven Mnuchin
Banker who foreclosed on homes he had no right to foreclose on is now in charge of the treasury

Mike Flynn
Guy who lives in RW bubble in charge of national security. Hates Islam yet also has business ties to Turkey (and Russia, of course)
