Being the president of the United States has all sorts of perks: nice house, fancy jet plane, personalized M&Ms, and the ability to dole out all sorts of favors for your pals, just because you're in a generous giving mood. And surely that's what was happening with former President Donald Trump when he named more than a dozen of his friends, confidants, and enablers to the boards of this country's illustrious military schools during his waning days in office. Why else would he appoint some of his most dedicated minions — people like longtime adviser and failed stand up comedian Kellyanne Conway and his first press secretary, the shouty Sean Spicer — to cushy positions at fabled institutions like West Point and the Naval Academy?
Well, whatever his reasons, nearly 20 of Trump's military academy appointees are now going to have to find somewhere else to pad their CVs, after President Biden ignominiously booted them from their respective roles molding the future of America's armed forces.
