Is there a term similar to DEI hire for Trump's cabinet picks?

Fox News host as Secretary for Defense? What the actual fuck? Most are clearly not even remotely qualified in the least for their positions. Something that implies they passed the Trump loyalty test.

Gets you a TITLE in the trump administration. You won’t have a job. You will have a title which comes with a hefty salary. Your opinion is irrelevant. Stray, and be fired, replaced by another disposable object. Replaced by a convicted felon, rapist and stealer of classified information. This is what happens when conservatives values are activated.
