Only Trump can make competent picks. Due to his mastery of hiring, as seen in the Apprentice, he has the best judgement possible.
In fact, I would say that Trump is uniquely qualified to pick candidates that will serve his interests. And since his interests are making America Great Again we can trust he will put only the greatest picks forward.
Apparently when a cat does this they are showing they trust you. You break this trust when you rub their belly. This causes them to violently attack you. True story and I would do it again.
