PETRO PRESIDENCY: According to reports, President-elect Donald Trump has run so low on billionaires for his cabinet that he’s down to mere multimillionaires — but only if they’re heavy into oil and close to Russia’s Vladimir Putin.
And what’s a GOP cabinet without a frackin’ Texan?
Rick Perry, former Texas governor who once pledged to abolish the energy department, is Trump’s choice to run the agency. Also, weirdly, when Perry was seeking the GOP presidential nomination in 2012 and wanted to eliminate the energy agency, he couldn’t remember its name.
