How about Ronnie Johnson?

Busted from Admiral to Captain due to his erratic behavior and drinking? At least he is an MD.of sorts.

But I do wonder if RFK Jr. is part of Barron's input. If as is being reported, Barron played a role I'm guessing he's the one pushing for his father to listen to Kennedy, Musk and probably Joe Rogan

9. We already know from Chump 1.0

... the only good Cabinet Secretaries are the ones who sit quietly in meetings while Chump does all the talking. Nobody ever disagrees with him or expresses an independent opinion. While talking to the press (never a good idea) the Secretaries uniformly sing Chump's praises.

Bob will never do any of this, and therefore he won't last long as a secretary in Chump's cabinet.

10. All of this talk of having too many chemicals in our food is not going to go over well

It is a good populist message but the GOP will reject the regulation needed to make any improvements.

They are all happy with him since he helped them. But all that will quickly go out the window when they realize that European/Canadian style ingredient lists only happen because of European/Canadian style regulation
