Donald Trump has appointed a surprising number of generals to civilian cabinet positions, prompting fears that his administration will feel more like a military junta than a traditional government with civilians in charge.

Many Americans, especially those who enthusiastically supported Hillary Clinton, are still shocked and devastated that Donald Trump defeated her in the electoral college and that he is about to become president within six weeks.

Now many journalists are saying that these tweets shouldn’t necessarily be covered as serious news, even if they are spoken by a future President of the United States.
