3. It's part of Trump's arrogance toward those in government and the American people generally.

Someone without any medical background can be Secretary of HHS. A poorly educated woman with no experience in the field of education can head that department. A drunk with no command experience can lead the DoD. These people follow his edicts because they have no expertise of their own to offer. They don’t push back because they know no more than DJT. And, of course that’s what he wants. He wants to be treated as though he’s the smartest person in any room and hates having that illusion destroyed. It’s why he hated Dr. Fauci, an acknowledged expert who wouldn’t cave to Trump’s nonsense. He’s inferior and doesn’t want to surround himself with those who are experts. So he makes bad choices and doesn’t care how poorly served the people of America are.
