The real reason Trump picked a sex fiend, dog killer, and anti-vaxxer for his cabinet

Frida Ghitis : The real reason Trump picked a sex fiend, dog killer, and anti-vaxxer for his cabinet is that he is creating his own reality, Ghitis says.

She cites a quote from a Bush aide who said the "reality-based community" of journalists and others who clung to an old world order failed to understand how U.S. wielded power in the 21st century .

Ghitis writes that the media is treating the incoming Trump like another president when he is busy turning his unreality into our new reality.

The only thing I can say now with any certainty is this: We’re not getting anywhere until the delusional reality-based community wakes up from the dream state where it currently resides. The truth is going to keep losing until we acknowledge that it’s a new brave world, and we take the fight to the sphere of unreality where an American monarch is rapidly building his castle fortress.
