THE ATLANTIC: The Very Male Trump Administration
The president has named twice as many men as women to appointed positions, an Atlantic analysis shows.
In a surprise move, President Trump named Gina Haspel as his pick for director of the Central Intelligence Agency; she will be the first woman to head the agency. According to an analysis conducted by The Atlantic, the White House gave administrative positions to twice as many men as women. The GOP counters the report by arguing that Mr. Trump “has appointed more women to senior-level positions than previous administrations and he’s empowering ALL Americans with his winning agenda.” The Atlantic says otherwise. Their analysis shows this is the most male team since Reagan’s administration.
