We’ve come to the conclusion that Chris Cillizza has way too much free time on his hands.

Seriously.

Who sits around looking at pictures of Trump’s cabinet worrying about the number of DUDES …

Whole lotta dudes….https://t.co/ej7pipsO5p

From CNN (sorry):

The only woman in the whole photograph — whether real or in a painting — is sitting behind Trump and to his left. She appears to be either a note-taker or a translator.

As Politico’s Susan Glasser tweeted about the photo Thursday night: “Happy International Women’s Day.”

Trump has been criticized in some circles for the dearth of women in top jobs in his administration. Of the 23 Cabinet and Cabinet-level posts filled by Trump, women hold just five, according to the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University. That means just 22% of his senior-level Cabinet jobs are held by women, well below the 35% of women in President Obama’s 2nd term and less than the 30% of women in Obama’s 1st term. In fact, the 22% of women in Cabinet roles is the lowest since George W. Bush’s 1st term when that number stood at 19%.

Ok, so?

If you’re hiring women to meet a quota you’re doing it wrong, Chris.

He likes this story so much he tweeted it several times.

22% of Trump Cabinet officials are women.

It was 35% for Obama in his 1st term.https://t.co/ej7pipsO5p pic.twitter.com/U01RYnShZj
