The US is very elitist. Other than the Attorney General position which should be run by a lawyer every other position only requires someone to be literate in English. You might not like Trump's picks but they are all qualified as in can read English. It's not like the Defence Secretary leads troops into a battle or does some strategic work behind the scenes, they just read reports that's literally all they do and in the case of Defence Secretary they have no power to do anything because congress funds stuff and the President makes all final decisions.
