The person who would oversee the procurement and handling of nuclear material is Rick Perry. Let that sink in for a moment.
The man on the left is the current American Secretary of Energy, he has a degree in Theoretical Physics from Stanford. He’s a legitimate Nuclear Physicist – the maintenance of all our Nuclear weapons and nuclear power plants and the American energy grid falls under the Dept. of Energy. The man on the right is Trump’s nominee for Secretary of Energy, he’s the former governor of Texas who graduated with a 2.0 GPA and a degree in Animal Science and just so happens to be on the board of the company trying to build the Dakota pipeline.
