President-Elect Trump's cabinet

I didn’t see them speculate on Education… Which leads to further speculation on my part…

@Renauda said in WSJ speculates on Trump's cabinet:
I don’t think as Chief of Staff she needs to
know anything about Russia other than where it is on a world map. Managing the President’s work day schedule and the WH staff though she ought to know everything possible to keep things running as smoothly as can be under all conditions and circumstances.I first read jolly’s post as an answer to Wim’s but I realize he was just posting news.

Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Well, that's interesting...
I listened to an interview with Vivek. He said that the experience of running for president was amazing - simply because, being a political noob, he had no idea of how Washington works, and where the pitfalls are. He then said that this also applied to Trump in 2016. He predicts it'll be different this time around.

Everybody from Trump's inner circle that I've heard interviewed have immediately pulled back when asked what they think their role in the new administration might be. I sense some deference to Trump. They have been promised nothing, and they expect nothing until it is offered.
Education is extremely important.

Good point. I saw Rubio interviewed re' cabinet posts, and that's the sense I got.
I find it interesting that President-Elect Trump posted this.

That’s not a surprise. I think Ivanka didn’t like the very nasty attention their kids were getting.

I am not sure why people think that the way President Trump will pick people for his cabinet will be different from the last time.
Last time, we were told (by himself) that we was a businessman who had decades of experience in hiring people and only hired the best. I dont see him changing his style unless to make that there is some sort of "loyalty" question in the hiring.

And remarkably polite.
Even shockingly polite.

Not a cabinet post, but...
Rumor is that Wray is going to resign, perhaps before the inauguration.

Is he staying within extradition reach? Asking for a friend.

Loyalty will absolutely be a thing, and I've heard Don Jr say as much. Remember the history of people in the white house bragging anonymously about being adults in the room, keeping him in check. There'll be none of that anymore. So the adults, now outside the room, can go a corner, assume the fetal position, and weep uncontrollably, as adults will do.
It's important to keep in mind that he only expects a normal level of loyalty to a president, rather than an extraordinary amount. He was met with an extraordinary amount of disloyalty last time, and he has an obligation to his voters to make sure that does not happen again. Loyalty to a president from the white house staff is a normal thing, and he will get it this time.
