President-Elect Trump's cabinet
-
@George-K said in WSJ speculates on Trump's cabinet:
Some of the most powerful figures in Trump’s second term could get loosely defined adviser roles that don’t require Senate confirmation but nonetheless come with proximity and access to the former president.
This is a little bit breathless. But actually such a role doesn't even need to be loosely defined. It doesn't need to be defined in any way. We don't police all social contacts of our presidents, but it sure would have been interesting to do a deep dive into such things during Biden's puppeteered reign*.
*used correctly, for George

I heard the 2016 stigma is reduced, and Trump is getting lots and lots of applications from mainstreamers for jobs in his administration. Not sure how true that is.

Pompeo will be in something, fer shur.
He might even pitch Kennedy for HHS. I think McCarthy gets something. Musk definitely heads us the cost-cutting and efficiency brigade. I didn't see Tulsi mentioned, but I think she gets something...Secretary of the Air Force, perhaps?
Whatever happens, he's coming out swinging.

I've read skepticism about Pompeo - too swampy.

Presumably he can see him doing that from his own dark, dank position.

Trump values loyalty. Trump also talked with Rogan about mistakes he made, selecting too many people in his first administration he didn't really know or selecting people that did not understand how the levers of power are used in Washington.

Sincere question: does Trump have someone like Condoleeza Rice who truly understands how the Russian political system functions?

Linda McMahon, the co-chair of Trump’s transition team and his former Small Business Administration chief, is considered by some of the former president’s allies to be a leading contender for the job.
I am still astounded that two personalities from WWE will be leading this nation…

She’s been a political consultant her whole career dating back to Kemp’s presidential campaign. What does she know about Russia?

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