President-elect Donald Trump has made controversial cabinet appointments, prioritizing loyalty over experience. He nominated Matt Gaetz, a congressman with a troubled past, as Attorney General, raising eyebrows among both parties due to his previous investigation over sex trafficking allegations. Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman known for her unconventional foreign policy views, was appointed as Director of National Intelligence despite lacking relevant experience. Additionally, Trump selected Pete Hegseth, a Fox News commentator, for Secretary of Defense, which has drawn skepticism over his qualifications. Critics from within the Republican Party have expressed shock and concern regarding these choices, indicating a potential struggle for confirmation in the Senate. Overall, these appointments reflect Trump's commitment to reshaping his administration with loyal allies rather than traditional candidates.
