Trump Focuses on Loyalists for Cabinet Appointments

As President-elect Donald Trump prepares for his second administration, he is prioritizing the appointment of loyalists who align closely with his agendas, particularly in immigration and national security. Key selections include Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff and Mike Waltz as national security adviser, both of whom are seen as strong supporters of Trump’s policies. Tom Homan, a former ICE director, has been named 'border czar,' tasked with overseeing border security and deportations, while Elise Stefanik is set to become the UN ambassador, promoting an 'America First' stance. Additionally, Stephen Miller is expected to serve as deputy chief of staff, emphasizing strict immigration policies. Trump's cabinet picks signal a move away from the pushback he faced during his first term, focusing instead on individuals who share his hardline views. The ongoing transition process highlights a clear intention to reshape the Pentagon and other key agencies with loyalists who will support Trump's controversial policies.
