Washington D.C. — Former President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, has started dropping hints of potential choices for a fresh administration. These appointments recognizably preserve Trump outsider strategy in politics, as the president has been famous for choosing rather unexpected and unconventional candidates for the key posts.
One of the more shocking selections is Linda McMahon, the WWE co-founder, and former SBA head nominee for the Secretary of Education. Though McMahon has a business background, and supports school choice, which echoes Republicans’ agenda, people criticize her for not having any prior experience in the schooling sector.
Another top pick is another Republican congressman Mark Meadows, former White House Chief of Staff, who appears to be on the short list for the post of Secretary of Homeland Security.
Both Kim Meadows, the leading pick for the House Administration seat, and Jody Hice, the swing vote for the Speaker of the House seat, would bring legislative experience, although Meadows has been criticized for his role in disputes over the 2020 elections.
Trump has also made some indications of bringing back several personnel who served in his previous administration. Stephen Miller, particularly, has some controversies because of his stance on immigration policies He is likely to be promoted deeper role in domestic policy.
At the same time, Larry Kudlow, former National Economic Council director, is mentioned as a candidate for Treasury Secretary nomination, which points to the President’s determination on getting the economy back on its feet as well as the matter of deregulation.
These nominations mirror Trump’s devotion to “America First” policies and transparency in expressing devotion to loyalty, and having business experience coupled with conservative beliefs. However, have also renewed controversies on qualification and ideological orientation.
“Some of Trump’s Cabinet picks are undoubtedly intended to appeal to his supporters, but there is lack of initiatives to solve the problems that both Democrats and Republicans are concerned about,” analyzed the political scientist Jennifer Reed.
One of the main proclamations made is that Trump selections are not experienced politicians but rather professionals with business skills. “Now, President Trump is building a team that focuses more on the middle-class Americans instead of the political insiders,” opined Jake
Thompson, a Republican strategist.
In the second term, Trump also promised to address education, immigration, and economic development issues, Education and immigration reforms will be spearheaded by his Cabinet.
As the United States prepares for the highly anticipated 2024 election, Trump’s cabinet nominations offer insight into his second term agenda should he win which is expected to be as enshrouded by controversy as his first term.
