Trump 2.0: Who will be Part of his Cabinet? | Vantage with Palki Sharma

so Donald Trump is celebrating his win he's speaking to leaders he's spending time with family and he's currently camping in maral Lago that's his luxury resort in Florida meanwhile his team is at work to prepare for the transition of power hectic meetings are underway the first priority is to pick office bearers that's candidates for the Trump cabinet several people are being vetted and while this process is in Focus only now it began quite some time ago that's right the battle for these jobs began long before election day so who are the top picks who are

the people who will make up the cabinet for Trump 2.0 first of course is the vice president now we already know who that will be JD van Trump's running mate Vance is 40 years old he is the first Millennial on a major party's presidential ticket one of the youngest elected vice presidents in America he will also be the first former Marine to hold this post so a lot of Firsts right there JD Vance used to be a venture capitalist in 2016 he wrote A Memoir called Hill Billy elery that's what shot him to Fame in

2017 he called Trump and I'm quoting a moral disaster clearly he's changed his views since then in 2022 he ran for the first time for political office and now two years later he is the vice president El next up is Secretary of State the person shaping America's foreign policy especially with two Wars underway so it is a crucial post and there are a few choices here one of them is Rick grenal Trump's former ambassador to Germany he has a tough stance on NATO also on defense pending which makes him one of Trump's top picks there's

also Bill hagy Trump's former ambassador to Japan he's known for his strong views on China also in the running is Marco Rubio Florida Senator and a trump Ally since 2016 then there's the defense secretary another important position and there are a lot of contenders here too but there's one name that is emerging stronger than the others Mike pompo he's already worked under Trump as CIA head and secretary of state so pompo could be back for a second stint fourth on the list is treasury secretary Trump won because he pledged to fix the economy so he

needs someone who can do that the top pick is Scott bessent he is a hedge fund investor also an economic adviser to Trump he supported his use of uh tariffs before another Contender is Larry Klo a prominent TV financial analyst he was the director of Trump's National Economic Council fifth is the health secretary again many names in the mix here but only one stands out and that is Robert F Kennedy Jr he abandoned his own presidential bid to endorse Trump he wants to make America healthy again and Trump seems to like that he's promised to

let Kennedy and I'm quoting go wild with health but it's going to be difficult even Republicans are unlikely to confirm this disappointment so RFK junor may not get the job after all we'll have to wait and see but he could still influence Health policies maybe as a White House Health Zar and finally there's a chief of staff during his last four years in the White House Donald Trump had four Chiefs of Staff that's very high attrition rate for such a position so he may want to avoid it this time and that means picking loyalists like

Susie Wilds Trump's campaign manager or Kevin McCarthy the former White House the former US House speaker those are the important positions but some other names are being floated too like Indian origin Kash Patel he's a trump loyalist in his previous cabinet Patel was a national security official now he's being considered again possibly for an intelligence role like the CIA director or the Director of National Intelligence and we also have Elon Musk of course he doesn't want a cabinet position he wants an entire new Department it's called Doge that's Department of government efficiency d OG G

the Tesla CEO wants to lead it to make the government run smoother so those are some of Donald Trump's top picks we don't know who he will choose eventually but we know what his top Criterion is and that is loyalty he talked about it on the Joe Rogan podcast he said he regretted picking some people the last time a lot of them abandoned him so he wouldn't want to make the same mistakes but while Trump may have his favorites his party may not agree with all of them you see see they were all behind him

United behind him during the campaign but when it comes to running the government there's a split you have your traditional Republicans they want a strong foreign policy endless Wars and cutting down social spending then there's the populists your JD Vans Donald Trump's son Don Jr and even Tucker Carlson they don't want the wars they want to cut military aid they want to boost IND boost Industries so that will be a battle going forward we'll have to wait and see how it impacts the functioning of the Trump government
