His nominations so far have proven that he is keeping his goals in his crosshairs, as he has put forth some of the most impactful cabinet nominees in American history.
America changed the course of its history on November 5th by electing President Donald Trump back to office as the 47th President of the United States of America. Trump won every battleground state in contention, landing at three hundred twelve electoral votes, and will win the popular vote, becoming the first Republican nominee to do so since President George W. Bush in 2004. With changing demographics, it is debatable that this electoral landslide and winning the popular vote are the most dominant presidential election performances since President Ronald Reagan defeated Walter Mondale in 1984.
Not only was this a dominant performance for Trump alone, but the 45th and now 47th President-elect carried Republicans in United States House and Senate races throughout the country, delivering a trifecta government for the first time since 2016. The result indicates a mandate in which a majority of the United States electorate voted for a significant change to the direction of the country and is advocating for the controlling party to have complete control over the federal government to do so. The American people voted for change, and if Trump’s nominees for his cabinet are any indication, they will get it.
President Trump’s goals are to eliminate the deep state establishment, reform the federal bureaucracy, and prevent the federal government from weaponizing political force. His nominations so far have proven that he is keeping his goals in his crosshairs, as he has put forth some of the most impactful cabinet nominees in American history.
Trump nominated Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence, a decorated veteran and Fox News host Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense, and former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services. Existing as some of the most polarizing people in politics, Gabbard, Hegseth, and Kennedy are viewed as some of the most impactful choices Trump could have made for his cabinet, with many Republicans wondering if their party will vote to confirm them. Besides Senators Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins, who are dregs regarding the Senate GOP’s courage, there should be no expectation that the conference will vote any of these candidates down.
