Trump’s Potential Cabinet Picks: Musk and Kennedy Jr. in the Running

This Wednesday, Susie Wiles was appointed as the first Chief of Staff. While other candidates were considered, no further official appointments have been announced yet. Who might be next?

A New Government Takes Shape

The post-election period is rife with speculation about the makeup of the upcoming government. In Donald Trump’s case, campaign architect Susie Wiles has been appointed as Chief of Staff, marking the first time a woman has held this position. Prominent figures like the world’s wealthiest man, Elon Musk, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr., are also being mentioned.

Upcoming Appointments

According to Jason Miller, an advisor to the billionaire Republican, Donald Trump’s transition team is set to soon announce an initial list of ministers and advisors before his inauguration on January 20, 2025. The future members of Trump’s second administration are expected to be a mix of loyalists, newcomers, and even Democrats and independents.

Key Positions

Several positions are highly anticipated. The “Washington Post” has named Mike Lee and Eric Schmitt as potential candidates for the Justice Minister, a particularly sensitive role given the criminal cases against Trump. Richard Grenell is also a likely candidate for either Secretary of State and/or National Security Advisor.

Furthermore, the role of Minister of Government Efficiency could go to Elon Musk, the head of Tesla and SpaceX.

A Reformed Administration?

If billionaires Musk and Trump can reach an agreement, they might implement significant federal administration reforms, potentially slashing up to $2000 billion from a total budget of $7000 billion. However, the specifics of these reforms are yet to be detailed.
