Donald Trump
With Donald Trump winning the U.S. presidential election, he is preparing for inauguration on January 20, and one of the key questions remains the composition of his team. Reports suggest that only a few of his former associates are still with him. Recently, Trump announced his first appointment: Suzy Wiles, the head of his campaign, will become the White House Chief of Staff.
Suzy Wiles is the only member of Trump’s team whose future has already been determined. Her work as the head of the campaign played a crucial role in Trump’s victory. In his victory speech, he highlighted her contributions, calling her the “Ice Maiden.” Wiles will be the first woman to hold the Chief of Staff position, making this appointment historic. She began her political career in the late 1970s and participated in Ronald Reagan’s 1980 campaign. Wiles is known for her ability to manage the ambitions of Trump and his team, which may help create a more organized administration.
Robert Kennedy Jr., the nephew of the assassinated President John Kennedy, has been actively involved in politics over the past two years. He ran as a candidate for the Democratic Party but, after facing setbacks, decided to support Trump. In recent months, he has led Trump’s initiative called “Make America Healthy Again.” Trump has promised that Kennedy will play an important role in public health agencies like the CDC and FDA. Kennedy also advocates for fluoride-free drinking water and asserts that his stance does not oppose vaccination but aims to improve public information.
Elon Musk, the head of Tesla and SpaceX, expressed his support for Trump this year, despite previous statements. He has become one of Trump’s most active supporters and has donated significant sums to his campaign. Musk and Trump are discussing the creation of a “Department of Government Efficiency,” which Musk could lead. This department aims to reduce bureaucracy and optimize government operations.
Richard Grenell, who held several positions under Trump, is also being considered for Secretary of State or National Security Advisor. He is known for his loyalty to Trump and his proposals for resolving the conflict in Ukraine.
Caroline Levitt, who served as a press secretary during Trump’s first term, is being considered for the White House Press Secretary position. She demonstrated ambition by running for Congress from New Hampshire but was unsuccessful.
Tom Homan, who previously served as Acting Director of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), may take the position of Secretary of Homeland Security. He is known for his tough stance on immigration and his development of a plan for mass deportation.
Thus, Trump’s team is taking shape, and some key figures have already been identified, which could significantly influence his administration.
