Trump Completes Cabinet Picks In ‘Fast Moving Process’
The faces of Trump 2.0 are young, with heavy representation from the business world
By Nathan Worcester | The Epoch Times
President-elect Donald J. Trump has chosen the men and women who will likely play leading parts in his administration.
Transition Chief of Staff Susie Wiles announced the Cabinet was complete on Nov. 26.
Trump’s Cabinet picks are generally expected to require confirmation from the Senate, though talk of recess appointments has not abated.
The faces of Trump 2.0 are young, with heavy representation from the business world. They also show less influence of the pre-Trump GOP establishment than his first Cabinet.
Despite the constant trope that Trump is terrified of women… 8 of the 25 nominations are of the female gender (allegedly)
As an aside, here are the non-cabinet, high-level positions Trump has already filled…
Here’s what you need to know.
The Trump-Vance transition has moved fast, picking all or virtually all Cabinet-level positions within roughly three weeks of Election Day.
It stands in contrast to the transition process after Trump’s first victory in 2016. It took months for that first Cabinet to be assembled.
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, for example, was only announced on Dec. 13, 2016, and multiple positions were not named until the new year.
Secretary of Veterans Affairs David Shulkin was not announced until Jan. 11, 2017, while Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue was publicly tapped a few days later. Trump’s choices for director of national intelligence, Daniel Coats, and U.S. trade representative, Robert Lighthizer, also came in 2017.
Past presidents also took longer to name Cabinet members than Trump this time around.
Barack Obama was still picking Cabinet officials in late December 2008. The same was true of George W. Bush in 2000.
The incoming Trump administration will be confronted with world challenges, from the Middle East to Ukraine to the Pacific.

Loyalists like South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem and Stefanik, both once discussed as possible Trump running mates, were also rewarded.
