The Trump Second Terms Team has some surprises…..

Axios has two piece’s that point out something different than the screaming media headliones about Trump 2.0 staff picks….

Some of these people were Democrats back in the day like Trump….

And?

Some of them have expresed views that aren’t so differnt than the people Trump is kicking out….

Also?

Donald Trump HIMSELF isn’t as hardcore as his buddies in the MAGA group he formed for his ‘own’ use….

 

Nothing captures the dramatic ideological transformation of the Republican Party more vividly than President-elect Trump’s proposed cabinet.

• A pro-abortion-rights Kennedy running HHS (RFK Jr.).
• A pro-union centrist running Labor (U.S. Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer of Oregon).
• A former elected Democrat as director of national intelligence (Tulsi Gabbard).
• A former George Soros adviser, who now promises Trumponomics will turn around the economy, running the Treasury (Scott Bessent).

Why it matters: Lost in the noise of Trump’s most controversial picks is the simple, undebatable fact that this might be the most ideologically diverse cabinet of modern times.

• As Axios’ Zachary Basu told you, Trump’s Cabinet increasingly resembles a European-style coalition government, staffed with a dizzying array of ideological rivals united — for now — by a grand MAGA vision.

Between the lines: It’s Trump’s team of (ideological) rivals.

• The team represents the Trump worldview: Traditional conservatism is dead — and its biggest, lifelong advocates neutered to the point of irrelevance.

A Trump transition source told us most of the picks are “a version of Trump in their thinking and approach”:

• “They’re fearless disrupters who can walk into these buildings, and know they have a mandate for reform and change.”

What we’re hearing: Trump’s earlier hostile takeover of the Republican establishment is now morphing into a fast-forward “hostile takeover” of the federal bureaucracy….

…

• For Treasury, Scott Bessent will bring deep knowledge of bond and currency markets and a close relationship with Trump — as well as a surprising connection to hedge fund manager George Soros, megadonor to liberal causes and bogeyman to the political right. Go deeper with Axios’ Neil Irwin & Courtenay Brown
• For Labor, Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-Ore.), who lost her reelection bid this month, has a pro-labor record that unions like. She backed the PRO Act, a President Biden priority that would make it easier to unionize on a federal level. Go deeper.
• For FDA, Dr. Marty Makary, a surgeon and author who gained prominence on Fox News for his contrarian COVID views. Go deeper.
• For HUD, Scott Turner, a Texan who is the highest-ranking Black person Trump has yet selected for his administration. Turner — a motivational speaker and former NFL cornerback for Washington, San Diego and Denver — ran the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council during Trump’s first term. Go deeper.

More….

Note….

Lets face it….

The American Government IS HUGE and HAS inefficiencies …..

Changing some it probably would be advantageous….

There will NOT be major changes without the ok from the Congress, which has already signalled that somem of Trump’s wishes just ain’t gonna make it……
