A Balanced View of Trump’s Cabinet | 11/25/24

Now that Trump’s Cabinet is pretty much set, I go through my unique perspective on his individual picks and the direction of his administration in total. I’m very concerned about his picks for Treasury and Labor, mixed together with some of the others who will oversee domestic policy. There are three outcomes of this administration, and I raise concerns that one of them is the creation of a new centrist/lean-left coalition that permanently marginalizes conservatives. My concern is that we get all of the left-wing components of populism but not the right-leaning components. With that said, I’m not as concerned about some of the HHS picks as some of my allies. Although the surgeon general pick is terrible, the more consequential positions will likely be occupied by COVID heroes rather than COVID zeroes. We need to remain vigilant to achieve enduring victories before Democrats come back into power, and right now this can go either way. The realm of outcomes is actually, ironically, perfectly represented in this mixed bag of top government appointees.
