Concerns Over Appointments and Loyalty

The selection of individuals for key roles in the government highlights a trend towards appointing those who are unwaveringly loyal to Trump rather than those with the requisite expertise. Figures like a former congresswoman promoting Russian narratives and a controversial anti-vaccine activist as leads in crucial departments suggest a shift from meritocracy to loyalty-based appointments. This indicates a potential disregard for traditional governmental structures and the principles upon which they were built. Critics argue that Trump seeks to transform these agencies into tools for personal and political advantage, undermining their foundational integrity.
