President-elect Donald Trump has announced a controversial Cabinet for his second term, including figures like Matt Gaetz, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Elon Musk. These selections have sparked strong reactions, with critics concerned about their extreme views and qualifications. Gaetz, nominated as attorney general, faces scrutiny due to past allegations of misconduct. RFK Jr., a vaccine skeptic, will lead the Department of Health and Human Services, while Musk is set to oversee a new budget-cutting initiative. Trump's rapid appointments aim to reward loyal allies and fulfill campaign promises, particularly on immigration. His choices may lead to contentious Senate confirmation hearings early next year.
