President-elect Donald Trump has announced a controversial Cabinet, prioritizing loyalty over experience. Notable appointments include Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as head of Health and Human Services, despite his history of spreading misinformation about vaccines. Other picks include Pete Hegseth for defense secretary and Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence. Former Congressman Matt Gaetz has been nominated for attorney general, raising concerns among some Republicans about his past controversies. While some appointments, like Marco Rubio as secretary of state, are less contentious, the overall Cabinet reflects Trump's strategy of surrounding himself with loyal allies. This approach aims to support his agenda of reducing government influence.
