Trump announces key appointments for new administration amid competing agendas

Donald Trump has announced over a dozen key appointments for his upcoming administration, revealing a team united by loyalty but divided by differing agendas. Notable picks include Matt Gaetz for attorney general and Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence. The new team includes hardliners focused on immigration, such as Tom Homan and Stephen Miller, who plan to increase deportations and border security. This approach may face resistance from Democratic states and some Republican areas reliant on immigrant labor. Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will lead a cost-cutting initiative, aiming for significant government spending reductions. However, Trump's past budget deficits and promises to protect Social Security and Medicare may complicate these efforts.
