Trump appoints controversial figures as he seeks to bypass Senate approval
Former President Donald Trump has appointed several controversial figures to key positions in his administration, including Matt Gaetz, who is under investigation for alleged misconduct, and Tulsi Gabbard, who has made controversial statements about military actions. Trump's choices raise concerns about governance, especially as he seeks to bypass Senate approval for appointments. The Senate will have a Republican majority in January, which could further complicate the political landscape. The recent elections reflect a global trend where incumbent parties were voted out, largely due to economic challenges following the COVID-19 pandemic. This pattern suggests that the political climate may shift again in future elections.
