Trump builds cabinet of loyal Florida supporters as critics raise concerns

President-elect Donald Trump is forming a cabinet filled with loyal supporters from Florida, his home state. This includes notable figures like former Congressman Matt Gaetz as Attorney General and Susie Wiles as Chief of Staff. Critics argue these choices favor personal connections over qualifications. Trump's selections reflect his close ties to Florida, where he has built a strong political base. Some appointments, like Gaetz, have raised eyebrows due to their controversial backgrounds and lack of experience. Supporters claim these individuals are committed to advancing Trump's agenda. The cabinet's composition has sparked debate, with some GOP members expressing surprise at Gaetz's nomination. Critics warn that these appointments could damage Florida's reputation nationally, as they associate the state with Trump's more extreme political choices.
