President-elect Donald Trump has announced a controversial cabinet, prioritizing loyalty over experience. Notable appointments include Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as head of the Department 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 about his past controversies and potential Senate rejection. While some appointments, like Marco Rubio as secretary of state, are less contentious, Trump's selections reflect a strategy focused on loyalty. This approach aims to support his agenda of reducing government influence in American lives.
