Trump reshapes U.S. government with controversial nominations and new initiatives

Donald Trump, recently elected president, is making significant changes to the U.S. government. His nominees for key positions include individuals with controversial backgrounds, raising concerns about their qualifications and loyalty. For example, Trump has chosen Pete Hegseth for the Pentagon, despite past security concerns, and Matt Gaetz for attorney general, who is under investigation. Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democratic lawmaker, is nominated to oversee U.S. intelligence agencies, which could impact international relations. Trump's approach contrasts with the need for government reform. His new department, aimed at improving efficiency, will be led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, but critics doubt its effectiveness. The administration's direction raises questions about the future of U.S. governance.
