Trump’s 2025 cabinet picks have made a lot of news—some people support them, while others believe he’s choosing unconventional candidates.
Tulsi Gabbard was appointed as Director of National Intelligence. Once a Democrat, some senators are not happy, stating she has no experience in intelligence. Pete Hegseth, a former Fox host, is now running Defense. If you ever wanted to know what the Pentagon would look like under cable news management, here we are. Marco Rubio slid through as Secretary of State. The Senate unexpectedly confirmed him without much fuss. Russ Vought is the new Office of Management and Budget boss. He’s big on “Project 2025,” which is this overhaul plan. He wants to fire a ton of civil servants, shrink the “deep state,” and basically give the president all the levers. Even some Republicans took a step back when they saw the fine print. And there’s the “Project 2025” crew—like Brendan Carr to head the FCC and John Ratcliffe at CIA.
Loyalty was the main hiring requirement. Not “have you unmatched leadership experience” but “will you absolutely go to bat for Trump?” Many have links to “Project 2025”—a game plan for remaking the executive branch, getting rid of diversity programs, and centralizing power to the president.
Supporters love the shake-up. For critics, it’s like every “disruptor” in America running the store at once. That’s Trump’s approach—big swing, big noise, and everyone’s buckled up whether they ordered this ride or not.
