    Trump campaign quietly distances itself from RFK Jr after new vaccine safety comments
    Republicans concerned former independent candidate would struggle to make it through security clearance for top government role

    Scramble for Cabinet places

    Separately, Tom Cotton, the Arkansas senator, reportedly ruled himself out of contention as CIA director or defence secretary despite being seen as a top contender for those positions.

    Mr Cotton, a veteran of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, will instead remain in the Senate, where he is a slim favourite to become the GOP conference chairman, sources told Axios. If elected on Wednesday, it would make the 47-year-old the third-ranking Republican in the Senate.

    Mike Pompeo, who served as secretary of state in the first Trump administration, could return in his old role but has also been touted as a future defence secretary.

    Another potential secretary of state is Richard Grenell, the former US ambassador to Germany and a Trump loyalist, who is said to have advised the Republican on foreign policy during the campaign.

    Bill Hagerty, the Tennessee senator and former ambassador to Japan, and Robert O’Brien, Mr Trump’s former national security adviser, are also seen as contenders for the role.

    Sources close to Mr Trump have said that he wants to staff his national security team, which will be tasked with ending the wars in Ukraine and Gaza, with businessmen and chief executives rather than military figures.

    The Republican appointed a number of three and four-star generals during his first administration, referring to them affectionately as “my generals” before their relationship spectacularly fell apart.

    Among those figures was John Kelly, Mr Trump’s longest-serving chief of staff, who made headlines in the closing days of the election campaign by characterising his former boss as a “fascist” who admired Adolf Hitler.

    However, Mr Trump also clashed with his first secretary of state Rex Tillerson, the former chief executive of ExxonMobil, who privately referred to the Republican as a “f---ing moron”.

    Elon Musk, who was praised as a “new star” and “amazing guy” by Mr Trump on Tuesday, is expected to be handed a key administration role.

    The president-elect has previously said he plans to install the Tesla billionaire, who has called for the federal budget to be slashed by $2 trillion, as the head of a new government efficiency commission.

    Appointments to the cabinet will need to be confirmed by the Senate, which the Republicans have regained control of following Tuesday’s election.

    GOP dominance will make it easier for the incoming president to steer through more controversial picks like Mr Musk or Mr Kennedy, should he choose to do so.

    Marco Rubio, the Florida senator, told CNN on Wednesday he expected the Senate to show “great deference” to Mr Trump following his “stunning” victory.

    However, a GOP senate aide told Politico that the president-elect would “still have to earn every vote” despite his “good margin”.

    The Republicans currently have 52 seats in the Senate – a majority of two, which could rise to four when races in Pennsylvania and Nevada are called.

    The Senate is traditionally a more independent-minded body than the House of Representatives, and includes Republican figures such as Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska who have defied Mr Trump in the past.

    Nobody can expect Trump to be all principles and no murky deals in the background.

    But as many pointed out. Trump in 2024 knows what it means to be in power which he was clueless about in 2016. It makes a huge difference. I hope he ditches ALL neocons.

    I mean I get what this is supposed to be saying but on average businessmen actually have less concern for their employees than generals do.

    I still don't buy it. A multi-billionaire real estate mogul was clueless about being in power? He spent four years not knowing how things work in DC and then only figured it out in mid-2024 on the campaign trail? Either he really is a moron, or he lied on the campaign trail, and I don't know which is worse.

    I can kinda see how it might make sense. Back in 2016 I think he ran for President just for the sake of running for President. I don't know if he thought he might actually win, but I don't think he was actually aiming to achieve anything besides "Winning".

    I can certainly see how it might take someone 4 years to develop an ideological compass, especially considering the witch hunts and then covid distractions.

    It is of course entirely possible that he learned nothing and he's the exact same guy from 2016. We'll see on Day 1 what happens.
    It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.

    Lutnick doesn't belong on the transition team. He's only there because he's a throwback from Trump's early years in New York.
    Lutnick is the one to worry about... but he is also a close and old friend of Don, so, it is what it is.

    Chimping out over rumors and one idiot who isn't in charge babbling is normally quite foolish, with Trump it is doubly so.
    How many times has this kind of nonsense gone around and people lost their minds only for it to be complete nonsense?
    Remember when Haley was supposedly going to be his VP? I remember.

    Trump has already announced his new chief of staff is a DEI hire, the first ever woman to hold that position.
    There is nothing to fear from globalism, free trade and a single worldwide currency, but a globalism where free trade is competitively subsidized by each nation, a continuous trade war is dictated by the WTO, and the single currency is pure fiat, fear is justified. That type of globalism is destined to collapse into economic despair, inflationism and protectionism and managed by resurgent militant nationalism.
