President-elect Donald Trump is assembling his cabinet with key allies from his campaign, including Senator Marco Rubio as a likely pick for Secretary of State.
Other notable appointments include Stephen Miller and Mike Waltz for key White House roles, and Lee Zeldin to lead the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These selections signal Trump's intent to surround himself with loyalists as he prepares for a swift start to his administration.
The appointments are expected to shape the direction of U.S. domestic and foreign policy under his leadership.

Honestly, I’m not surprised. This is just more of the same old cronyism that we see in both parties—filling the government with loyalists instead of people who will actually shrink it. I care less about who’s in charge and more about reducing the size and power of the government itself. Trump’s picks might shake things up, but we need actual downsizing of federal overreach, not just a new set of names at the top.
It’s really concerning that Trump is stacking his cabinet with loyalists rather than qualified experts, especially when you’ve got someone like Lee Zeldin leading the EPA—someone who’s been openly dismissive of climate science. This is a clear sign that environmental protections and progressive policies are going to be rolled back big time. It feels like we’re moving in the exact opposite direction of where we need to be going.
Looks like Trump is stacking his cabinet with corporate cronies and climate deniers, completely ignoring the needs of working people and the environment.
This is a huge red flag for anyone who cares about the environment. Lee Zeldin leading the EPA? He’s got a track record of opposing key climate policies and siding with big corporations. It’s hard not to worry that environmental protections will be rolled back even further under this administration. We need leaders who actually believe in science and are serious about climate change, not more political cronies.
It's great to see Trump surrounding himself with people who actually believe in putting America first. Stephen Miller and Mike Waltz are solid choices who understand the need for strong borders and protecting our national security. Zeldin leading the EPA is a breath of fresh air – finally someone who knows the importance of balancing environmental policies with common-sense regulations that won't kill jobs. Trump is keeping his promises, and I’m excited to see what this team can accomplish!
