Meanwhile also Elon Musk ('Government Efficiency') and some FOX News guy (Defense) have been put forward as likely nominees for ministerial posts. For now at least, we know there's going to be a 4 year tombola with people being hired as 'the best ever' and fired as 'a big loser' depending on how long they openly stay loyal to Trump (his words basically, loyalty to him personally is more important than good government).

Can't think of anything more efficient than creating a department on government efficiency and nominating not one but two people to lead it.

Well. I'm sure they'll both find things to do that'll make themselves richer, though from what I understand it's more of advising role than an actual cabinet position. 

 

Had hoped that Ramaswamy ended up in the senate. Would certainly make it a more interesting target for the special election.

Matt Gaetz as attorney general is definitively... a choice.

Kyiv could rapidly develop a rudimentary weapon similar to that dropped on Nagasaki in 1945 to stop Russia if the US cuts aid

Ramaswamy lacks any political experience, hence its good for him to not take any political appointments right now. He is still young but highly ambitious and I believe he will eye some position post 2028.

Going to be a lot of people signing up for this.

Another selection that will test if Trump has full control in his own party.
