Donald Trump’s tumultuous government project has already led to arguments in his inner circle, according to Axios. Nyheitstenesta writes that Elon Musk and Trump adviser Boris Epshteyn both want to have their proposals considered when the next president of the United States will choose his new government.

Some of the nominees, such as Musk and Robert Kennedy Jr., we have visited before. But things have happened since the last time. Trump’s defense lawyer for attorney general After Republican representative Matt Gaetz withdrew from the race for attorney general, Trump nominated Pam Bondi in his place. Bondi was one of Trump’s defense lawyers the first time he was impeached by the Senate, and was acquitted. She was left representing Trump when his campaign falsely claimed that the 2020 election was rigged by Joe Biden and the Democrats. Pam Bondi has been nominated as Minister of Justice, after Matt Gaetz withdrew from the race.

Not now anymore. Swipe right to see some of the nominations we already know about: AFP Elon Musk Nominated to run the Ministry for Effective Governance, abbreviated “Doge”, together with businessman Vivek Ramaswamy.

Trump also wants Linda McMahon as Secretary of Education. She is known to many as the former head of the wrestling organization WWE. According to CNN, she was first considered as the new Secretary of Commerce, a position Trump has singled out Howard Lutnick for. Linda McMahon is the former head of the wrestling organization WWE, which she founded with her husband Vince McMahon. Photo: SHANNON STAPLETON / Reuters McMahon is now one of the leaders of the group preparing the transition to the new Trump administration, and she is involved in both support groups and think tanks that work for Trump. Even more from Fox A large group of those selected so far are TV people from the conservative channel Fox News. Trump has close ties to several Fox personalities. A pillar in the election campaign was his on-stage interview with Tucker Carlson, which ended at Fox News in 2023. Carlson has not been nominated for any post. Trump (v) never agreed to more than one presidential debate with his opponent Kamala Harris. But he agreed to an on-stage interview just before the election with former Fox commentator Tucker Carlson. Photo: CHIP SOMODEVILLA / AFP The fact that so many outside politics are allowed to slack off can also mean many new politicians who have worked little in the field in question before. These current and former Fox people have so far been nominated: AFP Dr. Mehmet OzNominated to lead Medicare and Medicaid, the massive federal health services that serve one in three Americans. Oz is a heart surgeon (licensed until 2024), and became famous when he worked on Oprah Winfrey’s talk show program as “America’s doctor”. Later, he started his own program as a diet and lifestyle guru, but has also spread disinformation about Covid treatment, dieting and nutritional supplements. Evan Vucci / AP / NTB Pete Hegseth Nominated for Minister of Defence. The Fox and Friends presenter has a background in the US military, and has no administrative experience. In 2017, Hegseth was accused of sexual assault in a hotel, which became public knowledge after the nomination. His lawyer admits that Hegseth paid a woman to keep quiet about the debt, but denies that he has done what she describes. AP Sean Duffy Nominated for Transport Minister. Duffy is a former presenter for Fox Business and formerly “The Real World” on MTV. He quit his Fox job earlier this month. Unlike many of the other Fox nominees, Duffy has a background in politics. He was a congressional representative for Wisconsin between 2011 and 2019, but has little or no experience in transportation, according to CNN. AFP Mike Huckabee Nominated for Ambassador to Israel. Huckabee hosted a live program on Fox News for seven years. In addition, he has been governor of Arkansas. The office does not necessarily mean control over the US’s Israel policy. But Huckabee is an evangelical Christian, and has been a strong voice in support of Israel throughout his career, saying that “there is no such thing as a Palestinian”, according to CNN. Reuters Tulsi Gabbard Nominated for head of national intelligence. Gabbard was a paid contributor to Fox News until August 2024. She previously represented the Democrats in Congress, but joined the Republican Party to support Trump. If she gets the job, she wants to run the CIA and the FBI, among other things. Opponents believe she has contributed to the spread of conspiracy theories and Russian propaganda, writes the BBC. ANDREW CABALLERO-REYNOLDS / AFP / NTB Tom Homan Nominated for “border manager”. You can read more about Homan further down in the article. Architect of Project 2025 In one of his first interviews as head of the power transfer team, Howard Lutnick, he said there would be “absolutely no one” who had worked on Project 2025 in the new government. This is a 900-page plan, created by the conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation. Russ Vought (h) is one of the architects behind Project 2025. According to the Washington Post, Trump is considering appointing him to the White House’s budget department. Photo: Evan Vucci / AP This proposes legislative changes that dramatically expand the president’s power over the American state apparatus. In addition, it contains policy proposals, such as: Replace bureaucrats with loyal Trump supporters Introduce major tax cuts Ban porn and abortion pills Shut down the Department of Education in the United States Although Trump has stubbornly denied having anything to do with Project 2025, his election has told the new administration a different story. Other nominees mentioned as contributors to the report are: AP Russell VoughtTrump is considering bringing back Vought as head of the White House’s management and budget department, according to several American media. If he gets the job, he will also work closely on Elon Musk’s “Doge” committee, according to Politico. Vought is one of the architects behind Project 2025, and wrote an article which, among other things, argued for more aggressive use of power by the incoming president. AP Tom Homan Nominated as “border manager”. He is the former head of ICE, the federal agency for border enforcement. If he gets the job he is nominated for, Homan says he will prioritize: Deporting illegal immigrants who are a threat to national security Companies that have such immigrants working for them Manuel Balce Ceneta / AP / NTB John Ratcliffe Nominated for CIA director. Ratcliffe is a former representative of Texas in Congress, and was also national intelligence chief for Trump during his first term as president. In this job, Ratcliffe will help “counter the serious threats from China, Russia, Iran and North Korea”, says the head of the House of Representatives’ intelligence committee to the New York Times. AP Brendan Carr Nominated to Hire Federal Communications Commission. Carr wrote an entire chapter in the report Project 2025 about this commission, after being appointed as a member by Trump himself in 2017. Shortly after the nomination was announced, Carr wrote on X: – We must abolish the censorship cartel and re-introduce the rights of freedom of speech for ordinary Americans. AP Pete Hoekstra Nominated for Ambassador to Canada. When Trump was last president, he appointed the leader of the Republicans in Michigan as ambassador to the Netherlands. Now the president-elect says that Hoekstra will be allowed to try again as a diplomat, because he last did a “good job”. – Pete will come again to help me put AMERICA FIRST, Trump continued.
