CNN Analysis: Why Trump wants to outrage Washington with his shock and awe choices in the cabinet

Salos in the horrors and horrors on the planet have caused his choices for persons who want to staff his new government. Donald Trump’s “shock and awe” options for his new cabinet in the U.S. have caused the aversion of some Republican senators and shock in Washington, as well as across the planet, CNN reports, in an extensive analysis. But it really shouldn’t, because rage is the thing, it appreciates the American medium. The elected president of the United States exceeded every level, announcing on Wednesday (13.11.2024) him – one of his most extreme supporters, who, like him, had once been investigated by the Justice Ministry – for the position of attorney general. Talsie Gabbart, the once Democratic candidate for the presidency, who now shares Trump’s belief that the intelligence community has been used as a weapon against him, will be the , if confirmed as director of the U.S. Intelligence Agency. Talcy Gabbart The latest options for Trump’s “team” caused such turmoil that almost overshadowed the highly controversial selection of Fox News presenter on Tuesday night. Fox News presenter Pete Hegseth But they are perfectly in line with Trump’s election promises and political plan, CNN reports. The disappointment that overwhelms the elites, contrasts with the euphoria that is maintained increased in conservative networks and social media among Trump’s followers. The elected president draws political power from his position as an underdog, and if his options are confirmed by the Senate – with a huge “if” valid in Gage’s case – they will be tasked with marginalising those Trump considers enemies. Trump won the election and has orders for change. These and other options are evidence of an elected president who is increasingly powerful and cares little about critics warning that his second term is a threat to the rule of law. Extreme Troll Short-lived former communications director of Trump’s first term of office, Anthony Scarmucci, told CNN’s Jake Tapper that the elected president’s staff choices were deliberately aimed at becoming “sirs of the liberals”. Paraphrased Trump’s intention, he added: “Let’s choose some people who scandalize. And these are such people.” Pennsylvania Democratic Senator, John Fetterman, agreed, saying “It’s something like a kind of god, a kind of trolling, just to cause the mess.” Gets – who was under investigation by the House of Representatives Ethics Committee – resigned from Congress Wednesday in the wake of Trump’s announcement. The committee, which examined the claims that it was “participating in sexual scandal and illegal drug use, accepted inappropriate gifts, shared special privileges and favors to individuals with whom he had a personal relationship and tried to prevent government investigations into his behavior” – was to meet this week to vote on the publication of a report, possibly as early as Friday, broadcast CNN. But with Gage’s departure, it’s not clear whether the information will ever be made public. The Republican from Florida has repeatedly denied any violation, including sexual contact with a minor or payment for sex. The Justice Department, which had conducted a long-term investigation into sexual crimes against him, finally decided last year not to prosecute against Gage. Millions of voters of the elected president agree that his own legal problems are not the result of criminal offences but of multiannual targeting by the Ministry of Justice. They believe that the investigation into Russia during his first term was prepared by the intelligence to destroy him. Trump’s voters want entire layers of government bureaucrats fired, believe regulations contribute to their own economic problems, worry about millions of border crossings by undocumented immigrants and oppose Pentagon diversity programs. Trump is the factor in their change. And his lightning choices for top government positions are his lieutenants in this effort. Hegsheth, Gets and Gabbart raise questions about Trump’s motives and the direction of his second rule beginning on January 20, not only because of their professional, moral qualities or lack of them. Trump’s looking for a attorney general to ensure justice? If so, would he choose Gage, who was under investigation? But the President-elect’s intentions were clear in announcing his intention to propose him: “Some issues in America are more important than ending the party exploitation of our justice system”. Trump’s statement seems to play with his long-term ambition to find a general prosecutor who will defend him and target his enemies. Getss was one of Trump’s main supporters of efforts to overturn the 2020 election result and has called for the abolition of the FBI, the Ministry of Justice and other agencies, unless they were “subjugated”. In this light, Gage’s choice is more like a gesture of contempt for the Ministry of Justice, prosecutors working there and the rule of law. “This is an outrageous choice. There is no way to avoid it,” CNN legal analyst Elie Honig, former U.S. assistant prosecutor, told CNN International. The news that Hegseth had been selected to lead the Pentagon shocked Washington the night before Gage’s choice and raised similar questions about Trump’s motives. Fox News presenter has a military record characterized by bravery after serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. But he has little experience in high-level strategy, international diplomacy and national security usually required by the leaders of the planet’s strongest army. Therefore, he is in danger of being inferior to circumstances in a phone call with one Russian or Chinese Defence Minister, if he is called to defuse a sudden crisis. But Hegseth’s years in Fox prove he is qualified to lead a cultural war within the Ministry of Defence, given his conviction for the diversity programs, women serving in battle and Trump’s support for the release of service personnel charged with war crimes. Gabbart also has a distinguished military record. But it seems that he was chosen to lead the Intelligence Agency due to her suspicion of the secret community, as Trump seeks to clean up what he calls “corrupt factors”, which he considers to be non-believers. Among the many conflicts of former Hawaiian MP with the American intelligence community are her doubts that Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad was guilty of war crimes after an attack with chemical weapons. And he was accused of “packaging” false propaganda by the main opponent of America’s espionage, Russia. Not all Trump’s choices are controversial. Marco Rubio Florida Senator Marco Rubio, his choice for the foreign ministry, has caused skepticism about his conversion from Trump’s “America First” doctrine, but many of his fellow senators consider him a serious thinker in foreign policy matters, especially as far as China is concerned. And the elected president has earned the right to choose who he wants to help him fulfill his mandate. Reactions and anxiety On Wednesday night in Washington there was a growing feeling that, at least with Gage’s choice, Trump may have first exaggerated as an elected president, even with Republicans who usually support him. One of his few criticisms from the Republican Party, Senator Lisa Markovski from Alaska, called the Republican from Florida “non-serious candidate”, when asked by CNN about his chances of confirmation. Maine Senator Susan Collins, another Republican critic of Trump, said she was “shocked” when she heard the news and noted that there would be an extensive FBI background check on the forthcoming appointment. Iowa Republican Senator Johnny Ernst said Gage “will have a lot of work to do”. Gage’s choice created an immediate crisis for South Dakota Senator John Thunn, a few hours after being elected head of Republicans in the U.S. Senate. Thun is certain to be under severe pressure from Trump to ensure Gage is placed in the Ministry of Justice. The New York Times described Gej’s choice as the greatest surprise to date by Trump and as a show of power of the elected president to his own party, which had some hopes that the campaign’s toxicity would not be transferred to government offices as well but was denied. So it seems Trump is passing the Republican majority of the Senate from her first test against a president who thinks he’ll be all-powerful once he’s sworn in.
