Trump picks loyalists to be in his administration
Only those super-loyal to President-elect Donald Trump are getting jobs in his cabinet. There will be no place for irritating generals who think they know better about national security issues. Not this time around. Trump regretted his choice of generals the last time, so he won't be making that mistake again. Now it's people he knows he can trust to do what he wants them to do. Marco Rubio is actually not a bad choice for secretary of state. He has long experience in international affairs and intelligence issues. After a brief spasm of disloyalty to Trump when he was standing for president himself he has come round to being a devoted follower, and Trump shouldn't have any trouble with him,. Likewise, his nomination of Representative Mike Waltz as his national security adviser, goes along the same lines. Total loyalty to Trumpism, fully signed up to Trump's foreign policy style. Trump's selection of defence secretary isn't clear yet but I'd bet a thousand dollars it won't be a retired four-star general.
