In the days following President-elect Donald Trump’s historic reelection, he began announcing nominations for both the heads of government departments and the cabinet.

The air has been ripe with anticipation about whom Trump will name to be part of his administration and the president-elect has been taking advantage of the anticipation. He revealed the picks in a manner that conjured up impressions of his days on “The Apprentice.”

Most notably, he named Susie Wiles as his White House chief of staff, Pete Hegseth as the secretary of defense, Matt Gaetz as attorney general, Tulsi Gabbard as director of national intelligence, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as head of health and human services and tasked Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy with the creation and running of the Department of Government Efficiency.

Given the scope of this column, it is impossible to comment on each name. Notably though, not only was Wiles responsible for co-chairing Trump’s election campaign and a beloved member of his staff, but she will also be the first woman to the office of White House Chief of Staff.

It’s a curious choice considering how much leftists love to smear Trump as a sexist.

For example, Mark Cuban, American businessman and television personality, hilariously made a similar claim.

“You never see him around strong, intelligent women. Ever,” Cuban said. “It’s just that simple. They’re intimidating to him. He doesn’t like to be challenged by them.”

This statement makes Cuban look even more foolish considering Trump appointed Gabbard as well.

The greatest insight we can garner from Trump’s picks is that he seems far more concerned with picking members who are loyal, driven and competent in their fields. He is less concerned with relying on established Republicans in name only who are more loyal to their donors and on foolish “libertarian masquerading as conservative” ideals than they are to the traditions of the nation and the interests of the American people.
