Although I liked Chris Miller and Allen West, if Hegseth is good enough for Pres. Trump, he’s good enough for me. Looking forward to see the new Cabinet at work.
Now then — what positions haven’t yet been named?
The best role for West is to be returned to the Army with a 3-rank bump to major general. Then put him in charge of the people who pushed him out of the Army in the first place.
Well don’t forget there are the individual service secretaries - SecNav, SecArmy,SecAF...I could see West as SecArmy. Note these aren’t considered cabinet positions.
There are 15 executive department cabinet positions: Secretaries of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Education, Energy, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, Housing and Urban Development, Interior, Labor, State, Transportation, Treasury, and Veterans Affairs, and the Attorney General.
In addition there are White House Chief of Staff, the US Ambassador to the United Nations, the Director of National Intelligence, and the US Trade Representative, as well as the heads of the Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Management and Budget, Council of Economic Advisers, Office of Science and Technology Policy, and Small Business Administration.
Making a total of 24 on the cabinet. He’s adding the DOGE job for Musk, and it sounds like Vivek R. as well will be involved there.
I’m curious who he’ll be combining some of these and eliminating cabinet positions. For example I could see Interior including AG, HUD, HHS, EPA (though he’s already appointed here), and Education. Could see some like Small business and Science & Tech policy moving under Commerce. A few others, but those would be the biggies I can think of.
Now then — what positions haven’t yet been named?
