The former president sees loyalty as a key criterion as he considers a mix of familiar faces and new allies for top positions.

the State Department leadership is likely to be determined from among three contenders: former National Security Advisor Robert O'Brien, Senator Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, and Senator Marco Rubio of Florida.

Former US Ambassador Richard Grenell, who served as Trump's envoy to Germany, has emerged as a leading candidate for national security advisor.
The defense secretary position has drawn three prominent candidates: former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Representative Mike Waltz of Florida, and Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas.

For White House chief of staff, the highest-ranking position within the president's inner circle, veteran political strategist Susie Wiles has emerged as the leading candidate. Wiles, widely credited as the mastermind behind Trump's recent election victory, may be joined in the senior leadership team by former Trump White House official Brooke Rollins, who is also under consideration for the role.

Then appoint them to Cabinet positions. If any of them are remotely qualified for it, appoint them as Federal judges.
Watch Chuck Schumer soil himself. Massively and repeatedly.
Thanks!
In Pompeo’s own book, he admitted that he and Gina Haspel purposely withheld information from Trump. Trump wanted to release the JFK files, and Pompeo told him he shouldn’t.
Lol. Guy is.
Keep Pompeo far far away.
Cotton and, especially, Pompeo are Deep State lackeys.
Rubio is a disaster for State.
The most important position is Attorney General.
Oh, if Pompeo is in, I will be wretching until four years from now.
Surely Trump is not letting him near the WH. To paraphrase Pompeo from years ago.
“We have to bring about Armageddon to bring about the Second Coming of Christ”. (A speech in KS at some religious (IIRC) conference).
A multitude of heinous acts in the years since.
And Rubio who used his RNC credit card for a new driveway at his home.
Apparently, some of us have longer memories than Trump.
Trump’s biggest mistake of his first term was letting Deep State and Never Trump hacks into his administration. I hope he doesn’t make the same mistake again.
Pompeo helped Trump move the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
“Pompeo is Deep State, neocon scum.”
Not so. He never undermined Trump; he did not believe in making strategic policy himself, and served as Trump’s man at the CIA and State. In many different things he and Trump went around the long time CIA/State folks and made policy and negotiaing decisions without them. He was on Trump’s side, not theirs, because he sAw those positions as needing to operate as extensions of the President, not a counterweight.
There are many myths floating around about Pompeo; most not true. I expect both he and Rick Grenell to be in a 2nd Trump admin.
I do that all the time.
*** Kinky Friedman? Unfortunately, he passed away earlier this year. ***
Kinky ran for Sheriff in my County years ago. He got 27 votes, IIRC.
That man has done nothing but continually hide behind others.
McCain is dead so he lost that shield.
Thanks for reminding me whose shields he is hiding behind now.
Nope. Pompeo screwed Trump at State and CIA.
Kinky Friedman? Unfortunately, he passed away earlier this year.
Pompeo always stood by Trump.
RIC Grenell is my first choice for NSA.
Pompeo is a total globalist.
NOPE to Pompeo the DS tool.
