Rudy was with Trump at the Army/Navy game yesterday. They are still good friends from what Rudy says & actions appear to bear those words out. I suspect Trump is going to have a “kitchen cabinet” (a group of unofficial advisers to a political leader, esp when considered to be more influential than the official cabinet) & Rudy & Newt will be sitting around the table often. I personally don’t believe a cabinet post is the only way that Trump has to show appreciation for loyalty.
thanks everyone for the responses. I think you are right. When someone is in your cabinet there is a spot light. Especially for someone as well-known and dynamic as Rudy. It would be better to get informal advice.
Yes, I kitchen cabinet filled with the trusted ones: The kids-including Jarod, Rudy, possibly Newt and others.
