Donald Trump’s second administration has begun to take shape amid fears over extremist appointments and how far right the US will go while Republicans control the White House and probably both chambers of Congress.
The range of names being put forward varies from members of Trump’s inner circle to the world’s richest man, tech mogul Elon Musk. Alongside plutocrats and technocrats are hardline ideologues on immigration and foreign policy and the controversial figure of Robert F Kennedy Jr, a leading vaccine conspiracy theorist.
On Thursday, Trump made his first appointment, naming Susie Wiles, a co-campaign chair, White House chief of staff. Hailing Wiles, 67, as “tough, smart, innovative … universally admired and respected”, Trump reveled in naming “the first-ever female chief of staff in United States history”.
The daughter of an NFL legend, Pat Summerall, Wiles has worked on Republican campaigns since the days of Ronald Reagan. But she faces a thankless task. Chief of staff is a hugely demanding role, both gatekeeper and adviser. ......
Other figures from the first administration are linked to roles in the second. Many have links to Project 2025, a policy planning effort co-ordinated by the hard-right Heritage Foundation that produced the Mandate for Leadership, a 900-page compendium of extreme proposals.....
Rather less wealthy figures likely to hold influence as advisers if not cabinet appointees include Stephen Miller, the far-right immigration hawk; Kash Patel, who ended the first Trump term at the Pentagon; and Johnny McEntee, who went from “body man” to purge-planner in the first Trump White House.
For secretary of defense, Trump is believed to be considering Christopher Miller, the former special forces officer and Project 2025 author whose actions (or lack of them) on January 6 were scrutinized by the investigating House committee.

Hey Guardian
“This is what Democracy looks like”.
As the Babylon Bee pointed out, once the liberal garbage Nazi’s tone down the rhetoric, things will get better in political discourse.
Martin Pengelly might want to check his adult diaper.
Sounds like it might be full...
OOPS. Deplorable garbage Nazi’s
Concerns about Trump appointments being “extreme”.
How laughable.
Hasn’t anyone ever looked at the circus side show freaks that make up the former Biden-Harris administration or the Democrat party in general?
The UK’s Deep State is still wigging out...
Yay!
The Guardian is the newsprint version of Democratic Underground.
It is extreme left, and not to be taken seriously.
Elections have CONSEQUENCES! In this case, great ones!
I’d take the UK’s Deep State very seriously.
Do you know where Tommy Robinson is right now.. ?
“extremist appointments”
That’s right and there’s not a DAMNED THING you can do about it.
“Extremist appointment” like trans folk, Trump supporter hating FEMA officials, and criminal allowing border “security”
officials.
However i CAN see how they would see Trump’s appointees as extremists, doubt any of them will have pronouns other than MR., MRS., or Miss.
extremist
nazi
hitler
fascist
garbage
Yeah, keep doing that same thing and expect for dems to ever win again.
The majority of people are done with it.
aka “The Grauniad”, for their many uncorrected typos. :)
The hate goes on. I stopped reading at this point.
In what millennium do you expect that to happen?
Maybe The Guardian should just call them garbage appointments.
...And from a foreign country we smashed once ;-)
“Concerns about Trump appointments being “extreme”.

I don’t think Rachael Levine has to worry about being topped.
