Former President Donald Trump has begun the process of selecting his Cabinet members, aiming to carry out his agenda. Trump is reportedly considering using a constitutional clause to appoint Cabinet members without Senate confirmation, which could facilitate the inclusion of unpopular nominees. The early list of nominees has sparked mixed reactions, with some praising the selections as inspired and outstanding, while others criticize them as extreme cronies and reflective of Trump's ego. The U.S. Senate's confirmation process will be a significant test for these nominees.
