Trump Goes Full MAGA: Appoints Loyalists Amid Power Grab Concerns

Nov 18, 2024, 11:10 AM

Following his victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, President-elect Donald Trump is assembling his second administration by appointing allies and loyalists, in a move described as going 'full MAGA'. These appointments have raised concerns among observers who view them as unqualified and part of a broader power consolidation effort, with some stating that 'all these appointees are meant to bolster Trump's effort to lay waste to the officials and institutions that he has come to despise or regard as threats to his power or person.' Additionally, New York prosecutors are expected to outline how Trump's ongoing criminal case will proceed in light of his election victory.
