Kennelly: Trumps Ambitious Second Term

In just two weeks, Trump has announced most of his important Cabinet nominations.  All of them want to fix the government, cut it down to size and end the lobbyist, special interest control of the White House and Congress.  The first hundred days will be filled with the announcement of agencies closing, the none spending of corrupt money allocated by Biden, a military that is really a military not a social experiment.

It is even possible to see Mayors and other elected officials, that try to protect illegal aliens arrested for violating Federal law.

We are witnessing a total transformation of our government.  The next step is to work for 2026 to solidify our gains.

Trump has been appointing these men in record speed. Compared to his first term Trump did not announce who would be in his cabinet until several weeks after he was elected. He did not announce that Rick Tillerson would be Secretary of State nor that James Mattis would be the Secretary of Defense until December 2016. Likewise, Biden did not announce much of his cabinet until December 2020.

Trump has also selected women to very powerful positions. He became the first president to appoint a women to be chief of staff in Susie Wiles and he selected Karoline Leavitt as the youngest-ever press secretary.

Trump’s quick appointment announcements and the long agenda that he hopes to accomplish during his administration mean that he will likely have an effective presidency. On the foreign front, Trump has already promised to end the Ukraine war on day one and hopes to stop the Hamas-Israeli war as well.
