Trump’s Nominated

Advisers and Directors











The President’s Cabinet is a collective group of presidential advisers and our Nation’s highest agency officials.
Most of the presidential advisers are referred to as secretaries. There are typically fifteen cabinet secretaries whose purpose is to advise the president on issues that impact the American people on a daily basis.
Additionally, President-Elect Trump intends to include advisers unique to his administration that will advise him on means to cut and reduce wasteful spending and to reduce the size of government. The new department is referred to as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Furthermore, the President has the authority to appoint director to our Nation’s largest, most impactful agencies within our country. There are typically ten directors who are agency heads of who range for the Central Intelligence Agency to the Ambassador to the United Nations. They are appointed to their positions to manage their agency and report to the President as request.
Last, but not least, the Chief of Staff is the President’s most senior political appointee, working with the President on a nearly daily basis. The Chief of Staff coordinates and manages cabinet advisers and department head meetings. This is the only top-level position that does not require a Senate confirmation.

President Trump’s Chief of Staff

Susie Wiles
The chief of staff is a political appointee of the president. In other words, she is not required a Senate confirmation.
The responsibilities of a chief of staff are both managerial and advisory. Some of her duties involve directing, managing and oversees all policies development on behalf of the president. She negotiates legislation and appropriating funds with congressional leaders and advises on any and all issues set by the president.

This position is viewed as the most powerful position in the White House. The Chief of Staff is the “command and control” of all things White House for the President.

Secretary of Defense

Pete Hegseth
The Secretary of Defense is the executive department of the U.S. Armed Forces and is a high-ranking member of the President’s Cabinet. His position of command-and-authority over the military is second only to that of the President who is the commander-in-chief. Furthermore, the secretary must be a civilian.
To ensure civilian control of the military, U.S. law clarifies that the U.S. Secretary of Defense cannot have served as an active duty commissioned officer in the military in the preceding seven years. There is a ten year moratorium for generals and admirals.
If confirmed, Hegseth would lead 1.3 million active-duty service members, including soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines, among a total of 3.4 million personnel worldwide. Hegseth may also be responsible for overseeing the use of the military on domestic soil. Trump said that he plans to declare a national emergency and use the military to support mass deportations of illegal immigrants. To clarify the phrase “support of mass deportations” is not inclusive of rounding up illegal immigrants. It is inclusive of transporting out of the country—a support function at which the military is effective of accomplishing.

The Department of
Government Efficiency

The idea of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was embraced by President-Elect Trump after Elon Musk floated the idea of a department for streamlining “government efficiency”. The U.S. Government spending must be controlled!
