Thus, Trumps Cabinet could look
Donald Trump's election victory is only a few hours old, and it is already speculated hotly whom he calls into his Cabinet. A difficult task for the president-elect: the entrepreneur from the business world is not very well-networked in Washington, and has bribed many party colleagues with his aggressive campaign.
It is mostly white men of advanced age, who are called by the US media as favorites for his government team. But also an old acquaintance is on the list:
Newt Gingrich - Foreign Minister
The Politveteran was one of the most prominent trump supporters during the election campaign. Now he is a foreign minister. Gingrich is well connected in Washington, but also controversial. As head of the House of Representatives, he pursued an exceedingly aggressive opposition against President Bill Clinton in the 1990s. While he led the ultimately failed prosecution proceedings against the President for his affair with the intern, Monica Lewinsky, Gingrich himself secretly had an out-of-respect relationship. The 73-year-old has a temperament similar to Trump, and he has also met with it several times during the campaign.
Rudy Giuliani - Minister of Justice
The ex-mayor of New York has supported Trump in the election campaign without reservations. He will be rewarded with the Ministry of Justice. The 72-year-old trumped Trump in the rage against the rival Hillary Clinton - for his wild gesticulating party day appearance he earned much ridicule from the US Comedybranche. For many US citizens, Giuliani has lost his reputation through his alliance with Trump. Because of his success in combating crime in New York and, above all, his courageous commitment after the attacks of September 11, 2001, he was once admired throughout the party.
Sarah Palin - Minister of the Interior
The former third place in the Miss Alaska elections was from 2006 to 2009 governor ebendieses US federal state - and thus the first woman in this office. This time resulted in allegations of abuse of office against the 52-year-old, who also likes to confuse South Korea with North Korea. In the presidential election campaign in 2008, she called the Republican candidate John McCain as a possible vice presidency to his side. She wanted to compete in 2012 but was not nominated by her party. After her time as governor, she worked as a political commentator on the TV and acted as an activist for the tea party movement. Under Trump, she could take over the Ministry of the Interior.
Chris Christie - Trade Minister
The bullish governor of the state of New Jersey had applied for the Presidential candidate of the Republicans. After his exit he joined Trump. Now the 54-year-old leads the transition team, which prepares the change of power in January. Christie is traded for several government offices, including the Trade Minister. He, too, is a hot-head. Christie hangs a scandal about the closure of a bridge - a measure with which he allegedly wanted to punish a mayor who was hostile to him.
Reince Priebus - Stabschef
The Party of the Republicans had the tricky task of sweeping the deep cracks between the candidate and large parts of the party establishment. The 44-year-old criticized Trump occasionally, such as for his women's despising sayings. But at the same time, Priebus always strongly demanded the solidarity of the party with her candidate. The lawyer could now become a trump of the staff. From this key position, he would be a link to Congress. Priebus is a confidant of Paul Ryan, the representative of the House of Representatives.
Jeff Sessions - Secretary of Defense
The arch-conservative senator from the southern state of Alabama has vehemently supported Trump from early on. The member of the Armed Forces Committee is a defense minister. The 69-year-old has been pursuing a rigorous opposition against President Barack Obama over the past few years.
Steven Mnuchin - Finance Minister
The treasurer of the Trump campaign is considered a favorite for the Treasury Secretary. He worked for 17 years for the investment bank Goldman Sachs, later he succeeded as a producer of Hollywood films. The nomination of the man, whose age is not known to the public, (in the case of a Wikipedia, is "circa 1963"), would be a signal that Trump is looking for a close contact with the financial sector, the future president still had furious attacks against the " System ", which meant the interlacing of the political and financial elite.
Michael Flynn - Security consultant
The retired Lieutenant-Colonel ensured that the connections Trumps, who had never served in the army, were strengthened as an important electoral group of veterans. The 57-year-old also brings intelligence from the intelligence service: between 2012 and 2014 he led the military intelligence service DIA. Flynn could become a National Security Advisor.
