Trump’s Potential Administration Officials

Who Are The Top Contenders To Be Part Of A Second Trump Administration?

Donald Trump appears ready to stuff his administration and cabinet with right-wing zealots who will have control over things like education, health care, and our national security. If you thought the first Trump administration was bad, the folks he has in the running for administration roles this time consist of some of his most loyal sycophants who won’t stop until they implement Trump’s distorted vision for America.
