The left is shocked and complaining about Donald J. Trump’s picks for his new US Presidential Cabinet.

His picks are all conservative Trump loyalists which has the Democrats worried about the changes to come.

Pete Hegseth, a decorated military hero, has been named Defense Secretary.

Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democrat, has been named the head of the Intelligence Department.

Marco Rubio, a conservative Senator, has been named Secretary of State.

RFK Jr. heads the Department of Health and Human Resources

Mike Huckabee, former Governor of Arkansas, TV host and advocate of the fellowship of Christians and Jews, has been named Ambassador to Israel.

RFK Jr. has been named Health and Human Services Department Head.

And the tech giant Elon Musk and former Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy have been named to the new Department of Government Efficiency.

There are many others, and these may be just names to you, but they signify an abrupt change in the direction of government in the next four years under Trump.

Streisand to Stephen  “Late Show” Colbert: “I would move. I can’t live here under an administration [Trump’s] like that.”

Each of the picks will have to undergo Senate confirmation hearings, but now that the Senate and the House of Representatives have a Republican majority, experts think that confirmations will go quickly.

Some of the celebrities who endorsed Kamala Harris for President are vowing to leave the country under a Trump presidency.

But the majority of Americans are satisfied with the results of the election and are looking forward to a change in the political climate of the nation.
