Kennedy Jr.<\/a><\/span> is Trump\u2019s choice to lead the Health and Human Services Department, which Trump\u2019s conservative Christian base has long targeted as an agency where the anti-abortion movement must wield more influence.<\/p>\n<p>Former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich allowed that members of Trump\u2019s slate will not always agree with the president and certainly not with one another. But he minimized the potential for irreconcilable differences: \u201cA strong Cabinet, by definition, means you\u2019re going to have people with different opinions and different skills.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That kind of unpredictability is at the core of Trump\u2019s political identity. He is the erstwhile reality TV star who already upended Washington once and is returning to power with sweeping, sometimes contradictory promises that convinced voters, especially those in the working class, that he will do it all again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat Donald Trump has done is reorient political leadership and activism to a more entrepreneurial spirit,\u201d Gingrich said.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also plenty of room for conflict, given the breadth of <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/donald-trump-wins-second-term-policies-de3dcf0f173b42602b258042fd7aaafb\">Trump\u2019s 2024 campaign promises<\/a><\/span> and his pattern of cycling through Cabinet members and national security personnel during his first term.<\/p>\n<p>This time, Trump has pledged to impose tariffs on foreign goods, end illegal immigration and launch a mass deportation force, goose U.S. energy production and exact retribution on people who opposed \u2014 and prosecuted \u2014 him. He\u2019s added promises to cut taxes, raise wages, end wars in <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/israel-hamas-war\">Israel<\/a><\/span> and <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/russia-ukraine\">Ukraine<\/a><\/span>, streamline government, protect Social Security and Medicare, help veterans and squelch cultural progressivism.<\/p>\n<p>Trump alluded to some of those promises in recent weeks as he completed his proposed roster of federal department heads and named top White House staff members. But his announcements skimmed over any policy paradoxes or potential complications.<\/p>\n<p>Bessent has crusaded as a deficit hawk, warning that the <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-national-debt-inflation-economic-growth-spending-895ec1551122a0e1babf24b657f650bb\">ballooning national debt<\/a><\/span>, paired with higher interest rates, drives consumer inflation. But he also supports extending Trump\u2019s 2017 tax cuts that added to the overall debt and annual debt service payments to investors who buy Treasury notes.<\/p>\n<p>A hedge-fund billionaire, Bessent built his wealth in world markets. Yet, generally speaking, he\u2019s endorsed Trump\u2019s tariffs. He rejects the idea that they feed inflation and instead frames tariffs as one-time price adjustments and leverage to achieve U.S. foreign policy and domestic economic aims. <\/p>\n<p>Trump, for his part, declared that Bessent would \u201chelp me usher in a new Golden Age for the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chavez-DeRemer, Trump promised, \u201cwill achieve historic cooperation between Business and Labor that will restore the American Dream for Working Families.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump did not address the Oregon congresswoman\u2019s staunch support for the PRO-Act, a Democratic-backed measure that would make it easier for workers to unionize, among other provisions. That proposal passed the House when Democrats held a majority. But it\u2019s never had measurable Republican support in either chamber on Capitol Hill, and Trump has never made it part of his agenda.<\/p>\n<p>When Trump named Kennedy as his pick for health secretary, he did not mention the former Democrat\u2019s support for abortion rights. Instead, Trump put the focus on Kennedy\u2019s intention to take on the U.S. agriculture, food processing and drug manufacturing sectors. <\/p>\n<p>The vagaries of Trump\u2019s foreign policy stand out, as well. Trump\u2019s <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><span class=\"Link\">choice for national security adviser<\/span><\/span>, Florida Rep. Mike Waltz, offered mixed messages Sunday when discussing the Russia-Ukraine war, which Trump claims never would have started had he been president, because he would have prevailed on Putin not to invade his neighboring country.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on \u201cFox News Sunday,\u201d Waltz repeated Trump\u2019s concerns over recent escalations, which include President Joe Biden approving <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-ukraine-war-us-embassy-warning-37982f529a53f8da6e551b4116879549\">sending antipersonnel mines<\/a><\/span> to Ukrainian forces.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to restore deterrence, restore peace and get ahead of this escalation ladder, rather than responding to it,\u201d Waltz said. But in the same interview, Waltz declared the mines necessary to help Ukraine \u201cstop Russian gains\u201d and said he\u2019s working \u201chand in glove\u201d with Biden\u2019s team during the transition.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Tulsi Gabbard, <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/trump-gabbard-director-national-intelligence-466dfdfe2f949ea20bc2f4ef13e21438\">Trump\u2019s pick for director of national intelligence<\/a><\/span>, the top intelligence post in government, is an outspoken defender of Putin and Syrian President Bashar al Assad, a close ally of Russia and Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the biggest wildcards of Trump\u2019s governing constellation are budget-and-spending advisers Russell Vought, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. Vought led Trump\u2019s Office of Management and Budget in his first term and is in line for the same post again.
