Speculations About Donald Trump's Cabinet, the Elected President of the United States

Two days after the U.S. presidential election, which resulted in the unexpected victory of Donald Trump, the Republican candidate, speculations have emerged regarding the potential composition of his cabinet. Key cabinet positions such as Secretary of State, Defense, and Treasury are at the height of speculation. Among the candidates for Secretary of State, four names stand out: John Bolton, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and former Deputy Secretary of State; Bob Corker, current Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee; Rudy Giuliani, the Mayor of New York during the September 11 attacks; and Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the House of Representatives. All four are known for their strongly right-wing views on international relations, and they share a hardline stance against the Islamic Republic. John Bolton, Newt Gingrich, and Rudy Giuliani also have warm relations with opponents of the Islamic Republic, particularly the People's Mujahedin of Iran. Rudy Giuliani is also a leading candidate for the important position of Attorney General of the United States. CNN has also mentioned Chris Christie, the Governor of New Jersey and an early rival of Donald Trump in the Republican primary, as another candidate for Attorney General or White House leadership. Ben Carson, a famous American physician and another early rival of Mr. Trump, is also a candidate for either the Department of Health or Education. Mr. Carson was one of the 28 surgeons on the surgical team for Laleh and Ladan, the Iranian conjoined twins, which unfortunately was not successful and led to their deaths. For the Department of Defense (Pentagon), Stephen Hadley and Jim Talent are mentioned. Mr. Hadley was National Security Advisor to George W. Bush, and Jim Talent is a former Republican senator from Missouri. General Mike Flynn is another trusted individual of Donald Trump. However, since he retired a few years ago, his nomination for the Department of Defense would require some form of congressional 'waiver' of existing laws, as current laws stipulate that retired military personnel must wait at least seven years after their service ends before they can be appointed to the Department of Defense. Politico reported that in this case, Mr. Flynn, who was a former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, would be appointed as Mr. Trump's National Security Advisor. Steven Mnuchin, a banker and American millionaire, is mentioned as one of the candidates for the Treasury Department. However, American media have given higher odds to Jamie Dimon, the head of the massive financial services and banking company JPMorgan. Mike Pence, the Republican Governor of Indiana, has previously been appointed as Donald Trump's Vice President. In this context, the Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces stated: Trump has eaten a lot of sugar. Barack Obama described negotiations with Donald Trump in the White House as 'excellent.' Mohammad Javad Zarif stated that Iran has other options if the JCPOA fails. Bernie Sanders did not rule out candidacy in the 2020 presidential election. The changing battlefield of 'proxies'; war against the people in the streets of Iran. The first paragraph; the responsibility of the opposition and the possibility of radicalization of Iranian society. The death of the last Mossad representative in Tehran amid the Iran crisis. Trump: I hope there is no need for further action regarding Iran; they were killing people recklessly. The shadow of war over Tehran; 'Trump is looking for decisive military options against Iran.' The death of the last Mossad representative in Tehran amid the Iran crisis. Trump emphasized 'stopping executions in Iran': we do not know what will happen in the future. Trump says if the Islamic Republic attempts to assassinate him, 'it will be wiped off the face of the earth.'
