After election victory
Trump celebrates gala with government candidates and celebrities
Candidate parade: At his estate in Florida, Donald Trump celebrates at a gala with followers he wants to bring into his future government. And with a few other dazzling guests.
US President-elect Donald Trump celebrated his own election victory with his squad of candidates for the future government. At a gala at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in the state of Florida, various allies were present who the Republican wants to place in high-ranking positions in his government. These included the declared anti-vaxxer Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whom Trump wants to make health secretary, and the ultra-radical former congressman Matt Gaetz, who will head the justice department in the future.
The controversial ex-MP Tulsi Gabbard, who defected from the Democrats to the Republicans and is to be promoted to intelligence coordinator, was there, as were the tech billionaire Elon Musk and the former Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, who served as external advisers to Trump with the cuts wants to entrust government spending. All of these personal details are very controversial.
Trump joked about Musk that he can’t get him out of his property anymore – that’s how much he likes it there. In fact, Musk can often be seen at Trump’s side at the moment.
Trump announces the next personnel decision live
The former and future president immediately announced the next appointment at the event: the Republican governor of the state of North Dakota, Doug Burgum, will become Secretary of the Interior in his cabinet. Burgum had been discussed during the election campaign as Trump’s possible vice presidential candidate before the ex-president decided on JD Vance.
In the USA, the Ministry of the Interior is primarily responsible for the administration of federally owned land. Internal security is the responsibility of the Department of Homeland Security, which Trump wants to be headed by South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem in the future.
Ministerial positions usually have to be confirmed by the Senate. However, Trump is blatantly putting pressure on his party colleagues in the chamber to circumvent the complex confirmation process there through an exception.
Actor Sylvester Stallone and Argentina’s populist President Javier Milei also appeared at the gala. Since taking office almost a year ago, Milei has taken a firmly right-wing course in foreign policy.
