President-elect Trump is gathering allies and supporters of his MAGA movement and America First agenda to overturn the nation's capital.

The current president is placing a lot of emphasis on loyalty as he makes increasingly provocative choices for his top cabinet appointments.

Unlike eight years ago, when the first-time politician first took control of the White House, he is not interested in hiring establishment types or those who served in his first administration, but in his view, they proved disloyal.

The president-elect has announced that Rep. Matt Gaetz, a controversial conservative lawmaker from Florida, will be his nominee for attorney general. Gaetz has been a staunch supporter of Trump and has repeatedly claimed that the criminal investigations into Trump were "witch hunts."

Trump emphasized that Matt played a crucial role in defeating the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax and exposing alarming and systemic Government Corruption and Weaponization in his announcement, which caused ripples throughout the nation's capital.

After being nominated, Gaetz resigned from Congress before a damaging report by the House Ethics Committee regarding sexual misconduct allegations that he denies.

On Wednesday afternoon, the president appointed Robert Kennedy Jr., a former presidential rival and current advocate, to the position of Health and Human Services Secretary.

After suspending his campaign, Kennedy later endorsed Trump and has since been campaigning with him, emphasizing his plans to improve public health under a potential Trump administration.

Trump announced Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the new Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), stating that Americans have been oppressed by the food and drug industries for too long, who have spread false information and misled the public about public health.

Trump selected Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democratic presidential candidate and current Republican campaign surrogate, as his choice for Director of National Intelligence.

Yesterday, Trump announced Pete Hegseth, a combat veteran, Army National Guard officer, and Planet Chronicle Channel host, as his pick for Defense Secretary.

Trump announced that Elise Stefanik of New York was his choice to be the ambassador to the United Nations, stating that she is a "strong and very smart America First fighter" who was the first Member of Congress to endorse him and has consistently been a staunch advocate.

Trump referred to former Rep. Lee Zeldin of New York, whom he intends to appoint as Environmental Protection Agency administrator, as a "true champion of America First policies."

Trump named Noem, a conservative firebrand and MAGA-world star who has long been a fierce Trump ally and supporter, as his choice for Homeland Security secretary.

Stephen Miller, the architect of the first Trump administration's hard-line policy on immigration and border security, will work with Noem as his incoming deputy chief of staff for policy.

The president-elect has appointed Thomas Homan, who was the acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement director during the first administration and was known for implementing controversial immigration policies, as his incoming "border czar."

Trump selected Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida as his pick for Secretary of State.

Despite being a competitor to Trump during the heated 2016 Republican presidential election, Rubio has since become a close ally of the president in the Senate.

Trump appointed Rep. Michael Waltz of Florida as his national security adviser. Waltz, a former Army Green Beret, has been a loyal Trump supporter.

Dan Eberhart, a prominent Republican donor and bundler who raised big bucks for Trump's 2020 and 2024 campaigns, stated that Trump's current situation is vastly different from when he first won the White House eight years ago.

"Eberhart stated that Trump has a stronger mandate due to winning the popular vote and all seven swing states. He also believes that Trump knows what he wants and is skilled at getting what he wants from Washington. As a result, he expects Trump to have a more cohesive and MAGA team that can accomplish more."

An anonymous strategist close to Trump's political circle revealed to Planet Chronicle that Trump's team this time around consists of individuals who share his America First agenda, rather than a diverse group of rivals with differing ideologies.

According to Matt Mowers, a seasoned Republican consultant and 2020 GOP congressional candidate in New Hampshire who previously worked on Trump's 2016-2017 transition and served in the first Trump administration, Trump has made the decision that everyone must be aligned.

Mowers stated that the person he is referring to is selecting a large number of individuals who will not only reverse the Biden administration's policies but also aim to dismantle the bureaucracy, which this individual refers to as the "deep state."

The president-elect appears to be icing out those whom he feels have not shown their loyalty to him.

Trump revealed on social media that he would not invite Nikki Haley, who served as U.N. ambassador in his first administration, and Mike Pompeo, who was CIA director and later Secretary of State, to join his incoming cabinet.

In the 2020 Republican presidential primaries, Haley ran against Trump and emerged as his final opponent in a contentious nomination battle. This week, Haley announced that she was not seeking a position in the second Trump administration.

Before deciding not to run for president in 2024, Pompeo seriously considered launching his own campaign.

Both politicians eventually endorsed Trump this year, following the primary season.

A source close to Trump's political circle revealed to Planet Chronicle that the president-elect has no plans to provide a platform for anyone with future presidential aspirations other than JD Vance.
