So it's been an interesting couple of days now in the formation of Donald Trump's cabinet.

And I think we're getting a clearer picture of what he intends to do with all of these choices.

Obviously, the reaction among elected Republican circles to some of these people being named as ranged from the

exuberant to sort of skeptical to truly head-scratching. And I think in one obvious case, there's

been some outright discussed from some of the Senate members.

But what's emerging now, I think, tells us what Donald Trump is really trying to do here.

And it's more interesting and transformative and consistent, I think, than what people may be appreciating.

If you listen to the media, basically, they're approaching this by saying he's engaged in some kind of chaotic punditry poll or something along those lines, that he's picking people based on just, you know, who he sees on TV or who he feels like owe him the most things and just, you know, he's stacking things with loyalists and like.

It's very odd to not stack a cabinet with loyalists.

Of course, that's who you put in these positions.

But I do think that there's something interesting going on here.

And it obviously is a break with the historical approach that's been used with some cabinets,

including, by the way, President Trump's first term, which saw a number of people named

who perhaps were

more experienced in certain areas, who actually turned out to be not really up to the task

at hand.

Cabinet and top officials are often drawn from a pool of experienced politicians.
