Trump Rejects Pompeo, Haley for Cabinet
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley were reportedly on Trump's shortlist for cabinet positions
The two were considered for roles such as Secretary of State, Defense Secretary, and CIA director
Former President Donald Trump has reportedly rejected former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley for cabinet positions in his potential 2024 administration. The two were reportedly on Trump's shortlist for cabinet positions such as Secretary of State, Defense Secretary, and CIA director.
According to sources close to Trump, he has decided not to appoint either Pompeo or Haley to his cabinet because he believes they are not loyal enough to him. He is also said to be concerned that they would be too independent and would not always follow his orders.
Pompeo and Haley are both seen as potential challengers to Trump in the 2024 Republican presidential primary. Pompeo has been critical of Trump in the past, and Haley has said that she is considering running for president.
Trump's decision not to appoint Pompeo or Haley to his cabinet is a sign that he is not afraid to surround himself with people who disagree with him. He is also willing to put his own personal interests ahead of the interests of the country.
Trump's decision is likely to be met with mixed reactions. Some Republicans will be pleased that he is not appointing potential rivals to his cabinet. Others will be concerned that he is not surrounding himself with the best and brightest people.
