The very wellknown antiestablishment donald trump and the pragmatic business dealmaker donald trump. , fairlyo picks established individuals from the world of business, they provide for a form of antiestablishment. They have not served in government previously. They have not served in the white house. To suggest they are bringing a brandnew set of views that reflect some of the deep concerns his supporters have about trade deals, i think that is a row question at this point. They dont reflect the man on the street that we might have expected given the a lot of those people were his backers. We may have some of his supporters look sideways at these appointments that came out today. They are very wealthy individuals. The worldey can see are the eyes of the common man is a question. But they didnt elect a billionaire. Isstill dont know who he going to choose as his secretary of state. This is one of the most important jobs. Is it taking longer because it is so important .

I suspect some of these delays restart, the Transition Team did after the election. A lot of the hard work that went into the rising a relatively short list, they may have started again. Soon. Likely to see this some of this decision comes from the importance of final decision and how this is going to reflect the varied views donald trump has on foreign policy.
