Pictured above: Attorney General nominee Jeff Sessions
Now that Donald Trump has been elected, it’s time for him to pick the people he wants to help him run the United States Government. Mr. Trump has started choosing the heads of the departments (they will make up the cabinet), and has also been choosing members for the national security team for his administration. Mr. Trump has recently announced three nominees for his National Security Team. He intends to nominate Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions as attorney general, Kansas Representative Mike Pompeo as CIA director, and retired Army Lieutenant General Michael Flynn as national security advisor. Both Mr. Sessions and Pompeo would “be subject to Senate Confirmation” (cnn), but in the case of Mr. Flynn, “the position of national security advisor is not” (cnn). All three of these people are very different from the members of President Obama’s national security team. Mr. Sessions is most known for his views on immigration, which are similar to that of Mr. Trump. He will be a key factor in building a supposed wall between the United States and Mexico. Mr. Flynn is known for his temper, and his controversial ideas on the links between Islam and Terrorism. Not very much is known about Mr. Pompeo. I hope that these men will help make a good national security team, despite their controversial views. I also noticed that all three of these people are men, and none of them are women. I wonder if Mr. Trump will nominate any women to serve on this security team, and in his cabinet.
