**Trump Reveals Key Appointments to Upcoming Administration**

President-elect Trump announced significant appointments to his White House staff on Friday, including the elevation of his campaign spokesman to a top communications role. Steven Cheung has been named assistant to the president and director of communications. This marks a return for Cheung, who previously served as communications director for the Trump-Vance campaign and as the White House director of strategic response during Trump’s first term.

Another notable addition is Sergio Gor, who will take on the role of director of the presidential personnel office. Gor, known for his role in the pro-Trump political action committee Right For America, is also a close associate and business partner of Donald Trump Jr. Additionally, Gor has previous experience working in the office of Republican Senator Rand Paul.

In a statement, Trump expressed his enthusiasm for the new appointments: “Steven Cheung and Sergio Gor have been trusted advisors since my first Presidential Campaign in 2016, and have continued to champion America First principles throughout my First Term, all the way to our Historic Victory in 2024. I am thrilled to have them join my White House, as we Make America Great Again!”

Several other significant appointments have been made, including Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Rep. Mike Waltz, R-Fla., as national security adviser, and Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., as secretary of state. Tesla CEO Elon Musk and former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy are expected to lead the newly-formed Department of Government Efficiency.

A particularly controversial move is the selection of Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., as attorney general. Additionally, campaign surrogate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been nominated to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.

These appointments reflect Trump's commitment to surrounding himself with loyal allies, a shift he has openly acknowledged as crucial following his previous term. “The biggest mistake I made was I picked some people that I shouldn’t have picked,” Trump said last month on "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast, indicating that loyalty is now a significant consideration in his selection of top officials.
