“Together, these two great Americans will chart the course for my administration to dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excessive regulations, cut unnecessary spending, and restructure federal agencies,” the president-elect said in a statement, ensuring that these two allies in his campaign would “send shockwaves through the system.”
He even compared it to the “Manhattan Project of our time,” named after the American research and development program during World War II to create the atomic bomb.
It’s been weeks since Donald Trump announced that the boss of Tesla, SpaceX and
“I can’t wait for Elon and Vivek to make changes in the federal bureaucracy”
If the three wealthy businessmen come to a lasting agreement, they could make 2,000 billion dollars in clear cuts in a federal government budget of 6,500 to 7,000 billion.
“I look forward to Elon and Vivek making changes in the federal bureaucracy, with a vision for efficiency and, at the same time, to improve the lives of all Americans,” praised Donald Trump. “It is important that we clean up the waste and mass fraud in government spending of $6.5 trillion. They will work together to free our economy and hold the United States government accountable to “WE THE PEOPLE.”
He gave MM. Musk and Ramaswamy until July 4, 2026 for the first world power to adopt a “smaller government” which would be “a perfect gift to America for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence” of July 4, 1776 .
The casting of the future Trump administration
The Republican is moving forward to appoint loyalists to key positions.
- Marco Rubio as Secretary of State
After having appointed three of his lieutenants to the UN, Environment and Immigration, the ex-president should also announce the appointment of the influential senator Marco Rubio to the post of Secretary of State. Known for being a supporter of a very hard line against China and Iran, this 53-year-old elected official previously co-chaired the Intelligence Committee in the Senate.
Opposed during the 2016 Republican primaries, Donald Trump and Marco Rubio exchanged schoolyard jokes. But the two men seem to have since buried the hatchet.
His upcoming appointment, reported by American media, risks giving kyiv a cold sweat: Marco Rubio estimated at the beginning of November that it was necessary to “end” the war in Ukraine, in an “impasse” according to him.
- Mike Waltz at National Security
Another “hawk” – and another elected official from Florida –, Mike Waltz, was appointed to the very strategic position of National Security Advisor to the White House.
Marco Rubio and Mike Waltz would therefore become the main architects of Donald Trump’s foreign policy, who promised to end the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, without ever explaining how.
- A Fox News anchor at Defense
Donald Trump also announced that he intended to appoint as Minister of Defense Pete Hegseth, a former major in the American army who is now a presenter on Fox News, the favorite channel of conservatives in the United States.
- Mike Huckabee as Ambassador to Israel
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, a former Baptist pastor who defends Israeli colonization of the Occupied Palestinian Territories, has also been appointed to the post of ambassador to Israel. And the former ultraconservative elected official John Ratcliffe at the head of the CIA.
- Kristi Noem at Homeland Security
Beyond the diplomatic aspect, the president also appointed Governor Kristi Noem, a faithful among the faithful, to lead the Ministry of Internal Security, responsible for customs and border guards. Once considered for the vice-presidency, her ambition was dampened when this sulphurous governor of South Dakota revealed that she had shot and killed her young dog, because she was, according to her, “indomitable”, sparking a deluge of criticism.
- John Ratcliffe to head the CIA
Donald Trump announced Tuesday his intention to appoint former elected official John Ratcliffe to head the CIA. “He will be a fearless defender of the constitutional rights of all Americans,” the president-elect said in a statement.
