Donald Trump's cabinet will replace the current cabinet under Barack Obama. Trump's nominees will be confirmed on or after January 20, 2017. The United States Senate can of course vote to reject Trump's nominees, should they do so by majority vote.
Reaction from leftists and the media
The Liberal Media has continuously attacked Trump's picks, but this is to be expected, considering their favorite Hillary Clinton lost the election even with their overwhelming support.
Additionally, Senate Democrats unduly delayed Trump's cabinet nominees at historic and unprecedented proportions[1]—by February 8, 2017, only George Washington had fewer cabinet nominees confirmed by this length of time into his presidency.[2]
Conservative orientation
The media noted how conservative President Trump's cabinet was. The mainstream media went hysteric over the credentials of President Trump's cabinet members because they did not come from the leftist political establishment. While the leftist media frequently exaggerates the level of conservativism of various people or groups, their hysteria shows that President Trump's cabinet is conservative.
Newsweek wrote that "Donald Trump is Building the Most Conservative Presidential Cabinet in U.S. history."[3] Other media outlets, such as Politico,[4] the Los Angeles Times,[5] The Hill,[6] and CNN,[7] made similar statements.
President Trump's cabinet is expected to favor deregulation.[8]
