America needs reform, and that’s what the people voted for when they elected Donald Trump. Now, his picks for cabinet positions are under attack by the Washington, D.C. barnacles who fear the changes Trump will bring and who seek to slow his agenda. Erick Mack of Newsmax reports that former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich has called Trump’s picks “the most reform-oriented Cabinet” in his lifetime. Mack writes:
President-elect Donald Trump is putting together “the most reform-oriented Cabinet” in the “lifetime” of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, who expects leftist and even some establishment efforts to “destroy” Trump’s pick for defense secretary — Pete Hegseth.
“I’m watching President Trump create the most reform-oriented Cabinet in my lifetime,” Gingrich told “The Cats Roundtable” on WABC 77 FM-N.Y. on Sunday morning.
The disruptor nominees are long needed to conduct “a complete overhaul” at the Pentagon, Gingrich told host John Catsimatidis, adding that the choices for director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard, secretary of state, Marco Rubio, and Hegseth would make an “amazing team.”
But Trump’s Cabinet picks are going to face potentially historic obstruction, particularly in Hegseth, according to Gingrich.
“It’s going to take enormous courage and resilience on the part of Pete Hegseth to survive over there because the whole old order is going to try to destroy him,” Gingrich warned. “I’ve been actively involved in thinking about and working on defense for an extraordinarily long time: And I can tell you, the building needs a very complete overhaul.”
All of the three- and four-star generals should be sent out and given retirement papers, a source told Gingrich.
“I had one senior person in the military who retired, who was working with Trump, who said he would recommend the president have every three and four star general retire — and then go down to two stars to pick a whole new generation of leaders,” Gingrich said.
“He thinks between Obama and Biden, the whole system has just been undermined and corrupted.”
Trump is reportedly weighing an executive order to conduct external reviews of U.S. military generals — potentially having them interview to keep their jobs in the Pentagon that might lead to their dismissals after the deadly Afghanistan withdrawal and wars raging in Ukraine and the Middle East.
