Trump: Haley, Pompeo Will Not Be Part of My Administration

Trump’s decision to post this update shows a glimpse that he could be giving a second thought to who he will tap for his Cabinet

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump posted on Truth Social Saturday that neo-con warhawks Nikki Haley and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will not be invited to serve in his administration.

“I would like to thank them for their service to our country,” he posted. “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

Trump was widely seen to have won this presidential election by convincing Americans that he could help the average American in their fight with high inflation. Global turmoil ranked relatively low in exit polls, but Trump’s position on these matters remain vague. Both Haley and Pompeo are true neo-cons who want war with Iran and Russia.

Trump’s decision to post this update shows a glimpse that he could be giving a second thought to who he will tap for his Cabinet. But some of the other names that have been mentioned are no better than these two, and include Sens. Marco Rubio and Tom Cotton, both hawks for Israel. Cotton’s favorite joke that he has repeated is identifying Arabs killed by U.S. missiles as “goat-herders.”

Indeed, the Biden administration last year overturned the Trump-era “Pompeo Doctrine” that legalized Israeli land-stealing in the occupied territories.

The Trends Journal has noted that it does not matter what political party is in power in Washington, Israel will continue to get all the support it needs to impose its will on the Palestinians, no matter the human toll.

Aaron Maté, a reporter for The Grey Zone, posted, “Trump going out of his way to announce that Pompeo and Haley won’t be joining his admin suggests that he sees political benefit in leaving behind the neocons who dominated his first term. Hope this is a trend, and not a one-off.”
