In a recent statement on X, Donald Trump announced that two former cabinet members, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley, would not be receiving positions in his second administration.
“I will not be inviting former Ambassador Nikki Haley, or former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, to join the Trump Administration,” the president-elect wrote. “I very much enjoyed and appreciated working with them previously, and would like to thank them for their service to our Country”.
Pompeo had previously served as CIA Director during Trump’s first two years in office, before vigorously leading his administration’s Zionist and anti-China agendas. Haley also labels China as an “enemy” rather than an adversary.
Following Trump’s spectacular comeback from four separate felony criminal cases and accusations of being an agent of Moscow to become the first man to serve non-consecutive terms in the Oval Office since Grover Cleveland after winning all 7 key swing states in the 2024 election, supporters and detractors alike were keenly waiting to see his early cabinet appointments.
Analysts around the political media have generally suggested that a second Trump term will look substantially different than the first one, but only if he avoids making the mistakes he made in the realm of political appointments.
In his interview on The Joe Rogan Experience, Trump said that as a New York figure, he arrived in Washington with an empty Rolledex and the necessity of making 10,000 appointments. Most wouldn’t be directly made by Trump himself, but by the people he would end up appointing.
Before long his cabinet was filled with Neoconservatives who generally fought against his policies from North Korea, to Syria, to Iran. Pompeo wasn’t often on the other side of Trump’s opinions, but whilst the president campaigned on ending wars and making deals, Pompeo never advanced any such aims, and perhaps may have colluded with other officials to prevent Trump from crafting policy aimed at ending the US occupation of eastern Syria, as was admitted by US Special Envoy to James Jeffery after Trump lost the November 2020 election.
Early reports from CNN quoted three people familiar with the matter that Brian Hook will lead Trump’s transitional team for the State Dept. Hook, a top State Department official during the first Trump and Bush Jr. administrations, helped implement Trump’s sanctions campaign on Iran, following his unilateral withdrawal from the Iranian nuclear deal. He was also a key player on the team that negotiated the Abraham Accords, and Zionist media is understandably excited about the potential appointment.
Hook has not been confirmed, and while the same report said that Pompeo could be offered a position, it cited no one suggesting such a thing. Pompeo and Hook are two sides of the same fiat coin of Washington deep state insiders who at times made it so difficult for Trump to pursue any policy of peace or disengagement. Appointing one and leaving the other out to dry won’t create the change the president needs to accomplish any meaningful goals apart from his support for Israel. WaL
