This R&D provides resources on Donald Trump establishing his presidential cabinet. Trump has already named a attorney general, treasury secretary, commerce secretary, education secretary, health and human services secretary, and transportation secretary, among other positions. Critics argue that the cabinet is too conservative, while some of Trump’s more conservative supporters wonder if the picks are too moderate. All cabinet picks will have to be confirmed by the U.S. Senate after Trump takes office.
