This is a list of political appointments made by the President of the United States, Donald Trump.
After election day, media outlets reported on persons described by various sources as possible appointments to senior positions in the incoming Trump presidency. Until the Trump Administration announces its official cabinet, this page will continue to be updated with new information and potential positions.
All members of the Cabinet require the advice and consent of the United States Senate following appointment by the President prior to taking office. The Vice Presidency is exceptional in that the position requires election to office pursuant to the United States Constitution. Although some are afforded Cabinet-level rank, non-cabinet members within the Executive Office of the President, such as White House Chief of Staff, National Security Advisor, and White House Press Secretary, do not hold constitutionally created positions and most do not require Senate confirmation for appointment.
Analysis
Due to Trump's lack of government experience and fluid political positions, much interest existed among the media over his cabinet nominations, as they are believed to show how Trump plans to govern.
Certain news organizations, such as Politico and Newsweek, called Trump's incomplete cabinet a "conservative dream team"[1] or "the most conservative cabinet [in United States history]."[2] On the other hand, The Wall Street Journal stated that "it's nearly impossible to identify a clear ideological bent in the incoming president's" cabinet nominations.[3] The Wall Street Journal also stated that Trump's nominations signaled a pro-deregulation administration policy.[4]
Among Donald Trump's appointments there have been several former Goldman Sachs employees, such as Steven Mnuchin, Steven Bannon, and Gary Cohn, as well as several generals, such as Mike Flynn, James Mattis, and John Kelly. These appointments have generated some criticism, including allegations of violations of the principle of civilian control of the military and allegations of regulatory capture.[5][6] The Democratic senator from Missouri, Claire McCaskill, has criticized Donald Trump's cabinet stating; "I call it the three 'G' Cabinet: Goldman, generals and gazillionaires." [7]
On 18 January, two days before Trump's inauguration, it was reported that he had by then nominated only 28 people to fill 690 positions requiring Senate confirmation.[8] In particular, there had been no nominations below the Cabinet level for the departments of State or Defence, and the staff for the National Security Council was incomplete, while none of the NSC leadership had any NSC experience.[9] It was also reported that hundreds of briefing papers had been created by Obama's NSC and sent to Team Trump, but no one knew if they had been reviewed.[10]

Possible candidates for other high-level positions
Vice Chair of the Federal Reserve
There are currently two vacancies on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, formerly held by Sarah Bloom Raskin and Jeremy C. Stein, to which Trump will be able to name appointees. All sitting members were appointed by Barack Obama. The current Fed Chair has a term which expires in early 2018, as does the primary Vice Chair, at which point Trump will be able to replace the holders of both of those roles. (Trump complained about Yellen in particular and the Fed in general during his campaign, but after his election has signalled that he would not push for an early resignation prior to that expiration.[59]) In addition to the primary Vice Chair role, there is also a new (Dodd-Frank) regulatory Vice Chair Of Supervision role,[60] currently unfilled officially (albeit unofficially being held by Daniel Tarullo). It is expected that Trump will fill the two vacant seats, and then name one of those new appointees as Vice Chair of Supervision, during 2017. (He may additionally opt to replace the primary Vice Chair, and/or the Fed Chair, when their terms expire in 2018.) The following names have been mentioned as potential appointees to the board, which is a prerequisite of taking either of the vice chair roles (or the role of the chair). See also, the FOMC membership, which is a superset of the FRB membership discussed here.[61][62][63][64] Although it is considered unlikely given the quasi-independent nature of the Fed, there is a possibility that the composition of the group itself (size and term-lengths and membership) could be directly altered by the Republican-controlled legislative and executive branches during the 2017-2019 session (see Federal Reserve Act), should the five sitting Obama-appointees come into serious conflict with the economic agenda of lawmakers (for instance in 1948 Marriner S. Eccles was replaced as chair by Thomas B. McCabe).[65] During the 2016 campaign, candidates from both parties criticized the Fed's nominal independence from both politics and profit, albeit on different grounds: among other critics, Trump accused it of making economic decisions with an eye to influencing elections, and Clinton wanted to keep members of the banking industry from serving.[66]

Chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers
On February 8, 2017 President Trump outlined the 24 members of the Cabinet with the Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers excluded.[77][78] In addition to the chair, there are two other members of the council (also appointed by the president), as well as a staff of economists, researchers, and statisticians. Historically, appointees to chair the council have held Ph.Ds in economics, and the role of the group is to provide advice in the form of economic analysis with respect to policy, as distinct from shaping economic policy per se.[79][80]
Trump released a list of his campaign's official economic advisers in August 2016,[81] which simultaneously was anti-establishment[82] and therefore lean on those with governmental experience,[83] yet at the same time aimed to include some of the elites of business and finance,[81] people with well-known names. Many of the names on the original list, or on the subsequent expansions thereof,[84] received media attention as potential appointees to the Council of Economic Advisers, or in other Trump administration roles.

Dan DiMicco | Former CEO of Nucor (largest steel producer in the United States),[85] originally backed Walker'16,[86] senior trade advisor to Trump'16,[86] member of the transition landing team for the U.S. Trade Representative portion of the executive branch.[87] Also being considered for Trade Rep, and formerly being considered for Secretary of Commerce.[88] |

Kevin Hassett | Director of Economic Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute[89] |
|
Larry Kudlow | Former host of The Kudlow Report,[90] CNBC commentator, former New York Fed staffer,[79][91] OMB associate director [91][92] under Reagan,[93] former chief economist at Bear Stearns,[91] and transition team member for George W. Bush.[91] As of December 16, 2016, Larry Kudlow was expected to be the nominee for this role, according to one of the other contenders for the role, conservative economist Stephen Moore, but within hours Moore had retracted his statement as "wishful thinking."[91][94] In addition to competing with Kudlow for the position, Moore worked with Kudlow during the Trump'16 campaign on drafting tax policies, and after the retraction Moore said that he was "very hopeful" that Kudlow would eventually be the appointee.[94] Endorsed by Kevin Brady, U.S. Representative from Texas and chair of the House Ways and Means Committee.[95] Kudlow was criticized as a potential pick for the role as being "a TV host with no economic credentials...worrisome to say the least" by moderate Republican journalist Jennifer Rubin of the Washington Post.[96] Despite his support of Trump, and work under Reagan, Kudlow was characterized as an "establishment Republican" by the Wall Street Journal.[97] |
|
Stephen Moore | Founding president of the Club for Growth, chief economist of the Heritage Foundation,[90] on the economic advisory team for Trump'16. Spoke highly of Larry Kudlow (see above) for the role, after putting forth and then quickly retracting the claim that Kudlow was the pick.[94] (The following day, Moore published an editorial on the dangers of making predictions with absolute certainty.[98]) Moore first met Trump in person in 2015, during a campaign stop; despite Moore's overall support of free trade, Trump asked him to join the campaign, and Moore agreed.[83] |

|
Peter Navarro | Professor at the UC-Irvine's business school,[90] economics Ph.D from Harvard, influential member (and only academic[99]) on the economic advisory team for Trump'16,[100] analyzed Trump's economic plan with Commerce-designate Wilbur Ross,[101][102] on transition team,[103] former Democratic candidate in San Diego during the 1990s[100] (then-First Lady Hillary Clinton campaigned with Navarro in 1996),[104] self-described Reagan Democrat.[100] Navarro's view on trade was criticized by the fiscally-conservative libertarian Cato Institute in October 2016 as being too similar to Bernie Sanders.[105] Kudlow (and Moore) generally favor free trade combined with lower taxation and deregulation, whereas Navarro thinks reforming international trade and immigration policy are the keys.[83] Navarro had been in contact with Trump since 2011, but never met with him in person until very late in the 2016 campaign.[106] Navarro is seen as the frontrunner for the chair of the CEA, according to The New York Times.[107] As of December 21, 2016, Navarro was announced as the director of the newly created National Trade Council;[108] it is unclear whether or not this job precludes Navarro from playing a dual role in the CEA (which unlike the NTC requires Senate confirmation). |
Although removed from the Cabinet, the nomination of a Chair-designate, once a choice has been made, is reviewed during hearings held by the members of the United States Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs and then presented to the full Senate for a vote.

Relative pace of Cabinet formation and Congressional approval
While President Trump tweeted on February 7, 2017, dissatisfaction -- "It is a disgrace my Cabinet is not yet in place, the longest such delay in the history of our country"—the assertion was ruled false by the BBC based on a detailed review of the last five administrations. The analysis found more room for a general complaint of slowness in Congressional action and that the administration "has by far the fewest confirmed cabinet selections at this point" but it also noted that, beyond the non-action on Judge Merrick Garland's 10-month nomination to the Supreme Court by Trump's predecessor, President Obama's "choice for labour secretary, Thomas Perez, took 121 days to be confirmed. John Bryson, his commerce pick, waited 126 days. Attorney General Loretta Lynch holds the modern record, as 161 days passed before getting Senate approval."[153]
