Staff Reports
President-elect Donald Trump has made a splash as he reveals his picks for the upcoming administration, and it’s clear he has no plans to bring the drama of the swamp into the White House. Instead, he’s assembled a team of heavy hitters, including some familiar names that will make conservatives cheer. The appointments range from fighting Big Tech to fostering international relations, and the message is loud and clear: this administration is determined to put America First.
One standout appointment is Andrew N. Ferguson as the Chair of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Ferguson has already gained a reputation as a staunch defender of free speech and a warrior against the censorship tactics of Big Tech. His transition to this high-profile position signals an aggressive strategy to protect American citizens from the overreach of tech giants. Ferguson’s past service as Solicitor General of Virginia adds to his credentials, making him poised to right the ship of government regulation and, perhaps, poke the bear of Silicon Valley where it hurts.
Meanwhile, Kimberly Guilfoyle, a well-known figure from Fox News, is on her way to Greece as the next ambassador. Guilfoyle is not just packing her bags; she’s set to have all the right connections and experience to bolster U.S. interests abroad. Trump has praised her sharp intellect and leadership capabilities, suggesting she’ll not only navigate the complexities of diplomacy but also make sure the U.S. has a potent voice in discussions on defense and trade. It seems the America First approach is more than just a slogan; it’s a guiding principle for international relations.
Jacob Helberg has snagged the coveted role of Under Secretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment. With a people’s champion mentality towards America’s foreign economic policies firmly in place, Helberg promises to advance America’s economic and technological prowess on the global stage. In this role, he is expected to take the axe to overly regulation-heavy initiatives, emphasizing growth and security rather than bureaucratic nonsense.
Trump Announces Even More Picks of Names for His Administration

Trump has not stopped at just the glamorous ambassadorial roles or economic positions. Ed Martin, previously Chief of Staff for a governor, will now take the reins as Chief of Staff for the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). His history with conservative stalwarts and his commitment to the MAGA movement indicates that budgetary decisions will be steered towards fiscal conservatism, challenging the wasteland of the Deep State. Alongside Dan Bishop, who will serve as Deputy Director of OMB, Martin is expected to implement a rigorous cost-cutting agenda that could send shivers down the spines of those still clinging to the old ways of government spending.
Trump’s latest wave of appointments isn’t just filling slots; it’s an outright resurgence of conservative principles. With a focus on real-world impact instead of political theater, the newly appointed team aims to reshape governmental functions, uphold constitutional rights, and bolster international economic ties—all while giving a clear warning to the entrenched interests of the past. As Trump gears up for his second term, the GOP appears ready to rally behind a defined, aggressive agenda that prioritizes the American people above all.
