This is a list of political appointments made by the President-elect of the United States, Donald Trump, before his inauguration on January 20, 2017.
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 their 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.
Political alignment
On November 30, Politico, noting the overall stark conservatism of Trump's chosen administration nominees as opposed to previous administrations, described Trump as "well on his way to building a conservative dream team that has Republicans cheering and liberals in despair."[1]
