Future US President Donald Trumphas already begun choosing her team, appointing about twenty people who share a common profile: absolute dedication to her vision, a strong television presence and strong support for her most controversial measures, such as mass deportations.

Some of these appointments must be confirmed by the Senate, where Republicans will have a 53-seat majority starting in January, which could be affected by internal divisions. Given this scenario, Trump has already said he will try to avoid the chamber and make unilateral appointments.

Trump’s picks so far include:

Susie Wiles, Chief of Staff

She will go down in history as the first woman to hold the post of head of administration. With extensive experience in Florida politics, Wiles ran Trump’s 2016 campaign in the state. and in this election she was responsible for a presidential strategy that many consider more complex and disciplined than in previous cases.
