With a former Fox News anchor, a former World Wrestling Entertainment chief executive, hedge fund managers, anti-vaxxers, climate-change deniers, anti-immigrant advocates, big business supporters, America First cheerleaders, hawks and Elon Musk, President-elect Donald Trump's Cabinet choices have proven reliably aligned to his Make America Great Again (Maga) agenda.
The maverick nature of his choices, unleavened by moderate voices, has startled even the Republican faithful and points to a doubling down on campaign promises he has steadfastly followed since his first term.
As far as the economy and trade are concerned, Mr. Trump has signaled his protectionist intentions.
Earlier this week, he threatened to impose additional tariffs on his three largest partners—Mexico, Canada (25 percent each), and China (an additional 10 percent)—on grounds of unfair trade practices and the flow of illegal drugs and undocumented immigrants.
His choice of Jamieson Greer as US trade representative (USTR) is unlikely to hinder this move.
