Looks like Trump will get the Cabinet he wants. Tulsi Gabbard will be Director of National Intelligence, and Robert Kennedy Jr. will be Secretary of Health and Human Services. We can say with assurance that they will shake things up. Gabbard is a bit too liberal for me, while Kennedy is a bit too chaotic. But it will be a fun ride, if not a smooth one.

The bottom line: So far, President Trump is getting what he wants. The problems with Canada and Mexico appear to be heading for resolution as well. The “speak softly” part remains untested, but the “carry a big stick” part seems to be working quite well.

Tulsi Gabbard, Robert Kennedy Jr. confirmed by respective committees, face votes by full Senate.
