The whole world witnessed the historic return of Donald Trump to the White House with huge votes. His entry into the White House is still two months away. But speculations about the 'possible shape' of Trump's government have already started in the United States. As many political observers have been reminded, many such predictions ultimately failed to materialize after Trump won in 2016.

Eight years ago, Trump's son-in-law Gerard Kushner was one of the 'brains' in the campaign against Democratic rival Hillary Clinton. After the vote, it was thought, 'Jamairaj' was going to be installed in the Oval Office. But it did not happen in practice.

Kushner was no more than the president's 'sole adviser'. This time, one of the faces of the campaign for Trump and his running mate JD Vance was Elon Musk, the leader of the social media platform X and Tesla. Speculations are already rife whether he gets any important role in the next government or not.

Who is in speculation with Elon Musk?

The news agency Reuters has published a report on who can be the secretaries of important departments such as defense, foreign affairs, economy, trade, immigration, internal security in Trump's government.

According to the report, Trump may choose his chief economic adviser, Scott Bessant, as Treasury Secretary. Billionaire John Paulson and one of Trump's economic advisers, Larry Kudlow, are also in talks.

Reuters predicts that Richard Grenell, the former US ambassador to Germany, may be given the responsibility of the new national security adviser. Robert O'Brien, who is in his first term as national security adviser, may become the secretary of state in the Trump administration.

But influential Republican leader Bill Haggerty and Senator Marco Rubio, elected from Trump's home state of Florida, are also in speculation.

There are three names in discussion for the post of defense secretary — Mike Waltz, elected to the House of Representatives from Florida, former CIA chief Mike Pompeo and Trump political adviser and Republican Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas.

Robert Lighthizer was trade adviser during Trump's first term as president. This time he can be seen in the post of Commerce Secretary. Trump's close financial advisor and Cantor Fitzgerald boss Howard Lutnick is in the running for the post.

Keith Kellogg, the retired lieutenant general of the US Army, and Chad Wolf, the head of the Department of Homeland Security in Trump's first term, may claim the post of secretary of the department. At that time, Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement Tom Homan may take over the immigration office.

Trump may choose John Radcliffe for the post of attorney general of the new government. He is a former House member. He was the Director of National Intelligence during Trump's first term. Trump close prosecutor Mike Lee can come to that position. He is an elected senator from the state of Utah. Susie Wills can be seen as Trump's 'Chief of Staff' in the White House. He was Trump's campaign assistant this time. There is speculation that Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democrat member of the American Congress, may also be seen in Trump's new 'team' this time.

Incidentally, the total number of Electoral College votes in the 50 states of the United States is 538. Trump has already passed the 270 needed for a majority. In the next step, the electors will gather in the respective provincial capitals on December 13 and vote for their party's candidate to officially end the presidential election.

Before that, however, the provincial election authorities have to hand over the results to the federal authorities by December 11. On January 6, 2025, members of the two chambers of the US Congress, the Senate and the House of Representatives, will approve the inauguration of Trump as the 47th President of the United States.
