What I'm watching for in Trump appointees
Susie Wiles has been chosen as Chief of Staff. It is reported that she wants to control who has access to Trump. It was a definite requirement for her to take the job, according to reports. Good luck with that, Susie. This is the first we'll see if Trump can be told what to do. Because he supposedly said "OK" to that demand by Wiles, Trump has never been known to keep his word. If and when she steps down because he's allowing access to "undesirables", or what she calls "the clown car", will be the first indication of chaos in the new administration. I'll be watching this closely.
The second point is Stephen Miller. He if is appointed to be in charge of "immigration reform" and deportation, then Trump is serious about this. The images of kids being pulled out of schools and deporting American citizens, who are minors but born to undocumented parents, then placing these families in detention centers will be images similar to the early days of the Nazis, or at the very least, the Japanese internment camps in the United States in 1942.
I'm looking to see who Trump appoints to Homeland Security and Secretary of State.

... imagine The Donald saying, "Oh, sorry, Elon, I can't talk to you today. Susie said no."
