If he picks Palin for Dept of Vets Affairs or Sheriff Uncle Ruckus for Homeland Security, those would be the most likely stances.
If those are the picks and they both get through, not only will Congress have lost all credibility (including the fake kind), but those departments will be scandalized for as long as Trump's in office.
My bet is that Congress will be too spineless to block either of them. Which means that the game will be on.

They will never stand up to him. He is also a blank slate so he will do whatever THEY want

No matter how bad it is for the country.
