Donald Trump Makes Massive Presidential Announcement... This Is Going To Change Everything Yesterday, President-elect Donald Trump spent his day in South Florida, working through issues in his transition to the White Housewhich also includes a new deputy national security adviser, a potential Commerce secretary, and a public battle over who will be the next Secretary of State. On Friday, Trump filled two staff slots, naming veteran Washington D.C. campaign finance attorney Don McGahn as White House counsel and Kathleen Troia McFarland as deputy national security adviser, USA Today reports. Don has a brilliant legal mind, excellent character and a deep understanding of constitutional law, Trump said in a statement about his choices. He will play a critical role in our administration and I am grateful that he is willing to serve our country at such a high-level capacity. McGahn also released a statement, saying that Trump is a bold leader committed to draining the swamp in Washington and restoring economic prosperity and security. Moving forward, McGahn will likely be at Trumps side helping him navigate possible conflicts between his presidential duties and his business interests worldwide. McFarland is a veteran national security analyst and Fox News commentator, and she will work next to National Security-Adviser-designate Michael Flynn. She has tremendous experience and innate talent that will complement the fantastic team we are assembling, which is crucial because nothing is more important than keeping our people safe, Trump noted. McFarland was an official during the Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, and Ronald Reagan administrations. More recently, she has expressed her concerns about Obamas foreign policyand particularly his approach to terrorism. In her statement, McFarland said that nobody has called foreign policy right more than President-elect Trump, and he gets no credit for it. Trump is also expected to nominate billionaire investor Wilbur Ross as Secretary of Commerce, who will likely propel his campaign against existing free trade agreements. During Trumps campaign, Ross told CNBC that he backed Trump because middle-class and lower middle-class America has not really benefited by the last 10 to 15 years of economic activity and theyre sick and tired of it and they want something different. Ross is a controversial choice for Trump, with critical calling him the king of bankruptcy but that is largely due to his history of buying businesses and selling them. Trump is expected to resume his interviews of prospective appointees on Monday, USA Today reports. Dr. Ben Carson has also said he is considering an offer for Trumps cabinet as well.
