While some cabinet appointments may reflect a troubling trend, a deeper examination reveals a couple of noteworthy candidates:
Robert Lighthizer
Robert Lighthizer, who served as the U.S. Trade Representative during Trump’s first term, is one candidate that stands out. Known for his expertise in trade law and negotiations, his potential reappointment signals an acknowledgment of skill over mere loyalty. Lighthizer's successful negotiation of trade deals like NAFTA 2.0 and agreements with South Korea and Japan garnered respect from the business community. However, the specifics of his expanded role are still under negotiation.
