TRUMP'S CABINET SHOCKERS: REPUBLICAN HOUSE SPEAKER DESCRIBES NOMINATIONS AS 'DISRUPTORS'

Washington D.C. - In a candid assessment, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson on Sunday described President-elect Donald Trump's Cabinet nominees as "disruptors" who will shake up the status quo in Washington. The remarks come as Trump continues to announce officials for key positions in his administration.

Johnson explained that he believes these individuals are part of Trump's deliberate strategy to surround himself with people who can implement his policies, even if they lack traditional government experience. The picks have sent mixed reactions in Washington, with some causing bipartisan concern and others winning approval from the fossil fuel industry.

As Trump moves forward with his picks, controversy surrounds several high-profile nominees. Pete Hegseth, Trump's defense secretary pick, has denied allegations of sexual assault, while Matt Gaetz, potential attorney general, is embroiled in an ethics scandal. Health secretary nominee Robert F Kennedy Jr's vaccine scepticism has also raised eyebrows.

In response to criticism, Donald Trump Jr defended his father's nominees on Fox News, claiming they are the "good guys" who will delivery on Trump's promises. The president-elect's son acknowledged controversies surrounding some picks but said there were "back-up plans" in place.

Trump's latest pick is oil executive Chris Wright, nominated as energy secretary. A long-time proponent of increasing U.S. fossil fuel production, Wright has been described as a climate change sceptic who does not care where energy comes from as long as it is secure and reliable.

The appointment sends a clear signal that Trump plans to prioritize the interests of the fossil fuel industry over investment in renewable energy sources. With many observers watching closely for potential Senate vetoes, Donald Trump Jr remained optimistic about his father's nominees, saying they would "get things done".
