Summary

President-elect Donald Trump is prioritizing media personalities for key administration roles, favoring individuals with TV experience to create what critics describe as a “nuclear-armed reality television show.”

Notable picks include Pete Hegseth, Sean Duffy, Dr. Mehmet Oz, and Tulsi Gabbard, many of whom lack traditional qualifications but have strong on-air presence.

Trump’s focus on celebrity and loyalty over expertise has raised concerns among lawmakers.

Former allies like Chris Christie liken the selection process to “casting a TV show,” reflecting Trump’s reality-TV roots and reliance on conservative media.

    I hate it, but it’s really smart. Clearly it’s not something he thought up himself.

    They may all be shit human beings, but video clips are the main way people are going to see them. If they look and sound like they know what they’re talking about, the masses will just eat it up. But talking to the actual public face to face and talking to them on TV are two very different things.
