Former President Donald Trump has announced key appointments to his team, including Dan Scavino, James Blair, Taylor Budowich, William McGinley, Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, Jamieson Greer, and Kevin Hassett.
Scavino, a long-serving and trusted aide, will serve as deputy chief of staff and assistant to the president. Blair, who played a crucial role in Trump’s economic messaging, will be deputy chief of staff for legislative, political, and public affairs. Budowich, a veteran campaign aide, will serve as deputy chief of staff for communications and personnel. McGinley, who has a background in legal counsel, will return as White House counsel.
Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, a critic of pandemic lockdowns and vaccine mandates, has been appointed to lead the National Institutes of Health. Bhattacharya has promoted the idea of herd immunity during the COVID-19 pandemic. The National Institutes of Health funds medical research through competitive grants to researchers nationwide.
In terms of economic appointments, Trump has chosen Jamieson Greer as U.S. trade representative and Kevin Hassett as director of the White House National Economic Council. Greer played a key role in imposing tariffs and trade agreements during Trump’s first term. Hassett, who previously served as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers, will bring his expertise to restoring confidence in the economy.
These appointments reflect Trump’s focus on reestablishing America’s economic standing and advancing his America First agenda. With a mix of trusted advisors and new faces, Trump aims to build a team that can navigate the complex challenges facing the country.
