On Monday, Donald Trump announced his plan to appoint Stephen K. Bannon as his chief strategist. Bannon, a former head of Breitbart News, has come under scrutiny for his racist views on certain issues. This comes following a slew of rumors surrounding the possible appointment of far-right conservatives into high-ranking positions in Trump's cabinet. Trump has also been considering officials such as Rudy Giuliani and Senator Jeff Sessions for his Attorney General.
One of the arguments surrounding Trump's leadership is his tendency to promote "yes-men" to powerful positions, as well as officials who identify as very conservative. Given the fact that both the Senate and the House are Republican-controlled, the country could see a drastic change in the political ideology within the White House. However, the fact that Trump has been gathering an army of leaders with political experience could help him build upon his leadership amongst those in Congress.
