The nature of kingship in William Shakespeare’s 1606 play Macbeth follows the events that occur during Macbeth’s unlawful rise to the throne......The themes of greed, arrogance and excessive political ambition are still, very relevant to the world today. Shakespeare got it right - his story of Macbeth still applies to today's world....
The Trump Appointments include Cabinet secretaries, deputy and assistant secretaries, chief financial officers, general counsel, heads of agencies, ambassadors and other critical leadership positions. All require Senate confirmation....most — if not all — of Trump’s picks will probably be confirmed. This year, for the first time, a new president’s Cabinet nominations can’t be filibustered, making Trump’s task much easier. And gaining Senate confirmation wasn’t that hard to begin with: Over the last 40 years, new presidents’ Cabinet picks have usually sailed through the confirmation process — even a majority of those who faced headwinds were still ultimately approved......From 1977 to 2013, the last six incoming presidents — Jimmy Carter through Barack Obama — made 109 appointments to Cabinet-level positions.1 Just six failed: Five nominees withdrew, and one was voted down by the Senate.
690 key positions requiring Senate confirmation.
James N. Mattis Defense Secretary.....Secretary of Defense....James "Mad Dog" Mattis has been out of the military for three years, but the law requires seven. The reason dates back to World War II
Rex W. Tillerson Secretary of State...."President-elect Donald Trump's pick for secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, said it was a "fair assumption" that Vladimir Putin was involved in Russia's hacking program — adding weight to the chorus of Trump supporters this week pointing to Putin's likely involvement..... Tillerson said a U.S. intelligence assessment that Russia waged cyberattacks to influence the 2016 presidential election "clearly is troubling," but noted that he does not yet have the security clearance to view the full report.....
After prodding, he acknowledged during Wednesday's confirmation hearing that such a cyber intrusion would not have happened without Putin's sign off. But the longtime Exxon Mobil CEO told the committee he has not yet spoken to Trump about one Russia, one of the top foreign policy challenges facing the U.S. "That's pretty amazing," Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez said..... Some of the sharpest questions came from Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, who could be a key vote for Tillerson's confirmation..... "Is Vladimir Putin a war criminal?" Rubio asked, shortly after noting Russia's involvement in the Syrian civil war..... "I would not use that term," Tillerson responded."

Jeff Sessions Attorney General...End migrant lawlessness....The US attorney general said: "We need to end this lawlessness that threatens the public safety, pulls down the wages of working Americans."...Sessions is widely seen as an inspiration for Mr Trump's anti-immigration policies.....
R.N.C. chairman Reince Priebus as his chief of staff,....The White House has confirmed it asked an FBI official to discredit reports President Trump's campaign aides were in touch with Russian intelligence.....The White House acknowledged its chief of staff Reince Priebus asked the FBI's deputy director to dispute a New York Times article alleging Moscow links.....The FBI refused, citing an ongoing inquiry into claims of contacts between Trump aides and Russia.....Trump has responded on Twitter by railing against FBI "leakers"."
Elaine L. Chao Transportation Secretary...Mitch McConnell and Elaine Chao have been married since 1993.....“Tiger wife!” ....Chao is the real breadwinner of the family. Her father is James S.C. Chao, the founder of the Foremost Group, a shipping and trading company based in New York. When Chao’s mother died in 2007, she received an inheritance and the couple’s net worth jumped......Before the inheritance, McConnell’s net worth was at $7.8 million, The Washington Post reported in 2014. As of 2014, McConnell’s net worth is at $22.8 million.......Politico reported in 2009 that the couple received a “personal gift” from the Chao family worth between $5 million and $25 million.
Ben Carson Secretary of Housing and Urban Development
Mike Pompeo C.I.A. Director....Tea Party Rep. Mike Pompeo To Run The CIA.....Pompeo shares many of Trump’s concerns about Muslims and terrorism in the U.S......Rep.
