Former critics now work together
President Donald Trump’s Cabinet includes some of his sharpest former critics: Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. All three once challenged Trump publicly, yet today they collaborate closely to advance his agenda and deliver results.
From friction to teamwork
Trump’s first term often saw internal clashes that slowed progress. Leaders like Mike Pence, Mark Esper, and John Bolton frequently opposed the president, making it harder to implement his policies. Now, Trump 2.0 has a Cabinet that rolls up its sleeves, works as a team, and puts past disagreements aside to get things done.
Action over politics
Trump shows that flexibility can achieve results. Vance, Rubio, Kennedy Jr., and even former Democrat Tulsi Gabbard now work alongside him, proving that firsthand experience can change opinions. The Cabinet recently backed bold moves, like limiting large corporations from buying single-family homes—an idea even some Democrats support.
Learning from experience
Trump’s experience taught him that the right people make the difference. His Cabinet now functions like a well-oiled machine, empowered to act quickly and effectively. Members take ownership of policies, ensuring Americans see the impact of their work.
Shaping the future
This Cabinet may influence the Republican Party for years to come. Many watch JD Vance as a potential 2028 presidential contender, but whoever steps forward will likely run as the leader who continues Trump’s all-star approach. After a year, it’s clear: giving capable people authority and trust produces real results.
