Trump Faces Backlash Over Controversial Cabinet Picks and Political Strategy

Republican strategist Karl Rove criticized President-elect Trump's Cabinet nominations, particularly the controversial choice of Matt Gaetz for attorney general, which Rove described as a "catastrophically bad selection." Gaetz, who faced allegations of sexual misconduct, withdrew his nomination amid the controversy. Rove argued that Trump's chaotic selection process, marked by inadequate vetting and controversial picks, undermines his potential to gain popular support and creates unnecessary turmoil before taking office.
