Trump ⁢Discusses Potential Cabinet Picks

Trump also discussed whether ‍he would consider providing support to independent candidates Robert F. Kennedy ⁣Junior, Tulsi Gabbard,⁣ and ⁤Elon Musk, who have withdrawn from the race.

Kennedy Jr. endorsed Trump after dropping out of the independent race, and Trump praised him for his work‍ on health and environmental issues. “JFK Jr. will do a great job⁤ on health and the environment,” Trump ​said.

When‌ asked if he would consider giving Kennedy Jr. a job at⁤ the Department of Health and⁢ Human Services, Trump​ denied it, saying, “No. It doesn’t make any sense… I’m not‍ making a deal with anyone because it’s not the right time to do​ it.‌ It’s ​too early.⁢ But it’s almost ⁢that time, isn’t it?… So we’ll see⁤ what will happen?”

Trump also mentioned Tulsi Gabbard,⁤ a former congresswoman from Hawaii, ‌who is also a⁤ Democrat and later became an independent. He praised her for having “common sense” and noted⁣ that she had helped him ⁤prepare⁤ for a‌ debate with Vice President Harris.

As for billionaire ‍Elon ⁤Musk, Trump said he might be willing to help solve some of the‍ government’s problems. ‍”What he (Musk) will do, and ⁤this is what ⁣we talk about the most, is cost,” Trump said. “I’m telling you, Musk would⁤ walk in ‌and say,⁤ ‘This‍ is‍ what you have to do. You have to do this.’ He was​ very interested in it. He‌ felt that there was so much waste in⁤ this country. It’s right.”
