VIDEO : Trump Taps “Blunt Border Security HAWK” General to Head Department of Homeland Security
President-elect Trump loves our countries strong, smart, and powerful military leaders and is making sure to place them in positions that will benefit our country.
Trump, Unlike Obama, who placed a string of failed non-military people in positions much more suited for someone with military experience, is making thoughtful choices based on national security, not some warped political ideology.
In his latest pick, Trump taps Retired Marine General John F. Kelly to head the Department of Homeland Security.
Watch the video:
From Washington Post:
President-elect Donald Trump has chosen retired Marine Gen. John F. Kelly to run the Department of Homeland Security, turning to a blunt-spoken border security hawk who clashed with the Obama administration over women in combat and plans to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, according to people familiar with the decision.
Kelly, who retired in February as chief of U.S. Southern Command, would inherit a massive and often troubled department responsible for overseeing perhaps the most controversial part of Trump’s agenda: his proposed crackdown on illegal immigration. DHS is the third-largest Cabinet department, with more than 240,000 employees who do everything from fight terrorism to protect the president and enforce immigration laws.
Kelly, 66, is a widely respected military officer who served for more than 40 years, and he is not expected to face difficulty winning Senate confirmation. Trump’s team was drawn to him because of his southwest border expertise, people familiar with the transition said. Like the president-elect Kelly has sounded the alarm about drugs, terrorism and other cross-border threats he seems as emanating from Mexico and Central and South America.
