Donald Trump’s nominations of black & gay Secretaries finalize the demographical diversification of his Cabinet

American President-elect Donald Trump just nominated Scott Bessent, a married Gay man, as Treasury Secretary; and NFL veteran Scott Turner, a Black, as Secretary for the Department of Housing & Urban Development, effectively dismissing the allegations of racism and sexism in his future Cabinet – which is now diversified and inclusive enough. It would be interesting if he picks a Democrat for a Cabinet-level position, however it would unlikely to happen since the pool of Republican candidates is vast enough for his selection.

In his statement, Trump emphasized some qualities of Pete as being “a warrior for the troops”, a combat veteran, a Harvard and Princeton graduate, and a holder of two Bronze Stars.
