Team Trump: 'Great minds' think alike - but can they run a country?

  • Summary

  • Donald Trump has started to nominate who he wants in his top team.

    As well as billionaire Elon Musk, controversial Trump loyalist Matt Gaetz and nephew of former president JFK, Robert Kennedy Jr, are among the picks. Matt Gaetz is a Florida congressman and the attorney general pick for Trump.

    In February 2023, the Justice Department declined to bring charges of sex trafficking a 17-year-old against Gaetz, who has denied wrongdoing since the allegations first came to light.

    And as health secretary, Robert Kennedy Jr, or RFK Jr, is an anti-vaccine activist who has embraced a slew of other debunked health-related conspiracy theories, including the discredited theory that childhood immunisations cause autism.

    Our host Niall Paterson is joined by US correspondent James Matthews and Julie Tsirkin, NBC News congressional correspondent in Capitol Hill, Washington, to hear more about president-elect Trump's selections and why they aren't the most popular options.
