Donald Trump is seen taking big decisions every day after winning the US Presidential election. He has given big responsibilities from Elon Musk to Tulsi Gabbard. Everyone is shocked to see his cabinet members. Recently he nominated Matt Gaetz for Attorney General, Pete Hegsett for Secretary of Defense and Tulsi Gabbard for Director of National Intelligence.
However, critics say that these are all inexperienced people and this is Trump’s big mistake, but Trump is not shying away from surprising everyone. In this series, another Gujarati name is added which is said to be a Trump loyalist.
Trump is giving big responsibility to loyalists
It is believed that Trump is selecting his most loyal individuals for top positions so that he never comes under pressure from his own associates. Which happened in many cases during the first term.
Now Trump can give big responsibility to Kash Patel of Gujarati origin. Earlier it was believed that he would make Kash Patel the CIA chief, but he has named his close aide John Ratcliffe as the CIA head.
There was panic in the intelligence community
However, now Patel is expected to get the top post in the FBI. NBC said his potential appointment to top intelligence agencies has set off alarm bells in the intelligence community. Some officials initially feared Trump would nominate Patel to be CIA director. Kash Patel has already worked with Trump and completed many important projects.
Why is the intelligence community afraid of Patel?
In fact, Patel has radical views about America’s intelligence community, about which he has also expressed his views in a book ‘Government Gangsters: The Deep State, the Truth and the Battle for our Democracy’.
Even Trump said that Patel’s book would be a blueprint for his next term. He said this is a brilliant roadmap to expose every corrupt person, which will put our agencies and departments back to work only for the American people.
Trump also said that we will use this blueprint to take back the power of the White House from the gangsters and help make all positions of government independent.
Started career as a lawyer
44 year old Patel’s full name is Kashyap Pramod Patel. He was born in New York in a Gujarati-origin family. His family is originally from Vadodara. However, his parents lived in Uganda, having immigrated to the US from East Africa. He completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Richmond before returning to New York to earn his law degree. He has also been an ice hockey player and coach.
Kash Patel started his career as a lawyer. Later he also joined the Trump administration.
