Fox News analyst Nicole Saphier predicted that Donald Trump would turn his back on the pros for his next cabinet.
The contributor claimed that the reason for his cabinet’s “high turnover” during his first term was a reliance on “career politicians,” and that he wouldn’t make the same mistake again.
“The good news about 2024 is we have a strong Republican bench of people that he can call to the White House and will do a tremendous job,” Fox News political analyst Gianno Caldwell kicked off the segment on The Big Weekend Show on Saturday.

“And at this point, he’s not running again so he can really go out there and hit that ball hard,” he said.
Saphier was then asked about her predictions for what role may be played by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.,a conspiracy theorist who previously claimed that Trump guaranteed him a place in the White House.
“People are starting to throw around his name for director of Health and Human Services. I don‘t really see him in a role there. I certainly think he‘s going to have an active role as a senior advisor,” she said.
The radiologist then outlined her vision of Trump ignoring advice to take on experienced politicians, and instead undertaking a “spring cleaning” of his aides.
“But I certainly think that President-elect Trump is going to do things differently,” she said.
“Last time he had a high turnover, and that is because, you know, he trusted those around him and he got a lot of industry people in because they were career politicians and they said that‘s what he should do.
“This time around, he’s going to do things differently because he is not–he’s going to do the equivalent of spring cleaning, and get out cobwebs, bring in some bleach, and he’s going to shake it up."
Coming back to the Kennedy question, she obliquely concluded: “And I really think he’s going to do some great things with Make America Healthy Again.”
