It is well known that incoming U.S. president Donald Trump has an affinity for people he perceives as powerful. He likes reckless warmongers like Russian President Vladimir Putin and vile dictators like North Korea’s Kim Jong Un. His cabinet picks include Tesla chief executive and richest man in the world Elon Musk; celebrities like TV doctor Mehmet Oz and Fox News host Pete Hegseth; and no-nonsense tough guys like Tom Homan, who Mr. Trump selected to be his “border czar.”
