Now, it is hoped that as Trump prepares to announce cabinet

public sector, it’s up to him and his future administration to put his proposed
agenda into effect as that is what voters will be looking forward to. They expect
the business billionaire to ensure he fulfills the promises he made along the
campaign trail. His views on several key issues, from immigration reform to
combating terrorism domestically and abroad, greatly contradicted his rival,
Democratic nominee and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as well as
the current White House administration under President Barack Obama.
