When Donald Trump charged into the White House in January 2017, he came ready to win, stacking his Cabinet with power players to ignite his 'America First' revolution—a team MAGA fans roared for. But Trump’s a straight-talker, and in interviews, he’s owned up to a first-term hiccup: leaning on politicians to pick that 2016 lineup. He’s called it a rookie mistake, one he’s left in the dust. Now, seasoned and sharp, Trump says he knows who to hand-pick—his people, not Washington’s leftovers. That grit defines him—he’s never hesitated to fire anyone who flops. It’s the same fire he unleashed in his 2024 campaign, tearing into Biden’s team for not ditching generals who botched the Afghanistan exit, Homeland Security heads who let border crossings hit insane highs, and what Trump calls Biden’s vote-grabbing hires—folks tapped just to pander to minorities instead of getting results. That real-talk leadership—axing the weak, picking the strong—lit up his base and locked in his 2024 landslide. Today, with Trump back in command, we’re zeroing in on those 2016 Cabinet members who turned on him. Who were they? What happened after they split? And where are they now? Let’s roll.
