President-elect
 Donald Trump announced Saturday he will not be inviting his former 
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and U.N. ambassador Nikki Haley to join 
his cabinet.
Haley ran against Trump for president in 2024 and 
did not campaign with him . Pompeo, who also served as Trump’s CIA 
director, flirted with a presidential bid of his own in 2024. 
After
 Trump's win, Pompeo was making a concerted effort to be named to the 
position of defense secretary. Pompeo’s bid to become the nation’s 
defense chief ran into heated opposition from close allies of the former
 president, including his son, Donald Trump Jr., and far-right 
commentator and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
“There is a 
desire to not have people with presidential ambitions” use Trump cabinet
 posts as a launch pad, said a former senior Trump administration 
official. “He got burned by Mike previously, and by Haley, and his 
foreign policy views are not aligned with the president.”
Pompeo,
 who unleashed a barrage of measures against China in his final weeks in
 office, and declared that China had committed genocide against its 
Uighur Muslims , had been sanctioned by Beijing .
Pompeo 
"planned, promoted and executed a series of crazy moves, gravely 
interfered in China's internal affairs, undermined China's interests, 
offended the Chinese people, and seriously disrupted China-U.S. 
relations," Beijing had said.

American Muslims are screwed.
U.S. Muslim leaders who supported Republican Donald Trump to protest against the Biden administration's support for Israel's war on Gaza and attacks on Lebanon have been deeply upset by his pro-Israel Cabinet picks—Reuters.
Trump is not going to end the two wars. He is going for broke.
Now.Trump mominated even a.worse camdidate as secretary of state, the anti China, AIPAC supported warmongering neocon Marco Rubio. He alone sponsored the most anti China bills before Congress and talked of war with China. It got so bad that China samctioned him.
Trump is picking the most pro Israel and anti China hawks to his administration
