The New York Times (NYT) reported that Trump's selection style has changed more improvised and unconventional than during his first term in office.

According to the New York Times, the nominee for attorney general had not been decided until Trump took a flight back to Florida after meeting President Biden at the White House in Washington, D.C. on the 13th.

But Matt Gates, a loyalist, was chosen when he got off the plane.

Even Gates' name was first mentioned on a flight to Washington on the same day.

I chose Gates on the fly back to Florida while discussing several candidates.

The nomination of the defense secretary nominee was also sudden, the NYT said.

Trump abruptly named Fox News host Pete Hegseth while receiving a presentation about the candidate group at a Florida resort.

Later, as the announcement was made quickly, some camp officials only learned about the nomination of Hegseth after seeing media reports.

When South Dakota Gov. Kristinom was first mentioned in the list of candidates for secretary of homeland security, Trump reportedly laughed at him, but later changed his mind and selected him.

The NYT pointed out that even aides are tongue-in-cheek at the speed of Trump's selection.

President-elect Trump also showed a unique style of appointment during his first term in office, but the first cabinet appointment was not announced until December 2016, a month after his election.

Large smart TVs are said to be at the center of the selection process for the second term of power.

When an interested person comes out after looking through the list of candidates prepared by the transition committee, they immediately look at the broadcast where the candidate appeared on a smart TV.

With the rapid selection of major candidates, controversy over the poor verification of candidates is intensifying.
