Donald Trump’s decision to nominate controversial loyalists to his cabinet has caused a tidal wave of negative media coverage even by his typically friendly newspapers and criticisms from fellow Republicans.

Gabbard was nominated as director of national intelligence while Gaetz was named as pick for attorney general.
