# Trump 2.0 Cabinet Hub Roster of the **second Trump administration's cabinet** — the people, not the institutions. For the departments as structures see [[Cabinet Departments Hub]]; for the administration as a political ecosystem (advisers, donors, operatives beyond the formal cabinet) see [[Second Trump Administration]]. Every officeholder below has a `/People/` record (`type: person`, tag `cabinet`). The analytical lens this cabinet was built for: a **loyalty-first, [[Project 2025]]-aligned** cabinet, unusually heavy with billionaires and [[Fox News]] alumni, assembled to execute [[Schedule F]], [[DOGE]] cuts, and [[Unitary Executive Theory]] across the departments. By mid-2026 it had also seen significant turnover — an attorney general removed, two secretaries replaced, and the DHS seat handed to a sitting senator. ## The 15 executive departments (order of succession) | # | Department | Secretary | Note | |---|---|---|---| | 1 | [[Department of State]] | [[Marco Rubio]] | Also held acting National Security Advisor role after May 2025 | | 2 | [[Department of the Treasury]] | [[Scott Bessent]] | Hedge-fund manager | | 3 | [[Department of Defense]] | [[Pete Hegseth]] | Ex-Fox News host; Signalgate | | 4 | [[Department of Justice]] | [[Todd Blanche]] | Acting AG since April 2026; [[Pam Bondi]] removed | | 5 | [[Department of the Interior]] | [[Doug Burgum]] | Ex-ND governor; energy-dominance council | | 6 | [[Department of Agriculture]] | [[Brooke Rollins]] | Ex-[[America First Policy Institute]] | | 7 | [[Department of Commerce]] | [[Howard Lutnick]] | Ex-[[Cantor Fitzgerald]]; tariff point man | | 8 | [[Department of Labor]] | [[Keith Sonderling]] | Acting since April 2026; [[Lori Chavez-DeRemer]] resigned | | 9 | [[Department of Health and Human Services]] | [[Robert F.
