Donald Trump hasn’t filled his Cabinet yet, but all evidence suggests he’s looking for two main qualities in his picks: loyalty to him and a loathing for what he calls the deep state. Join moderator Jeffrey Goldberg, Elisabeth Bumiller of The New York Times, Leigh Ann Caldwell of Washington Post Live, Mark Leibovich of The Atlantic and Francesca Chambers of USA Today to discuss this and more.
Donald Trump is almost certainly the most important American political figure of the 21st century so far.

Join moderator Jeffrey Goldberg, Tim Alberta and Helen Lewis of The Atlantic, Susan Glasser of The New Yorker and Asma Khalid of NPR to discuss this and more.
