President-Elect Donald Trump has tapped billionaire Elon Musk and former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The President-Elect said that DOGE court become “‘The Manhattan Project’ of our time.”

Trump supporters have been eagerly awaiting this announcement for months now. Ever since Musk endorsed him following the first assassination attempt, Trump has promised the billionaire an oversight position in his administration.

Through his work protecting free speech on X, formerly Twitter, it is clear to see that Musk is committed to traditional, American values. Likewise, Vivek Ramaswamy demonstrated his strong adherence to conservatism during his campaign for president last year. Ramaswamy also endorsed Trump after dropping out of the race.

It is still unclear exactly how DOGE will operate. Trump said in his announcement that the department will provide “advice and guidance from outside of Government, and will partner with the White House and Office of Management & Budget to drive large scale structural reform, and create an entrepreneurial approach to Government never seen before.”

Musk and Ramaswamy are latest to join the Trump administration. We’ve compiled a list of all the people who have been picked as of the time of writing to serve in the administration:

  • Susie Wiles — Chief of Staff
  • Stephen Miller — Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy
  • Elise Stefanik — U.S. Ambassador to the U.N.
  • Lee Zeldin — Administer of the EPA
  • Mike Waltz — National Security Adviser
  • John Ratcliffe — Director of the CIA
  • Pete Hegseth — Secretary of Defense
  • Kristi Noem — Secretary of Homeland Security
  • Matt Gaetz — Attorney General
  • Tom Homan — Border Czar
  • Mike Huckabee — Ambassador to Israel
  • Steve Witkoff — Special Envoy to the Middle East
  • William McGinley — White House Counsel
  • Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy — Heads of the Department of Government Efficiency
  • Tulsi Gabbard — Director of National Intelligence

I am excited about Trump’s picks so far. These people are young, energetic intelligent and principled. They are not ‘establishment’ types who tend to go with the flow and the status quo and accomplish little, while enjoying the perks of their positions. We need unselfish, disciplined, patriotic new leaders who are not afraid of rocking the boat and taking the necessary bold action we need for our country today. I believe that is the driving force behinds Trump’s selections. We need to continue to pray for each one and for their confirmation, guidance, and wisdom from the Lord to be instruments in fulfilling His will.

Lord God Almighty. You are the Sovereign One, You are the Creator, You are our hope, You are he who answers prayer and sets up kings and bring down rulers. When you act, no one can stop you. We praise you and thank you for the election results. It is a reprieve from against the chaos of the past four years. Yet, we do not put out trust in government, no mater who is in authority, but rather we put our trust in You to work through governmental authority to exercise your will. We need you badly to defend and strengthen those who stand for your ways and values. We also need to repent for the many sins of our nation. Lord, we have sinned and we have rebelled in our hearts against You and you purposes. Forgive us and give us hearts of contrition and humility. Make is us a clean heart and restore your Holy Spirit to us as we confess our sins and call on Your name to have mercy, rather than the justice we have earned. Give us new and humble hearts to earnestly seek You and to honor You with our words and deeds. Cause those who hate You and your ways to stumble and fail. Cause them to be convicted in their hearts about their own sin and bring them to repentance as well and salvation that they no longer be enemies of God. Rebuke and correct, Lord, that they may see the futility of their ways and the wickedness that destroys and turn from that to you and embrace the Gospel! Our eyes are no you, Lord, and your mercy. Our hope is in you alone. Through Christ our Lord. Amen

Some of the people I know about and others I don’t. I trust in God’s guidance to president Trump for selecting these people. Let us keep praying that all these people will seek and follow God’s guidance. To fix the amount of damage done to our country by the democrats who were following satan’s evil plan will take time, patience, and listening carefully to God’s word. For God it is easy for us it is difficult. Let us all pray that ALL politicians seek and follow God’s guidance. So don’t abandon ship if it isn’t moving fast enough just pray more. Remember to pray for God’s will to be done because He loves us all and wants us all to come to Him. Be safe be kind and trust in God.
🙏😇🙏❤️

Wow! I say go forth and prosper President Trump. God has chosen you for this moment in time. Thank you, Lord for your provision! Thank you, Lord for turning the nation around. Thank you for God fearing intelligent people who were chosen by Trump for this moment in time. I really like Mike Huckabee and Trump chose him for ambassador to Israel. It sure is driving the left crazy that he chose Matt Gaetz for his Attorney General. Wow! That is all I can say. Our prayers have paid off. God bless America and God bless Israel!!!!

I suggest replacing Matt Gaetz with
Niki Haley. She would be excellent as Attorney General

    Absolutely not. She is another Romney. Matt Gaetz will do a good job. We need to keep praying for Trumps picks, I believe God is in control and guiding Trump. Amen

The Lord of hosts is with us! Father, May the peace of God guard the hearts and minds of our new president and every person appointed to serve in this new administration.

Clearly this election result was Devine intervention. The Lord has given us another chance. Let’s continue to pray for the new administration, and the various leaders being appointed. The attacks from the Satanic left will be vicious and non stop. We must stay strong and stay the course. Never give up! Fight, fight, fight for truth, justice, and the American way!

And Marco Rubio as Secretary of State! Somehow he got left off the list above.
The appointments will continue to take place.
“Thank you, Lord, for all that you have done, and are going to do for and through our country. May we never forget that it was you who opened the eyes of so many Americans to get out and vote to save our country from the darkness that has been descending on different levels. That, in itself, was an eye opener for many!”
They all need our continued prayers and support.

I am very hopeful that these men and women will stand strong against the liberal socialists that have been in power for so long.
Daily prayers will be necessary to support them. Let’s put it on our “to do” list for each day.

I’m praying for wisdom in each selection. That these men and women are God-fearing believers who turn to you, Father, for Your guidance in each and every decision. I also pray for their protection during this time for we know that the establishment is freaked out about President Trump’s return because the jig is up and they know it.
Thank You, Father, for answering the prayers of Your children.

I rejoice in the people who our president has chosen…. please keep your watchmen and intercessors informed of what is happening in the spirit realm around every one of them… Protection by your angels Lord. Give them hearing ears to receive and act on the promptings of Holy Spirit in their work and lives. Cause them to confront sin and compromise in their lives and in the nation. Use them Lord, to call this nation to repentance and revival. Purify, I pray, the churches in America. In Jesus name, I pray.

Father God, I thank You for the ongoing team of “we the people” being hand picked to serve YOUR nation. Father Your living Word tells us that the hearts of kings are in Your hands. I pray the Pres. Trumps heart would be completely turned toward You and that he would be totally and completely guided by Your Holy Spirit, even if he has yet to acknowledge that it is You that all the glory and honor of this present moment in history belongs to. I ask that each of these individuals would ultimately lean on You for wisdom and guidance and those who have yet to profess You as Commander and Chief over their lives personally will have a Damascus Rd experience with You, King Jesus!! We know that righteousness exalts a nation, so I ask that we would see this nation do a complete 180* and turn back to You. I ask that Your body, the Ecclesia, would gear up in the Spirit and fight the battle on our knees and not drop the ball again and expect the government to do what You have called us to do🙌🙌Jesus, You are coming back for a bride without spot or wrinkle, May this past 4 years be a sign post to us that You are the same God yesterday, today and forever and You will not tolerate wickedness in any form, including slothfulness. May we be warriors on the frontlines fighting the battle in our prayer closets AND in whatever capacity You call each one of us to serve. We can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens us. Help me personally, to fully comprehend that is is no by power or by my might , but by Your Spirit that the works are done. Faith without works is dead faith, use our hands and feet to accomplish Your will right here on earth Abba, thank You for inviting us to boldly come to Your throne of grace through the blood of our Precious Savior in whose matchless name we enter in🙏🙏🙌

You have not elected a black person
for an office This is very wrong

    November 14, 2024

    But you don’t elect a black person just because they’re black. This isn’t and shouldn’t be about race at all, it’s a job. He’s looking for job qualification, loyalty, etc. The color of one’s skin makes no difference. We’re all equal in the USA and in God’s eyes! 🤍🌱🕊️

    Father God, I don’t even think about color of skin; but WOW many do. Point out to Pres. Trump those in the Black community of public servants who would do well and are called to his team. I have been praying for YOU, LORD, to perfectly guide Pres. Trump, in every person that YOU have called to be on this team, and that there would be no Judas among the group of them. Give them all keen discernment. and wisdom, equipping them as they go forth to do their new jobs. May Your Grace and Spirit rest upon each one. The Godly Rejoice when the Righteous are in leadership over us. Keep us diligent in prayer over them, in JESUS’ NAME. Thank YOU, LORD, for YOUR AWESOME work in our new Godly Government. I pray healing and new vision to those who do not see this change as a truly good and Godly change. Please break their fears and put YOUR Shalom Peace and Rest upon them. We Praise YOU in all YOU are doing LORD to Redeem our country. Our JOY in YOU is Overflowing in gratitude to YOU.
