Ruben Navarrette : Bipartisan alarm greeted news of some of Trump 's Cabinet picks.

He says Trump 's priority as president is retribution against agencies that he baselessly believes wronged him when he held office before.

Trump could have nominated people to head the Treasury Department and other agencies responsible for the economy, he says.

It's easy to believe that Hegseth wouldn’t shy from ordering the military to fire on protesters if Trump so desires.

Kennedy would have jurisdiction over the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration .

Gaetz is the most likely to fail muster, either rejected next year in a new, Republican -controlled Senate .
