Trump has announced names for 20 key administration roles, including leaders for all 15 executive agencies.

He has yet to officially tap four remaining top positions, which include trade representative, chair of the Council of Economic Advisers , administrator of the Small Business Administration and director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy .

Trump will have to make about 4,000 political appointments, about 1,200 of which will require Senate confirmation.

Trump named Gorka as deputy assistant to the president and senior director for counterterrorism within the White House National Security Council .

Former national security adviser John Bolton , a notorious Trump defector, called Gorka a “con man” and said he wouldn’t have him in any government.

Trump ultimately settled on Alex Wong for the No. 2 spot on the NSC .
