◇Anchor> Something unimaginable happened. I'm interested in who will be in the Cabinet. Some analysts say that family power will be stronger in the second Trump administration.

◆ Bong Young-sik> That's right. But through family politics, we had an election campaign this time. His daughter-in-law even served as a member of the campaign finance committee, and if you look at the screen earlier, Elon Musk was there, but he has sons, but Vice President JD Vance is also young. You can't just look at Trump. The reason why I said that Trumpism is now a reality of the United States is that President Trump is old. He is 78 years old, but the people around him are relatively young. JD Vance is the youngest senator. 39 years old. His sons are young, Elon Musk is young, and Florida Senator Marco Rubio, who was mentioned as a vice presidential candidate. So Trumpism does not end with Trump's second term, but it also passes on to the next generation of Republicans. Earlier, Kamala Harris asked if she would run for president again, but the Democratic Party looks younger, but there are relatively few candidates.

◇Anchor> Do you think your family will actually be on the board or in key positions?

◆Bongyeongsik> It's up to President Trump. But it's Marco Rubio, the Florida senator we talked about earlier. Because you entered as one of the three final vice presidential candidates and under the original U.S. Constitution, the vice presidential and presidential candidates should not be from the same state. However, since candidate Trump's house was in Florida, he was not nominated as a vice presidential candidate. So I will take on a big role, especially in the US-Japan alliance and the foreign policy that I have studied a lot about Japan's collective self-defense, so I think I will take on a big role in the Indo-Pacific strategy in the future. The second is Tim Scott, a black South Carolina congressman. And Governor Kristinum, a woman leader, so I think he'll be in the limelight. And North Dakota, one of the last three vice presidential candidates. These people are clearly expected to play a big role in Trump's second cabinet, as some say that President Trump has given him a personal message to take over the administrative post instead of nominating for vice president.

◇ Anchor> Director Kim Yeol-soo, who do you think will take on the big task in the family?

◆Kim Yeol-soo> I'm Trump Jr., so I'm the eldest son. My eldest son is 46 years old. The vice president, Vance, is 40 years old. So the person who put Vance in the position of vice president is actually his eldest son in a way. So during the first administration last time, who was the key was Ivanka, so she's the eldest daughter. Kushner, the husband of his eldest daughter, went in and joined the Cabinet, but in this case, Ivanka and Kushner were out. Rather, Trump Jr., first son. 46 years old. Isn't everyone a little active? In my view, I think I will do something when this administration is launched.

◆ Bong Young-sik is the son-in-law, Kushner played a big role in the first period, but he did not appear with Ivanka and his wife in this campaign because he is a devout Jew. So if you put Kushner too far ahead of you, won't the Arab vote leave? Especially in Michigan, it was a very important swing boat layer, but it was 4%. So during the campaign, Jared Kushner bought it for me and instead came my second brother-in-law. My father-in-law is a businessman from Lebanon. So, depending on the campaign, which family will be forward-deployed. When running state affairs after winning, there is a possibility that Jews such as Kushner will play a big role in political diplomacy in the Middle East, and there are many cards for Trump.
