One of the most prominent among them is the former mayor of New York Rudy Giuliani, who rose to national prominence after 9-11. He toyed with running for the presidency himself before joining Team Trump, and as a reward for his loyal campaigning he may land the Attorney General’s job.

Veteran Newt Gingrich, the nemesis of the Clintons in the 1990s, is being touted as Secretary of State, while Stephen Hadley, who was National Security Advisor for George W. Bush, is thought to be the pick for Defence Secretary.

One person who needs little introduction is the woman picked as Vice-Presidential running mate during John McCain’s failed bid for the White House in 2008. Tea partier-in-chief Sarah Palin may become Secretary of the Interior.

Former rival to Donald Trump in the Republican race Ben Carson has been suggested as Education Secretary, but he is a creationist who denies the concept of evolution, which may compromise his chances of getting the job.

However by far the most controversial figure is a man who already been named to the key position of Head of Strategy in the White House, the former banker and ultra-right conspiracy theorist behind Breitbart digital media, Stephen Bannon, who has given platforms to various extremist white nationalist and anti-semitic groups.
