Trump's latest move a sign of 'chaos' within disorganized Trump transition team: analyst

Reacting to Donald Trump's controversial and much-derided choice of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) to be his attorney general, MSNBC analyst Katty Kay suggested the reported inner-circle fighting over the selection among the former president's people is a sign that things are not running as smoothly as it would seem.

Speaking with the hosts of "Morning Joe," Kay stated that the president-elect's team was on a smooth glide path with earlier nominations but has hit a bumpy road with the picks of Gaetz, Tulsi Gabbard to head DNI and Fox News personality Peter Hegseth as defense secretary.

"The reporting is that Matt Gaetz was not high up on the list [for AG]," Kay began. "Other people around Donald Trump didn't think he was going to necessarily be the attorney general pick and then he flew up with Donald Trump yesterday morning to Washington, D.C.., and the reporting is that as the result of those conversations his name was announced."

"Maybe this is Donald Trump not being as organized about his cabinet as we had thought he was from the early picks when he came in and immediately announced Susie Wiles," she suggested. "We thought this is different from 2016 –– this is somebody who has been planning this, it's organized, there is a system here."

"Yet, the last couple of appointments suggest that may not be the case, that some of this is being –– Pete Hegseth, only went down to Mar-a-Lago Monday, announced quickly," she reported. "Matt Gaetz was announced quickly after those conversations on the plane. So perhaps there is a little bit more chaos around this one."
