Donald Trump/Second presidency	“My opinion generally is that some figures in the Trump administration were kind of chosen as a PR move and that they're not actually in charge of what they're nominally in charge of. "So, like Pete Hegseth, head of the Pentagon, he's kind of a Fox and Friends, you know, he's a TV show host. And the The Deputy Director of the Pentagon, Steve Feinberg of Cerberus Capital, is most likely the person actually running the Pentagon, not Hegseth, in my opinion. "And I think that's true also for, RFK Junior in charge of HHS. I don't really think he's running. He's just kind of this figure that connected with Trump's base, particularly during the Covid era, and made them think reforms would come. And those reforms haven't really come, but he's kind of there to give the impression that things have changed. But the person behind him, the deputy secretary, is Jim O'Neill, who's a career affiliate of Peter Thiel who's also the power behind J.D. Vance and, you know, the man that made Palantir what it is. "And so, you know, I think it's just a way of sort of masking the people that are actually running stuff. And I think that's probably true, too, of Kash Patel and Dan Bongino. They were making the rounds on podcasts and were making these connections and building trust and relationships with the public in Trump's base. But it seems like they're not actually, running anything, in my opinion. They're kind of figureheads in a way, and they're willing figureheads. I would say."”	Whitney Webb	28 July 2025
