In this special editorial forecast, the Editorial Board of BREAKING TIMES presents a list of some of the likely incoming Ministers and their corresponding portfolios. According to sources close to the President-Elect, these are individuals driven by the desire to restore the dream of the founding fathers but also share the modest lifestyle of the incoming president.
