Many Americans of differing political persuasions are still coming to grips with Donald Trump's victory in last week's election and, as he prepares to take over as president, his appointees are causing controversy as well.

Trump recently named former Briebart News chairman Stephen Bannon and Republican National Committee chairman Reince Prebus to head his White House.

U.S. Congressman John Moolenaar, who's district includes Big Rapids, Reed City, Mt. Pleasant, and Midland, believes both men have enough political experience.

“Well, I think that Reince Prebus is someone who is very well known and respected in government and Congress. Mr. Bannon is not known as well, but is someone who has gained the trust of president-elect Trump and has really helped in the campaign,” he says.

Neither man has previously held an elected office, but Trump says they will work as “equal partners to transform the federal government.”
