Plus if things get sporty you want as many loyalists in key positions as possible.

Cover all your bases.

Interesting - two appointments to the "public interest declassification board" - maybe to disclose the rot and treason underlying the actions to come?

The Public Interest Declassification Board is an advisory committee established by the United States Congress with the official mandate of promoting the fullest possible public access to a thorough, accurate, and reliable documentary record of significant U.S. national security decisions and activities. The Board is composed of nine individuals: five appointed by the President of the United States and one each appointed by the Speaker of the House, House Minority Leader, Senate Majority Leader, and Senate Minority Leader. Appointees must be U.S. citizens preeminent in the fields of history, national security, foreign policy, intelligence policy, social science, law, or archives.****

Came to say that, also the Merchant Marines and Capitol Planning, these are little known grouos but have a significant impact. Merchant Marines can be called up at any time to support the navy and the actual Marines. That is almost every US flagged commercial ocean vessel

He's doing this thing where he puts in the people he really wants and the media doesn't get mad because they think he is out of the job very soon. So he can do whatever he wants because they think it will all be over in January, but he knows he will get 4 more years and use this timeframe to do the stuff they would usually go crazy over.

Acting on his lessons learned from 1st term and appointing loyalists for his 2nd.

Not even that abnormal for a president in between terms.

Anthony J. Tata was just appointed Under Secretary of Defense re Policy; this names him as a Member of the Board of Visitors to the United States Merchant Marine Academy. Hmmm.

If nothing else, Trump is an excellent "employee". Naturally he is far more than that, but a good employee works up until the day the job ends. And as far as Trump is concerned, that is 4 years from now :-). He is not the type to be a doomer or a do nothing.
