That’s the word….
Does ANYONE actually believe it?
Donald Trump’s transition team is reportedly preparing a blacklist of potential officials to be banned from a future administration, with special emphasis being placed on those with links to the radical Project 2025 plan to overhaul the US government.
The former president’s eldest son, Donald Jr, is spearheading the drive to compile the list of barred staffers, according to Politico, citing a former official in the first Trump administration.
“Clearly people working on Project 2025 are blacklisted,” another ex-official told the site.
The Republican nominee publicly disowned the 922-page document, prepared by the Heritage Foundation thinktank, after polls showed that its ideologically driven prescriptions – including mass firings of civil servants and plans to outlaw abortion – were an electoral liability.
Many of its leading architects, including its former director, Paul Dans, served in Trump’s administration. Dans has since been critical of some of the Republican candidate’s senior campaign aides for their role in influencing his decision to distance himself from the project.
Others excluded will be those who resigned in protest over the January 6 insurrection, when a Trump-inspired mob attacked the US Capitol in a failed bid to stop Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election.
Some of Trump’s most senior officials resigned from the administration in its final days in protest over the episode, which at the time was widely – and wrongly – thought to herald the end of his political career. They included the education secretary, Betsy DeVos; Mick Mulvaney, the former White House chief of staff; and Elaine Chao, the former transportation secretary and wife of Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader in the Senate.
Exclusion orders will also be slapped on those perceived as disloyal. Trump has repeatedly made plain that he considers loyalty to be the prime quality in picking top staff members…..
