Trump’s plans for a second term include what he calls “the largest deportation in the history of our country.” He has expressed intentions to use local law enforcement and potentially the military for these deportations, despite legal restrictions on military use against civilians.
“We’re going to have the largest deportation in the history of our country. We have no choice.” – Donald Trump, Former President of the United States (R) and Current U.S. Presidential Candidate
The “Do Not Hire” List
Trump’s “do not hire” list includes notable figures such as John Bolton, Liz Cheney, and Nikki Haley, as well as organizations like Americans for Prosperity. This list reflects Trump’s prioritization of allegiance over policy alignments, aiming to forge an administration free from oppositional voices.
“In order to save time, money, and effort, it would be helpful if you would not send, or recommend to us, people who worked with, or are endorsed by, Americans for No Prosperity (headed by Charles Koch), ‘Dumb as a Rock’ John Bolton, ‘Birdbrain’ Nikki Haley, Mike Pence, disloyal Warmongers Dick Cheney, and his Psycho daughter, Liz, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, General(?) Mark Milley, James Mattis, Mark Yesper, or any of the other people suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, more commonly known as TDS. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” – the president-elect
The inclusion of mainline conservatives on this list indicates a clear political statement and reflects ongoing grudges. It also demonstrates Trump’s willingness to use his office to settle scores, raising concerns about the potential composition of a future Trump administration.
Conservative Preparation for a Trump Return
This initiative, described as a “government-in-waiting,” aims to consolidate power and remove obstacles that hindered Trump’s previous administration. It underscores the serious preparations being made for a second Trump term and the significant changes it could bring to the federal government structure.
Controversial Policies and Public Perception
Trump’s campaign rhetoric and policy proposals have drawn both support and criticism. His focus on anti-diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies has raised concerns among civil rights advocates. The ACLU has filed over 430 legal actions against the Trump administration, including lawsuits against anti-DEI policies. Trump’s “do not hire” list and policy proposals provide a glimpse into his vision for a second term.
