President Trump Announces 2025 Transition Team

He was new to the game in 2016. Hopefully, he'll give every potential person a second look this time. It's politics and not business.

Infuriating Democrats every step of the way... this is going to trigger them in a huge way. Can't wait to hear the Dem caterwauling over Trump being "overly optimistic," with childish cries of, "He has to win it first!"

A cautionary note about what we are up against. The other day I initiated a rare political discussion with a relative I like. Salt-of-the-earth guy, a tradesman, and interested in the election. I didn't know where he stood re Trump and Harris; curious, I asked. He said he would not have voted for Biden, intending to sit this one out because he despises Trump. Now he'll vote for Harris. I had no intention of getting into an argument but felt compelled to ask if he knew who Harris is, her background, her positions in the past, e. g., mandatory gun buyback, fracking, the border, and so on. Sort of, he said. But his disdain for Trump made everything else irrelevant. Why? Because he thought Trump is a blowhard who bears responsibility for the J6 riots. He listened to what I said in response, but I knew he was locked into his viewpoint and wouldn't budge. I thought about this conversation afterwards. Why is he oblivious to what a Harris presidency would mean for him and his family, for the nation? He tries to stay current and he's not dumb. You can guess: he gets his news from the lamestream media and thinks it's gospel. He isn't aware they shape/omit the news to push their agenda. We tend to think that DJT will blow the other side away, that nobody outside the Dem base could possibly go for Harris. But I wonder, how many millions of uninformed, under informed, and /misinformed voters are out there, and will they take us all of the cliff?

(Good MORNING, Sagman.) My relative is in lockstep with yours. Except my relative is 97, has a very high IQ, and lives in Swampville. If we discuss politics, and we usually don’t, he always asks my “source” for anything I tell him. HIS sources are: WaPo, NBCABCCBSNPR, and occasionally, the Times. I don’t know if he realizes he is being manipulated, or he hates PDJT that much. My small, optimistic consolation to the general concern is that now, more than ever, alternative news sources are available. AND, everyone has been negatively affected by the policies of the husk currently sitting behind the Resolute Desk. Those 2 facts keep me hopeful. But if things go south, we’re done. Pray.

The President was wise to get out in front and assemble a transition team now. However, I take #3's story seriously at the same time. The msm has been preying on the minds of all Americans for a long time. Unfortunately, there is no end in sight. Our public education system has made it so. Shaping opinion in the minds of Americans now comes at an early age. In the eyes of the msm and the education system, ignorance is their friend. Individualism is their enemy. Consequently, people hear what they want to hear and ignore what they don't want to hear. The political views of one of my daughter-in -laws is similar #3's relative. It's all about hate trump and J6. She will vote dim not because she prefers Kamalie, but because she hates Trump. Several other L.Dotters have recently commented that a massive voter turnout will be required to push Trump over the finish line. This is because the invasion of illegals from the southern border many of whom will be allowed to register to vote will bring millions more votes to Kamalie and down-ballot candidates. The dims' ballot-harvesting machine is locked and loaded. But the RNC has assembled a ballot-harvesting and poll-watching machine of its own. Expect anything between today and election day. As one example, the WHO's mpox global emergency. How convenient. A possible terrorist attack resulting in delaying the election? Who knows. The minds of all Americans will be under severe assault by the msm and SM. This all being said, I remain cautiously optimistic that Donald J. Trump will be sworn into office in January 2025.

Excellent idea...this time he knows the players...no hidden rinos to mess with his plans...I think this is a good plan because he will go into the White House with his guard up...and no lying Ryan to mess with his choices....no wonder the democrats are having nervous breakdowns...and ole Joe is shaking up the obama cabal to the core....wonder what he has planned....

Let none of us forget the spectre of the judge's threat to sentence Trump in September. They still have wrenches to throw in the gears.

Agree completely Sagman, poster #3. How anyone can like 4-5 dollar gasoline vs. 2-2.50 dollar gasoline, or 5 dollar box of cereal vs. 2-3 dollar box of cereal, wide open borders to closed borders, truth vs. falsehoods, is simply beyond me. I do not understand the hatred of Trump to the point of voting for someone who will destroy you. I do not get it. This is not like a football game . . . my team is better than yours and I want to be on the winning side. This is about survival.

CNN, MSNBC and the lying media spews Trump hatred 24/7 and they eat it up. How many millions do you think watches the View every day and thrives on what they throw up. Just remember the George Floyd riots and BLM and how many participated. I think we are in a world of hurt at election time, which ever way it goes.

It doesn't take much to make us go "all wobbly", does it? Mrs. Thatcher knew that. One or two anecdotal reports of anti-Trumpers appear to make us shake in our shoes. Create doubt. That is so Republican.

It's not doubt. It's being realistic. We need to double and redouble our efforts to stymie DemonicRat cheating and get the legitimate vote out. Dan Bongino says everyone should take ten people with them to the polls. Ten is the minimum.

I think many voters who despise Trump were still not willing to vote for Biden. Now that Kamala has been handed the Dem candidate position these same people seem willing to vote for her, paying no attention to her past stated policies and doctrine. Very short sighted on their part to vote against their own best interests. As a woman I hate to admit it but a majority of these voters are most likely women. Why do women vote with their emotions?

When it is personal vs. policy, it is far easier to go the lazy way and judge on personal trivia - not liking the cut of someone's jib- rather than analyze policies. The TV outlets mentioned feed that laziness.

Why would a Conservative "despise" Trump? What could he have done to engender such a strong emotional feeling in someone ostensibly on the same side ? As for women, the smartest women I know (one a former Dem) have been all in ror him since 2016. A doctor, a teacher, a psychologist...

"We need to double and redouble our efforts to stymie DemonicRat cheating and get the legitimate vote out" Yes. That is positive and proactive. We know we are up against shameless power-hungry cheaters. I have a problem when we engage in pearl-clutching...

#3 is the voice of reason. 90% of my family is conservative and will vote for Trump, even though some wish he'd tone it down a little and stick to policy more than insults. The 10% have been around the conservative family members all of their life and will never vote for Trump or any other Republican. They also won't look at Fox or any conservative news. The rest of us shake our heads and wonder what happened to them. Different reasons, but mostly we think they just don't have any common sense and one family member mainly loves Democrats because of the freebies. He'd rather have the handouts and not have to do hard work to get ahead. It's always been "the economy, stupid," but that won't sway the far left. Let's hope it sways the independents.

Had an experience similar to #3 a few days ago. Ran into an old friend who only wants to talk politics when SHE'S doing the talking, with talking points exclusively from CNN. Hates Trump violently and holds him responsible for J6. When I brought up the BLM riots, she suddenly wants to 'look forward, not backward.' She says Trump will be Hitler if he wins, although she couldn't explain that or cite any examples of his Hitler-like behavior. When I noted that current policies were hurting me and many others I know, she literally sneered, 'How are they hurting you?' I asked her if she'd been to a grocery store lately, and she said, sure she goes all the time, as if food prices are not an issue. She also sneeringly asked, what news do you watch, Fox? I replied that I watched Fox some but had many sources for my news. (She seemed visibly confused at the idea that one could have more than one news source.) This is a woman in her mid-80s; she and her husband have old-style pensions which apparently are protecting them from the current day-to-day economic realities. She is a total ignoramus when it comes to knowing what is going on in the world, which is always apparent in any conversation with her. She made the statement that we shouldn't discuss politics, that I was her friend and that was all that mattered. The thing is, I don't think I AM her friend, and I sort of hope not to run into her again any time soon. The fact that she gets to air her political views while not allowing me to air mine, coupled with the fact that she is too lazy to truly seek the facts as she cavalierly wrecks my freedom and my country, pretty much torpedos our friendship. I have quite a few friends and co-workers like this-- I can only pray that there are many who are keeping their mouths shut but voting for Trump. (Although God only knows what we'll have to put up with if Trump wins.)

#17, well spoken, ma'am. Let us stick to our guns and preserve the United States of America, as founded. I can't even discuss politics with my own kids. I don't know what contaminated them. The schools? SM? The msm?

The appointment of this team , had to drive Ms Harris crazy.
