Trump Is Running His Transition Team on Secret Money

Sunday, November 24, 2024

Breaking with past practice, President-elect Donald J. Trump has not agreed to disclose the donors paying for his planning effort or to limit their contributions.

Yup.

Who, or what, entities are contributing to the Trump transition team to get the results they desire?

Pres-elect Trump seems to be quite susceptible to bending towards sources of money.

So, yeah, this is a great question to ask...

Who or what are buying influence from the Trump transition team?

And, as a follow-up...

Why does this deviation with history seem to have been given a pass from the GOP? I mean the GOP had proffered itself as wanting to restore the past.

Better get used to it. The lawbreaking hasn't began in earnest yet. This is still "warm ups".

@#3 ... The lawbreaking hasn't began in earnest yet. ...

Can you say, "Presidential immunity?"

I knew you could.

People are idiots to depend on a billionaire's patriotism. Things don't work for them in one place they just leave for another.

It is already a matter of cowardice and lawlessness in action for GOPers who are OK with King Dotard II court jesters not having FBI background checks. Why not? Because he is the king and these checks are for Dem administration members only. So say those who wanted to impeach Obama for wearing a tan suit ...

#5 and #6 You need Santa to bring you two a pallet of crying towels for the next 4 years. And speaking of Obama, wasn't he the one who said "elections have consequences"? In other words if you were the loser in the election he was saying STFU.

FishPus is right; the consequences of this election include a Pres Elect who cares not for the Law, as he sees himself as King and Dictator, above the laws of the land.

And Trumper Cultists are just fine with that.

Well. It sure didn't work in you for the last four years did it? . You never STFU.

Why would you think it will be any different for anyone in the minority party during the next four years?

You think republicans will just get a free ride now?

Well as long as republicans keep getting that secret money so they are not accountable maybe they can!

Secret Money is the Best kind of Money!

Jack Smith just dismissed his BS Jan 6 lawfare against Trump. So much winning. Trump was totally exonerated of all charges by a jury of 77 million!

So much winning.

The smelly------------- killed 1.2 million Americans. So much winning.
