The first term for President Donald Trump was subverted by bad people in places of power. Even Trump himself has admitted he put the wrong people in some of the most important rolls in his first administration.
This time, it should be different. He’s no longer a political novice getting advice from The Swamp on how to drain itself. He’s seen the duplicity of those he once considered allies, which is why he proactively and publicly declined to include NeoCon Nikki Haley and Deep State Mike Pompeo in his second administration.
These are good moves, but it’s not enough. The rats are everywhere. This is Washington DC, after all, and rats are attracted to the nation’s capital like morbidly obese people are attracted to a Chinese buffet.
At least one man close to President Trump is going to fight to keep the NeoCons out. In fact, nobody other than Melania can get closer to the President than Donald Trump Jr.
Comedian Dave Smith issued a warning on 𝕏:
The “stop Pompeo” movement is great but it’s not enough. Right now we need maximum pressure to keep all neocons and war hawks out of the Trump administration. They have had their time at the table and brought nothing but disaster to the world and this country.
America First: screw the war machine!
Don Jr. replied:
Agreed💯💯💯!!! I’m on it.
Don Jr. has previously stated that the only real roll he wants in the next Trump administration is helping pick the people who will surround his father. He wants to be the gatekeeper and few people have greater incentives to keep the rats out of the White House than he does. Whether he wants to solidify his father’s place in history, save America from The Swamp, or prepare for his own political future (it’s all three), it behooves him to make sure the administration is loaded with people loyal to the nation and to his father.
There may be nobody better suited for the job. Perhaps more so than even his father, Don Jr. has his finger on the pulse of rumblings from the MAGA base. He talks often with MAGA influencers and has more freedom to engage with them behind the scenes than his father who is insulted as a necessity of his position.
Between new Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Don Jr., and the transition team, the personnel mistakes of the first administration are on track to be greatly reduced for the second. You can’t Drain The Swamp with people who have a vested interest in keeping it full. Trump’s second administration should be able to start off with the right people in the right places.
