What's with all the right wing think tanks salivating over another trump term?

[berg80]

Meet the think tank planning a second Trump administration. (It’s not Project 2025.)​

Planning for a second Donald Trump White House has been years in the making.

Key members of the former Trump administration diaspora have been quietly poring over Biden administration regulations, interviewing hundreds of former officials, and drafting executive actions for the launch of Trump’s next term if he wins. The goal: Stand up a professionalized administration that can move quickly to undo President Joe Biden’s legacy, avoiding the chaos that bogged down the Trump team after 2016.

It’s not the high-profile Project 2025 initiative from the Heritage Foundation, which has drawn condemnation from Trump — and become a bogeyman for the left. The transition planning is coming, instead, from a different conservative think tank: America First Policy Institute.

That planning has taken place largely outside the official Trump campaign, whose own transition planning is months behind the schedule of his first bid for the White House. But Trump and top aides are aware of the outside effort, and many Republicans view it as a key supplement to the formal Trump transition effort, as long as it stays out of the spotlight — and avoids angering Trump.
The America First Policy Institute, filled with Trump loyalists and insiders, was blessed by Trump before it was founded in 2021. Its CEO, Brooke Rollins, has had a close relationship with Trump for years and has discussed the think tank’s transition plans with him, according to two people familiar with the meeting; this month, the former president named the group’s board chair, Linda McMahon, to co-lead the official transition team.

Is it happening because they know trump is a vapid tool who can't think for himself? Or because they know he doesn't care about the details of policy as much as going to rallies, being patted on the head, and gathering cabinet members so they can regurgitate the compliments trump's staff has written out for them?


The Federalist Society, the Heritage Foundation, and America First Policy Institute appears ready to impose an extremist's wet dream wish list of initiatives designed to set the country back to the advantage of a narrow constituency of the rich and powerful.

If the polls are to be believed it may amount to a lot of wasted effort.

Imagine how massively insecure one needs to be that he had to resort to orchestrating a circle jerk of praise to satisfy his ego. Even when he knew it was staged.

You are hilarious. This ^^ from the guy who is backing the failed VP who can't conduct a friendly media interview without her nobody VP candidate to muzzle her. LMAO.

[DigitalDrifter]

You guys are so lucky your opponent is Trump.

Nearly anyone else would mop the floor with Kumalla. She is not a strong candidate, and even needs a man to hold her hand in the DNC infomercial that will be airing as an actual 'interview'.

Whoever didn't show up to drool for a taste of Trump's overfed fat lazy ass would have been out the door by COB that day.

Money talks.

I don't agree.
DeSantis is conservative, and would have made a very strong leader, and at this stage of the campaign, would have a solid lead against the very weak Kumalla.
Don't get me wrong, I will be voting for Trump, but we could have made our job much easier.
