Had Donald Trump embarked on his second term in 2021, we would be looking back at almost 8 years of a Trump presidency. The left would be happy that “orange man” would finally be out of Washington. Instead, we find ourselves looking to an upcoming second Trump term. This was after the former president wielded some influence on the GOP since 2021. Trump means business. A look at his cabinet picks reflects Trump’s ambition to cut down on government waste, to increase efficiency, to reduce the bureaucracy, and to hold people accountable who otherwise would get away with punishable acts.<\/p>\n

Dan Eberhart, an oil drilling chief executive officer and a prominent Republican donor and bundler who raised big bucks for Trump’s 2020 and 2024 campaigns, noted that Trump is in a very different situation than he was eight years ago, when he first won the White House.<\/p>\n

“He’s got a stronger mandate because he won the popular vote, and he won all seven swing states,” Eberhart emphasized. “I also think he knows what he wants, and he knows better how to get what he wants out of Washington. He’s going to have a more cohesive, more MAGA team, that’s hopefully able to accomplish more.”<\/p>\n

A leading strategist in Trump’s political orbit, who asked to remain anonymous to speak more freely, told Fox News that “one thing that is noticeable this time around is that instead of a team of rivals who are all over the place ideologically, Trump is largely bringing people on who are aligned with his America First agenda.”<\/p>\n

Matt Mowers, a veteran Republican consultant and 2020 GOP congressional nominee in New Hampshire who worked on Trump’s 2016-2017 transition and served in the first Trump administration, told Fox News that Trump has “decided he needs everyone aligned.”<\/p>\n

“What he’s doing is he’s choosing a lot of people who aren’t just going to undo the Biden polices but really try to take a hammer to the bureaucracy… which is what he calls the ‘deep state,'” Mowers added.<\/p>\n

Those whom the president-elect feels have not shown their loyalty to him appear to be iced out.<\/p>\n

Trump this past weekend announced in a social media post that he would not ask former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley – who served as ambassador to the U.N. in his first administration – and former Rep. Mike Pompeo of Kansas – who served as CIA director and then Secretary of State in Trump’s first term – to join his incoming cabinet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
