Trump doesn’t want xiden fund or services in aiding with the transitionHe's breaking the law.
In a highly unprecedented move, President-elect Donald Trump is holding up the presidential transition process by refusing to provide the legally required ethics pledge.
The Presidential Transition Act requires the president-elect to sign an ethics agreement that applies to everyone on the transition team and includes a pledge vowing to avoid conflicts of interest once sworn into office.
Who is going to enforce the law? A DoJ run by Matt Gaetz?
And so it begins.

Perhaps you need to read more slowly in order to comprehend. He......is.....in....violation....of......the.....law.
The transition also sets the tone for the administration’s approach to transparency, accountability and public trust — which is why it is so essential that this team pledges to ensure their duties are carried out with the public’s interest in mind.
It is unclear exactly why Trump has not signed the agreement or shared who has contributed to the transition efforts; however, his most recent financial disclosure reports point to one potential reason.
Trump has a number of holdings that raise significant conflict of interest concerns: including his new cryptocurrency business, majority stake in the social media network Truth Social, real estate properties, books, and licensing deals.
The law requires it if he wants funding and services for the transition
At this point he doesn’t
Yeah you need to read a little more about it.

Actually, I don't. You need to understand the reason he hasn't signed the pledge is so he can avoid having to comply with the ethics requirements.
Third, the transition team may refuse to adhere to any ethics standards at all, effectively choosing to operate with no transparency into or accountability for possible conflicts of interest. This path has little precedent in modern history
The president-elect already signaled his refusal to adhere to robust ethics requirements by failing to provide the public with a timely ethics code for the transition team as required by the Presidential Transition Act.
Both major party presidential candidates were required to establish ethics plans for their transition teams by October 1. Trump blew through that deadline.
Missing the first ethics requirement in the path to the Oval Office is a concerning premonition of what ethics enforcement could look like under a second Trump administration.
It is especially concerning given Trump’s flippant attitude toward and blatant disregard of ethics laws and norms required to sustain public trust.
The reason he hasn't is he hasn't come to an agreement with the Xiden team. As a majority of the country said the other week, they are corrupt and can't be trusted.

Friend of Don Jr.’s Who Hawks Trump Merch To Run White House Personnel Office
It takes all kinds to make the incoming Trump administration. You have now former Rep. Matt Gaetz, investigated but never charged on allegations of sex trafficking, the anti-China and Iran hardliner Rep. Mike Waltz, the easy-on-the-eyes TV personality Pete Hegseth, and onetime Assad sympathizer Tulsi Gabbard.
The shared quality is loyalty, and the extreme demonstration of it: unending flattery of Trump.
In that respect, Sergio Gor fits right in.
Gor is on tap to lead the White House Personnel Office, which recruits and vets political appointees for the new administration.
After spending more than a decade as a staffer for hard-right congressional Republicans — Gor previously worked for former Reps. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) and Steve King (R-IA), then for Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) — Gor made a very MAGA move into Trumpworld, becoming a professional embosser and gilder of the Trump name.
In 2021, he founded a publishing company along with Donald Trump Jr. that sells a series of Trump-themed books that range in price from $74.99 to a “bundle pack” for $999.99.

Here's something else to shrug your shoulders at.
I wonder what talking points memo said when Nancy P ignored the president and flew to Syria to have tea with Assad?

Trump Picks Brendan Carr to Lead F.C.C.
President-elect Donald J. Trump on Sunday chose Brendan Carr to be chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, naming a veteran Republican regulator who has publicly agreed with the incoming administration’s promises to slash regulation, go after Big Tech and punish TV networks for political bias.
Trump Picks Brendan Carr to Lead F.C.C.
Mr. Carr, who currently sits on the commission and is a vocal critic of Big Tech, has said the agency should regulate the tech industry.
Will there be any federal agency left that hasn't been corrupted when trump is done?
Slash regulation and "go after" companies for political bias? How does that work exactly? One of these things is not like the other.
In order for revenge to be on the table, there has to be something for which to take revenge. Think on that for a moment.

Mr. Carr, who currently sits on the commission, is expected to shake up a quiet agency that licenses airwaves for radio and TV, regulates phone costs, and promotes the spread of home internet. Before the election, Mr. Trump indicated he wanted the agency to strip broadcasters like NBC and CBS of their licensing for unfair coverage.
