New trump admin setting itself up to be national security threat from the get go.

Trump ignores transition rules. It’s a ‘hostile takeover,’ ally says.


Since his victory, Trump has ignored many of the rules and practices intended to guide a seamless transfer of power and handover of the oversight of 2.2 million federal employees. Instead, the president-elect, who has pledged to fire thousands of civil servants and slash billions of dollars in spending, has so far almost fully cut out the government agencies his predecessors have relied on to take charge of the federal government.

Trump has yet to collaborate with the General Services Administration, which is tasked with the complex work of handing over control of hundreds of agencies, because he has not turned in required pledges to follow ethics rules. His transition teams have yet to set foot inside a single federal office.

In calls with foreign heads of state, Trump has cut out the State Department, its secure lines and its official interpreters.

As his team considers hundreds of potential appointees for key jobs, he’s so far declined to let the Federal Bureau of Investigation check for potential red flags and security threats to guard against espionage — instead relying on private campaign lawyers for some appointees and doing no vetting at all for others. Trump’s transition team is considering moving on his first day in office to give those appointees blanket security clearances, according to people familiar with the discussions who spoke on the condition of anonymity to disclose private conversations.

trumples would be melting down if a Dem did this. As he demanded with cabinet nominees not being vetted by the Senate, he wants all members of his admin to escape any review by handing them security clearances.

For those of you who dismissed what some of us had warned about, namely, trump's inclination to run the government like an autocrat, it's happening. Hate to say it, but we told you so.
THE ADMINISTRATIVE STATE ( Bloated bureaucracy full of minority, white hating feckless workers) TRIED TO KILL PRESIDENT ELECT TRUMP. We are at war with the Washington monster, why should he play NICE when they attacked him non-stop for 8 years ? You leftist normies want a "Civil" transition into THE SAME OLD BULLSHYT OLD BOYS NETWORK that most of the public want disassembled . There are hundreds of redundant agencies that were created by Bureaucrats for the sole purpose of establishing Mini fiefdoms for petty tyrants, they get more budget by having more people.
 
The outgoing president that saddled the new one with a very dangerous international debacle.

He didn’t invade Ukraine.

trump did everything he could to deprive Ukraine of aid.

Biden didn’t kill civilians in z Isreal. Anor did he promote the genocide that Israel unleashed.

So, it’s just stupid to blame him for it.
 
Seriously? The whole world heard it, loud and clear.


Since then, Trump used his ability to bully the GOP Congress into bottling up Ukranian military for over a year.

Thanks for the link.
Now where did Trump say he supports the Russian invasion of Ukraine?

You’re playing parsing games now. At a time when every world leader was condemning the Russian invasion and the Russians had to use their veto in the UN to prevent a resolution, this idiot is out in public praising Putin’s genius.

It was a ringing endorsement in that context. The world heard it, too. Sincecthen, Trump has not once failed to support Moscow’s interests. He followed up by saying that he didn’t care what Putin did in Ukraine, and endorsed the Russian annexation of Crimea.

/—-/ Putin didn’t dare attack Ukraine while Trump was in office. He waited for weakling Biden to get in.
