Trump ignores transition rules. It’s a ‘hostile takeover'

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

Why bother? Reading and writing are likely to be things of the past once the republicans are through dismantling the education system.

Four years.

Seems like he's already getting the bribery going and he hasn't even taken office.

An indication of what's to come, IMHO. Lawlessness and chaos.

This is a good first clue that Trump has no intention of even pretending to follow the law this time. And why should he? He knows he has immunity:

President-elect Donald J. Trump is keeping secret the names of the donors who are funding his transition effort, a break from tradition that could make it impossible to see what interest groups, businesses or wealthy people are helping launch his second term.

Mr. Trump has so far declined to sign an agreement with the Biden administration that imposes strict limits on that fund-raising in exchange for up to $7.2 million in federal funds earmarked for the transition. By dodging the agreement, Mr. Trump can raise unlimited amounts of money from unknown donors to pay for the staff, travel and office space involved in preparing to take over the government.

Mr. Trump is the first president-elect to sidestep the restrictions, provoking alarm among ethics experts.

Those seeking to curry favor with the incoming administration now have the opportunity to donate directly to the winning candidate without their names or potential conflicts ever entering the public sphere. And unlike with campaign contributions, foreign nationals are allowed to donate to the transition.

Trump Is Running His Transition Team on Secret Money

Breaking with past practice, President-elect Donald J. Trump has not agreed to disclose the donors paying for his planning effort or to limit their contributions.

Under U.S. law, the president-elect can keep the names of donors who support their transition team private. The Presidential Transition Act allows for the establishment of a transition team, and while the funding for these teams can come from private donations, there are no strict requirements for public disclosure of donor identities. This means that the president-elect has the discretion to keep donor information confidential, which has been a point of discussion and debate regarding transparency in the transition process.

The ability for a president-elect to keep donor information private can be seen as both a loophole and a matter of responsibility.

1. Loophole Perspective: Critics may argue that this lack of required disclosure creates a loophole that allows for potential influence or favoritism by undisclosed donors. It raises concerns about transparency and accountability in the transition process, as the public may not know who is financially supporting the incoming administration.

2. Responsibility Perspective: On the other hand, supporters might argue that it is the responsibility of the president-elect to manage their transition team and funding as they see fit. They may contend that the ability to keep donor information private allows for more flexibility in fundraising and can help ensure that the transition is adequately funded without the pressure of public scrutiny on individual donors.

Ultimately, the interpretation can vary based on one's perspective on transparency and the role of money in politics.

The big boss of NY times is liberal, of course. That wealthy family still doesn't like Trump or conservatives. lol.

Not even in office yet and Trump is already exhibiting contempt for our democratic institutions.

And as usual the reprehensible right attempts to defend the indefensible.

America's first 200 years were without a department of education and we built the greatest nation on earth during that time

Food for thought.

Exactly!

Just look at the destruction of public education in Chicago over the last 70 years
of complete Republican control.
