President-elect Donald Trump is taking decisive action to prevent internal sabotage in his upcoming administration by blacklisting individuals linked to disloyal political figures. Trump announced on Truth Social that anyone associated with establishment Republicans like former Vice President Mike Pence, former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley and others will not be considered for executive branch roles.
Trump’s firm stance follows his experience during his first term, where insiders with establishment ties undermined key policies. By barring allies of figures like Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney and John Bolton, Trump is ensuring his second administration will be free from obstruction. This proactive approach is a major step toward fully implementing the America-first agenda.

Trump reported that more than 1,000 political positions have already been filled with loyal and qualified individuals. “They are outstanding in every way, and you will see the fruits of their labor over the coming years,” he stated. This carefully selected team will be instrumental in advancing policies that prioritize American workers and national security.

This is a great sign from the new Trump PPO office.
Remember what I said during the primary and people mocked me for it? I said there was a blacklist.
It’s real.
Lots of people are now in the “find out” phase as a result of their disloyalty. https://t.co/2hKC750UiI

Blocking establishment operatives is essential for preventing the mistakes of Trump’s first term. Pence’s political group, Advancing American Freedom, has actively opposed Trump’s key nominations. Nikki Haley, despite endorsing Trump, continues to advocate for policies that clash with his America-first vision.

In 2016, Trump appointed Haley as UN ambassador, where she had an opportunity to make a difference. She quit after two years and has done nothing but bad mouth him for six years.

Trump’s blacklist is not about personal feuds but about ensuring unwavering loyalty to the conservative agenda. By cutting ties with those who have previously worked against him, Trump can move forward without interference from political insiders.
