No Swamp Loyalists: Trump Says He Has No Interest in Hiring Anyone Who Worked for Koch, Bolton, Pence, the Cheneys, Haley, Ryan, Romney, or Milley in His America-First Administration
Gateway Pundit ^ | January 16, 2025 | Staff

In a recent Truth Social post, President-elect Donald Trump declared his commitment to an administration free from swamp loyalists, explicitly excluding individuals associated with figures such as Charles Koch, “Dumb as a Rock” John Bolton, Mike Pence, the Cheneys, “Birdbrain” Nikki Haley, Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney, and General Mark Milley.

Trump announced that over 1,000 hires have been made, all exemplifying exceptional qualities aligned with his “America First” agenda.

He urged supporters to refrain from recommending individuals linked to those he deems afflicted by “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

Trump wrote:

“As of today, the incoming Trump Administration has hired over 1,000 people for The United States Government. They are outstanding in every way, and you will see the fruits of their labor over the coming years.

We will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and it will happen very quickly!

In order to save time, money, and effort, it would be helpful if you would not send, or recommend to us, people who worked with, or are endorsed by, Americans for No Prosperity (headed by Charles Koch), “Dumb as a Rock” John Bolton, “Birdbrain” Nikki Haley, Mike Pence, disloyal Warmongers Dick Cheney, and his Psycho daughter, Liz, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, General(?) Mark Milley, James Mattis, Mark Yesper, or any of the other people suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, more commonly known as TDS.

Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Trump’s bold declaration reflects a growing rift between the Republican establishment and the MAGA movement, which has grown weary of the career politicians and power brokers putting their interests ahead of the American people.

By explicitly rejecting any personnel connected to the names he listed, Trump signaled a no-compromise approach to staffing his administration with individuals fully committed to his agenda.

Trump’s Truth Social post quickly went viral, with MAGA supporters flooding the platform with praise for his unwavering commitment to draining the swamp.

There are plenty of people who worked for a short time for the Koch brothers who would be good hires, although mostly in the trades.

These were employees working for successful companies that were then acquired by Koch and then destroyed by Koch.

Koch calls it “creative destruction.” It is really nothing more than buying something that works and then burning it down. Trump is right to stay far away from former Koch executives.

It would be like hiring Charlie Manson as your spiritual adviser.

And that’s just a few atoms in a drop in the Swamp bucket.

But Elon, Vivek and JD? Peter Deep-State Thiel creations who are invested in the deadly mRNA tech.

It’s only a problem if the person not chosen because of their ties or previous ties is truly the best qualified for the job.

Trump left a bunch of obama people in place last time.....glad to hear it sounds like he learned from that.

Also, my wife says the Whitehouse and Naval Observatory both need to be fumigated and swept for listening devices.

I think he just means the Koch PAC - Prosperity for America or something like that.

I love how he makes those family names toxic rather something someone will want to brag about.

Don’t apply for a job in the Trump Administration if you get an endorsement from either George Bush or Tokyo Rove.

Mrs L worked, very briefly, for Koch. She left after a few weeks.

Horrible work environment.

I’ve got a real problem with this. Losers and those with conflicting national loyalties are going to be discriminated against. How can we be sure such minorities won’t be ignored?

Interesting that he did not include Bush in the list of names.
