Report: Trump Team Orders Cabinet Nominees to Cease Social Media Posts Ahead of Confirmation Hearings
Breitbart ^ | 12/30/2024 | HANNAH KNUDSEN

President-elect Donald Trump’s team is ordering cabinet nominees to cease all social media posts ahead of their confirmation hearings, according to reports.

The New York Post first reported this directive, noting that Susie Wiles, Trump’s former campaign manager and incoming chief of staff, sent out the order on Sunday. In the memo, she also noted that none of the nominees speak for Trump.

“While this instruction has been delivered previously, I am reiterating that no member of the incoming administration or Transition speaks for the United States or the President-elect himself,” Wiles wrote, urging nominees to “refrain from any public social media posts without prior approval of the incoming White House counsel.”

The question is: Will X postings help get through confirmations? Answer: NO

I wish all of them had trained PR people working WITH them to release TIMED and CALCULATED statements as opposed to saying things on a whim or responding in the heat of emotion!

“Censorship already ?”

Hopefully so, as the Constitution only permits ONE President.

Not censorship - but giving legacy media hyenas less to gnaw and cackle over. Some battles are not worth fighting. Some distract and deter from the real fight.

All this time, I was expecting RFK jr to be the undisciplined blabbermouth, in need of choke leashing and muzzling.

Not censorship. Just “If you want a job in my administration, put a lid on it until you get confirmed.”
