Summary
Trump’s transition team is reportedly mired in infighting at Mar-a-Lago, with factions clashing over control and strategy for his return to the White House.
The Washington Post detailed heated disputes, including shouting matches, name-calling, and physical altercations.
Three key factions have emerged: one led by Donald Trump Jr. and JD Vance, another by Trump ally Susie Wiles, and a third by Linda McMahon.
High-profile confrontations involve figures like Boris Epshteyn, Elon Musk, and Vance, highlighting tensions over Cabinet picks and leaks, further fracturing the team.
I feel like if we’re to get out of this unscathed it’ll be because of this kind of infighting. AntiMAGA people in gov’t should find as many ways to stir the pot as they can.
EDIT: y’all - definitely agree that we’re not getting out of this unscathed, you can quit pointing out my poor choice of words
We’re not getting out of this unscathed.
The infighting and arguing is, at best, the grifters trying to secure the best grift for themselves at the expense of everyone else.
No you’re right, even if it’s just chaos and infighting for the next four years we’re all going to suffer
These people are so mature and well adjusted that this could be accomplished by simply walking up to Trump and saying “did you hear what Vance said about you last night?” and then walking up to Vance and saying “did you hear what Elon said about you?” and then asking Elon “did you hear what Don Jr said about you?” No elaboration, let their “imaginations” run wild.
There is probably at least one troll doing exactly that lol
Honestly if I had the influence required id worm my way in just to do that. It emphasizes factionalism and forces them at eachothers throats.
We didn’t get out unscathed last time. The fucker got
23 SCOTUS appointments and whole mess of lower judges.No chance we’re fine after this one either.
Three scotus picks
Fuck I forgot.
Switch up “unscathed” for “have some kind of functional country with a democracy not particularly worse than what we’ve had”.
Start building unions, mutual aid, and other grassroots political support. It’s time to start getting out of our post-election shock and turn frustration into action.
