Howard Lutnick, co-chair of Trump’s transition team, says potential appointees are ‘all going to be on the same side’

A senior official on Donald Trump’s campaign has said any appointees in a second Trump administration would need to prove “fidelity and loyalty”.

The official also sought to distance the former president from Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation plan calling for a far-right federal government in the event of a Trump victory at the voting polls in November.

Howard Lutnick, the chief executive officer of Wall Street firm Cantor Fitzgerald and co-chairperson of the former president’s transition team, told the Financial Times that appointees to any second Trump administration are "all going to be on the same side, and they’re all going to understand the policies, and we’re going to give people the role based on their capacity – and their fidelity and loyalty to the policy, as well as to" Trump.

    Totally normal.

    Totally normal in organized crime syndicates. Bending the knee also features prominently in Game of Thrones.

    The Nazis sure did like fucking things up, I can’t imagine how this will be any different. Lord I hope he doesn’t win and I hope that the inevitable y’all-queida response to him losing gets crushed quick.

    We just finished the latest season of The Boys, and I have to wonder if any republicans are watching this TV show and how they feel about it. Are they rooting for Homelander? Do they see the link with today’s republicans? Did it change their view? I’d really like to know.
