Senior Trump advisers prepare to launch policy group

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: Politico

Senior advisers to President Donald Trump are preparing to launch a nonprofit group to promote the president’s policies once he leaves office, creating a landing spot for former Trump officials after the White House changes hands.

White House domestic policy adviser Brooke Rollins and National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow have been putting the organization together and are expected to be heavily involved once it gets off the ground. National Security adviser Robert O’Brien and former Energy Secretary Rick Perry are also among those likely to play roles.

Word of the yet-to-be-named outfit comes as top White House officials plot their futures and Trump’s post-presidential political apparatus gradually comes into focus, featuring a new PAC and potentially other entities as well. The new nonprofit group is expected to become a destination for many of the administration’s top policy advisers and Cabinet officials.

Kudlow has spoken about the nascent organization with the president, and senior White House adviser and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner has also been involved in the discussions.

His policies are:

1. To please Putin in everything he asks.
2. To play Golf every week-end paid for by tax payers.
3. To speak trash.
4. To talk about himself.
5. To eat hamburgers.
6. To shit in my diapers.
7. To talk about himself.
and we know the rest...

The gop will quickly stop paying trumps bills once he is out and in an all out war with them.

Mega donors won't want any part of it.

So who is going to pay these "Road" scholars?

for as much as possible. That will all represent money that will not be available to any other republican candidates for president or congress. Send all the money to Donald so he can just piss it away.

they and Trump split together.

A hideout, war room for future elections.

It's its own hellscape masquerading as political "policy."
But it's really the hole Trumpfascism stews in.

The alt-right lies live on, legitimizing the 71 million who've believed them, and fascist Big Corps who'll fund them.
