Trump Does End Run Around Official Transfer of Power System
Timothy Birdnow
Wise policy if you ask me.
Trump ignores transition rules. It’s a ‘hostile takeover,’ ally says
Anything Trump does to "work" with them will only be used to sabotage him. He's now refusing to involve any of the agencies normally employed to transition power. He knows what he is doing.
From the article:
Who can blame him? They will leak to the press, use what they learn to throw a monkey wrench into the works, and generally try to dog Mr. Trump as they did last time.
Of course the Democrats will no doubt use this as grounds for impeachment if they take Congress in '28.
This is going to be a political armageddon, as Charlie Kirk observed.

From the article:
Since his victory, Trump has ignored many of the rules and practices intended to guide a seamless transfer of power and handover of the oversight of 2.2 million federal employees. Instead, the president-elect, who has pledged to fire thousands of civil servants and slash billions of dollars in spending, has so far almost fully cut out the government agencies his predecessors have relied on to take charge of the federal government.
Trump has yet to collaborate with the General Services Administration, which is tasked with the complex work of handing over control of hundreds of agencies, because he has not turned in required pledges to follow ethics rules. His transition teams have yet to set foot inside a single federal office.
In calls with foreign heads of state, Trump has cut out the State Department, its secure lines and its official interpreters.
