Donald Trump Jr. is leading an effort to compile a list of people who would be banned from serving in a second Trump administration, according to a report.

The list includes people associated with Project 2025, first-term staffers who resigned in protest after the Capitol insurrection on Jan. 6 and people who lack loyalty to former President Donald Trump said two former Trump officials Politically.

The list is similar to the “enemy list” compiled by staff in President Richard Nixon’s administration. It was a survey of the Republicans’ main political opponents, compiled by White House Counsel Charles Colson and written by Special Assistant to the President George Bell.

The list compiled by the Trump transition team suggests a second Trump administration is likely to shun the establishment Republicans who thwarted Trump’s agenda at times during his first term. The Trump team appears eager to work around the fluctuations and leaks that occurred during the first stint.

Trump Jr., the honorary chairman of the transition team, was responsible for compiling the list, a former Trump official said Politico.

“Apparently people working on Project 2025 are blacklisted,” another former official told the outlet.

But the project is supported by more than 100 conservative organizations and it remains unclear whether a potential Trump administration would be able to maintain the ban if it wins.

Myron Ebell led Trump’s transition to the Environmental Protection Agency in 2016 Politically that it was a “good idea” to keep such a list.

“During the first Trump transition, I had a typed sheet that I didn’t have electronically that I gave to the people in HR that said ‘Over my dead body,'” he added. “The list got longer and longer as I thought of more people.”

Some who worked in George W. Bush’s administration were added to the list, with Ebell describing them as “soft green Republicans.” He said others on the list were anti-Trump, even if they didn’t say so publicly.

Ebell said Politically that banning people associated with Project 2025 was a “political tactic” and not a “permanent ban.”

He noted that such a ban could exclude “many highly qualified pro-Trump people” from the campaign. Each new government must appoint about 4,000 people to fill federal positions.

Trump campaign communications director Steven Cheung told the media outlet that the former president had announced a transition “leadership group” to “begin the process of preparing for what comes after the election and selecting the best people for his Cabinet.” .”

Earlier this month, Trump transition co-chair Howard Lutnick told the New York Post that a second Trump in the White House would not appoint members of the conservative political platform Project 2025, which he described as “radioactive.”

Trump himself has tried to distance himself from the project, with Democrats arguing that his policies are more extreme than some might think.

Lutnick said it too Financial Times that possible candidates would have to show “fidelity” and “loyalty” to the former president and his agenda.

Trump Jr. said The Wall Street Journal that the transition team was trying to prevent “the bad actors from getting in.”

“There are a lot of people who put the R next to their name, but then they do whatever the swamp wants because they’re looking for the next consulting job or something,” he added. “We do a lot of checking. “My job is to prevent these people from choosing more than actually selecting them,” Trump Jr. claimed.

A person who worked on the 2016 Trump transition recounted it Politically“It’s not unusual in D.C. to have a roster of sassy and nice people.”
