Trump Planning Massive Power Grab With Army Of Tens Of Thousands Of Loyalists

Allies of Donald Trump have been vigorously screening applicants so that they can amass an "army" of roughly 54,000 loyalists to help take over the government if Trump wins election next year. This is an unprecedented move, and it shows that Republicans across the spectrum are looking for a full takeover of the government - not just reclaiming The White House for another four years. This news should terrify everyone, as Farron Cousins explains.

Allies of Donald Trump in a project known as Project 2025 are currently in the process of pre-screening thousands of Trump loyalists to make sure that they're actually Trump loyalists so that they can serve in a Trump administration should Donald Trump win in 2024? This is not hyperbole, this is not a conspiracy theory, folks. This is a real thing that is currently happening because the people doing it admitted as much recently to reporters at Axios. Let me read you this from Axios. Hundreds of people are spending tens of millions of dollars to install a pre-vetted pro-Trump army of up to 54,000 loyalists across government to rip off the restraints imposed on the previous 46 presidents. The screening for ready to serve loyalists has already begun, driven in part by artificial intelligence from tech Giant Oracle contracted for the project. Social media histories are already being plumbed. Trump himself spends little time plotting government plans, but he is well aware of a highly coordinated campaign to be ready to jam government offices with loyalists willing to stretch traditional boundaries.

Now, they wanna put these people in legal, judicial, defense, regulatory and domestic policy jobs. Um, it's, it's called Agenda 47 or Project 2025, depending on who you're asking here. Uh, Rudy Giuliani is one of the people leading this along with the Heritage Foundation. Other people. Project 2025 gets muscle from 80 sponsors, including Turning Point USA, led by MAGA star Charlie Kirk, the Center for Renewing America, headed by former Trump Budget Director Ross Fout and American American mo. Uh, moment focused on young believers for junior positions. Um, it also has the America First Policy Institute led by Brooke Rollins. Uh, so yeah.

And the people, again, doing this, admitted that this is what we're doing. We are screening these people. We're looking through their social media histories. We're making sure we're not getting any pretenders. We're only getting the diehard MAGA freaks. 54,000 of them is their goal. And these will be the people installed in government from top to bottom. We're not just talking about, okay, they're gonna replace your, your mail carrier with a Trump loyalist. We're talking about the people who work desk jobs at the Department of Justice at the EPA, at OSHA in the Department of Education. And in the White House itself. We're talking about higher ups. We're talking about people with law degrees to serve as lawyers for the Department of Justice. And of course, they're looking for the people to run these departments as well. So again, from the top to the bottom, stacking these agencies, the ones who are capable of putting

Restraints on the president, stacking them with loyalists who will not tell Trump no. Now, long before this project came to light, this was something that everybody in this industry had been warning you about, that if Donald Trump ever got back in office, he has learned from his mistakes and he will not put a single person in power that has the ability to even tell 'em no. He will make sure that if he goes up to them and says, Hey, my term's about to end and I'm term limited, but I don't wanna leave the White House, figure that out for me. He's gonna have somebody that will say, yes sir, I'm on it. I'll assemble a team and we'll make sure that on January 20th of, uh, what would that be, 20, 29. You don't have to leave. It's all you. We'll cancel the election. If we have to.

We'll find a way to do it. That is the goal of these people. This is not to just make sure we get conservative policies. We want more tax cuts. That ain't what this is, folks. This is laying the groundwork for Donald Trump to become a dictator here in the United States. A hundred percent. That is the goal. You don't go through these Herculean efforts if you're not expecting more than four years out of it, okay? You don't spend tens of millions of dollars to just have a couple fun years.
