In very good news for those in the Make America Great Again movement who want to see now-President-Elect Donald Trump actually enact a MAGA agenda in domestic and foreign policy, rather than just going along with what the awful neocons want, he has announced that Nikki Haley will be kept out of his upcoming administration. Additionally, he noted that another neocon, Mike Pompeo, isn’t going to be invited back either.
Such is what the former president announced in a post on Truth Social, his privately-controlled Twitter alternative from back before Elon Musk bought X and made it welcoming to conservatives again. In it, he tried to play nice and say he enjoyed working with them in the past, but also made it clear that they’re not invited back.
Beginning the post, Trump noted that he is forming his new administration and has not and does not intend on inviting them back in, saying, “I will not be inviting former Ambassador Nikki Haley, or former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, to join the Trump Administration, which is currently in formation.”
Continuing, the President-Elect claimed that he liked working with them in the first administration and thanks them for all they have done, saying, “I very much enjoyed and appreciated working with them previously, and would like to thank them for their service to our Country. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Haley, for her part, posted a screenshot of the Truth Social post on X and was similarly positive, saying, “I was proud to work with President Trump defending America at the United Nations. I wish him, and all who serve, great success in moving us forward to a stronger, safer America over the next four years.”
Similarly, Mike Pompeo said, “Mr. President – I was proud to work with you too. As you said, when we were together last week, you and I built the plan that made the world safer & led to no new wars. America firmly rejected the Biden-Harris foreign policy agenda. We have a duty to put America First again.”
Pompeo also congratulated Trump on his electoral victory, saying, “Congratulations to @realDonaldTrump on a sweeping victory! Americans want a safe, secure, and prosperous future, and with a Republican Senate and (hopefully) a Republican House, Donald Trump will make it happen.”
The Mises Caucus of the Libertarian Party also commented on the matter. It posted on X, “#NoPompeo is currently top trending, which is phenomenal, but discussion about proposed Senate majority leaders is not far behind. While flawed, Rick Scott is far better than John Cornyn. Can we get #NoCornyn trending next?”
RFK Jr., who will be a member of the Trump Administration, criticized him for hiring Pompeo and another neocon, John Bolton, in a campaign speech, saying, “President Trump said he was going to drain the swamp, but then he brought John Bolton in to run the NSA, who’s like the template for swamp creatures. He brought Mike Pompeo in to run the State Department, who has the most bellicose and belligerent militarized foreign policy of any individual in our country.”
