What A 2nd Trump Term Will Look Like

In the event of a second term bid by former President Trump, there’s a growing concern that his administration could be staffed with fervent loyalists dedicated to advancing his agenda, potentially without the checks and balances seen in his first term.

Critics, some of whom worked closely with Trump, worry that a second administration under him might lack the internal dissenters who acted as guardrails against impulsive decisions during his first tenure. Sarah Matthews, a former Trump spokesperson turned critic, highlights the absence of such checks as a major apprehension.

Chris Christie, once a Trump supporter and now a detractor, voices apprehension about a potential “vendetta tour” in a second Trump term, fearing retribution against perceived enemies without any internal opposition.

Trump’s initial administration included figures like Mattis, Kelly, Milley, and Pence, often seen as tempering Trump’s more controversial inclinations. However, with Trump’s grip on the Republican Party tightening, there’s a growing expectation that a prospective second term would see the administration populated with staunch loyalists.

Efforts are underway by conservative groups to identify personnel for a potential second Trump administration, exemplified by initiatives like the Heritage Foundation’s “Project 2025.”

Though Trump’s campaign distances itself from outside proposals, Trump Jr. is anticipated to play a role in vetting potential staff. Some former aides express readiness to return, including John McEntee, who heads Project 2025’s personnel collection effort.

Trump’s intentions for a second term include resurrecting initiatives like the “Schedule F” order, which would expedite firing of civil service positions, and potentially appointing officials in acting capacities to bypass Senate confirmation.

Key figures like Stephen Miller and Tom Homan are active in shaping immigration policies for a second term, emphasizing even stricter measures.

Notably, Jeffrey Clark, embroiled in controversy over election inquiries in Georgia, is also part of Project 2025.

Reports indicate that without the electoral constraints of a first term, Trump might be less susceptible to advice, as noted by former Attorney General Bill Barr.

Despite such concerns and controversies, Barr has pledged support for the Republican ticket in the upcoming election.
