Democrats consistently underestimate Donald Trump and dismiss him as a political idiot.
Now, eight years later, many still think he is the political novice he was in 2016.
Should he be reelected in November, they have no idea just how wrong they will be. For a start, he now understands that our warnings about the “deep state” were all too real. So now he has a group whose job it is to dig for the Deep Staters.
Enter Tom Jones, a former staffer to Republican senators and his group called the American Accountability Foundation, an American conservative opposition research group founded in 2020 that has so far opposed nominees to the Joe Biden administration.
Going forward it will identify and potentially remove high-ranking government employees who might be hostile to a future Trump administration. The group, supported by a $100,000 grant from the Heritage Foundation, is focused on employees at the Department of Homeland Security and the State Department who could work against Trump’s policies on immigration and deportations.
They are also working with the Heritage Foundation’s “Project 2025,” which aims to reinstate the Schedule F policy to reclassify tens of thousands of federal employees as political appointees, enabling mass terminations.
This has sparked criticism from Democrats and government employee unions, who view it as a threat to democracy and an attempt to intimidate federal employees. Jones defends the group’s actions, stating that it is important for the next administration to know who these people are and that they are not trying to undermine democracy but rather ensure that the government works for the people.
