Trump is doing it his way when it comes to his transition team this time around, opting to fund his own team of experts rather than wait until November 6 to let the government pay for the team.
Former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. offered praise for former President Trump’s plan to fund his transition on his own, arguing it is something that’s never been done before.
“Normally, the transition team is not created until Nov. 6th because GAO, the General Accounting Office, pays for all the cost of the transition team. Trump said, ‘I’m not going to do it this time. I’m not going to do it their way. I’m going to start my own transition team three months early.’ And he got private donors to fund it,” Kennedy said during a Trump-Vance campaign event over the weekend.
Anytime we aren’t using taxpayer dollars for something, I’m immediately on board.
I also love that Trump is taking matters into his own hands, even though it might not be conventional. We don’t need conventional anymore—we need a free thinker who is going to shake things up and do things the best way, not the easy way.
By funding his own team, Trump will be able to carefully select the best lineup of individuals, and I think the country will be better off because of it.
