I think Stephen Miller is shoving them under his nose and he just signs.

Are you forgetting the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025? They have had these ready for signature probably from the time he announced his candidacy.

He may be the author of some of them, but Susie Wiles is his Chief of Staff.

Here is a NYT article from Jan 9 about Susie Wiles - definitely someone to know about: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/09/us/politics/susie-wiles-trump.html?unlocked_article_code=1.rU4.sMCB.Ob5cd8ZAno_7&smid=url-share

And here is another article about Ms. Wiles from two days ago: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/22/opinion/susie-wiles-trump.html?unlocked_article_code=1.rU4.dpke.pZFuO2fZUNZa&smid=url-share

Both of these may be behind the NYT paywall.

Thanks for sharing the articles. Very interesting individual, Ms. Wiles. Sounds like a formidable woman. I think I respect her based on the articles. Hopefully she is able to keep Trump “corralled” to a modicum of truth, honesty, and compassion for America. NOT his usual modis operandi. One can hope, at least. But I’ll keep my opinions at bay for now on her.

Unless she is deaf and dumb, she would know what Trump is, I can't respect anyone that would work for him

Susie co-chaired his entire campaign. She’s an astute political operative, not just some high powered secretary.

Oh hell no she won’t. That’s a whole lot of magical thinking right there. 😆
