President-elect Donald Trump has not yet submitted a series of transition agreements with the Biden administration, in part because of concerns over the mandatory ethics pledge vowing to avoid conflicts of interest once sworn in to office, CNN has learned.
As president, Trump repeatedly came under fire from ethics groups for potential conflicts of interest relating to his businesses and brands. Both Trump’s and his family’s foreign business ties have also come under intense klix throughout his time in office and on the campaign trail.
Trump and his transition team are already behind in accessing key transition briefings from the Biden administration, as they have failed to sign a pair of agreements to unlock critical information before taking over the federal government in 72 days.
The holdup revolves in part around the mandatory agreement over ethics issues.
Former President Donald Trump arrives at an election night watch party in West Palm Beach, Florida, on November 6, 2024.
A source familiar with the process acknowledged that details are still being worked out with the Biden administration regarding the ethics agreement, which is required by law under the Presidential Transition Act and which applies to all members of the transition team. Updates to that bill requiring the ethics pledge were introduced by Trump ally Sen. Ron Johnson, a Wisconsin Republican, and signed into law by Trump himself in March 2020.
The source would not expand further on the Trump team’s concerns over the ethics pledge.
Trump’s most recent financial disclosures as a candidate showed that he has continued to make millions off his properties, books and licensing deals. He and his family recently launched a new cryptocurrency business.
A sizable share of his net worth, meanwhile, is tied to the publicly traded parent company of Truth Social, the conservative social media network. Trump is the dominant shareholder and said Friday that he has no intention of selling his 114.75 million shares, worth about $3.7 billion.
The Trump team ignored a pair of key preelection deadlines to unlock transition activities with the Biden administration’s General Services Administration and the White House. Experts are sounding the alarms about impacts to Day 1 national security preparedness.
The GSA agreement, due September 1, gives Trump’s team access to office space and secure communications, among other provisions. And the White House agreement, due October 1, serves as the gatekeeper for access to agencies and information and lays groundwork for Trump’s team to receive security clearances necessary to begin receiving classified information. The ethics agreement was also due by October 1.
The Trump adviser told CNN the president-elect intends to sign the ethics pledge, but said the transition team’s main priority is selecting and vetting candidates for top Cabinet roles. It is unclear when Trump will sign the pledge.
The adviser played down the skipped deadlines, saying it is “not at all a concern,” but nonpartisan watchdogs and Democrats have warned that the failure to sign those agreements could pose a risk to national security.
Trump co-campaign manager Susie Wiles is seen at Nashville International Airport as Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump arrives on July 27.
Trump’s team could have begun receiving briefings from federal agencies as early as Thursday had it signed the agreements, according to Valerie Smith Boyd, director of the Center for Presidential Transition at the nonprofit, nonpartisan Partnership for Public Service. Boyd estimated that “hundreds” of Trump officials involved in the transition will need background checks to receive classified briefings.
Max Stier, the Partnership for Public Service’s president and CEO, warned of “severe” consequences if the Trump transition continues to fail to engage with President Joe Biden’s team.
“Is it possible just to walk past all this? And the answer is that it is possible — and we’re watching it happen. But the consequences are severe. It would not be possible to be ready to govern on Day 1 without engaging” in interactions with agencies about the state of play within the federal government and the world writ large, Stier said.
Transition, he added, is a “point of maximum vulnerability” for US security.
“A new team coming in walks in with the responsibility of taking over the most complex operation on the planet and maybe the world. And in order to do that effectively, they absolutely need to have done a lot of prework,” Stier said.
If Trump is inaugurated in January without having participated in these activities, Stier warned, “He can’t be ready to take over our government in a way that is safe for all of us. It is simply not possible. You will not have the larger team around him that is essential to running our government up to speed and available to enter into leadership positions across our government.”
White House chief of staff Jeff Zients reached out to the heads of the Trump transition effort Wednesday to stress the Biden administration’s commitment to “lead an orderly transition” process and to highlight the necessary agreements needed to move forward, a White House official told CNN.
“Today, Chief of Staff Jeff Zients reached out to Trump-Vance Transition Co-Chairs Howard Lutnick and Linda McMahon to make clear our intention to lead an orderly transition and reiterate the role the agreements play in initiating transition activities,” the official said Wednesday.
Rep. Jamie Raskin, a Maryland Democrat and ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, warned in a letter to Trump in the weeks before the election that ignoring transition deadlines departs “from well-established norms of federal government and demonstrate a spectacular disregard for the successful continuation of the essential institutions of American democratic government.”
Raskin said that without the memoranda in place, the transfer of power is endangered and could “threaten our national security.”
That has been a problem in the past: In 2000, as the Supreme Court awaited a recount in Florida, neither George W. Bush’s nor Al Gore’s teams were participating in a transition, something the 9/11 Commission Report found was a contributing factor to the September 11, 2001, terror attacks.

Ne tako davno, ljudi skromnih intelektualnih dometa bili su, manje-više, na margini. Imali su svoje birtije, svoje tribine, svoje teferiče i još pokoji zapećak gdje su se zabavljali razmjenjujući nakaradne ideje. I ta zabava mogla je, ali nije morala bitno utjecati na politički život. Takav destruktivni utjecaj bio je bliži izuzetku nego pravilu.
Međutim, sa ekspanzijom interneta, sav taj otrov se prelio sa margine u mejntrim. I sve je preplavio. Stabilni geniji su postali vidljiviji i glasniji. Omasovili su se i preuzeli političke sisteme. I ne treba im niko. Jer sve najbolje “znaju”. O vakcinama “znaju” bolje od vakcinologa. O klimatskim promjenama “znaju” bolje od klimatologa. O depresiji “znaju” bolje od psihijatara. O pravu bolje od pravnika… “Zna” on. He did his own research. Tako što je pregledo dva klipa na netu.
I šta bude kad to i takvo “znanje” potisne struku? Budu posljedice koje, kao neki dan u Novom Sadu, lupaju po glavi.
Bilo je i ranije mračnih vremena. Dugih perioda kad su generacije za generacijama umirale u neznanju. Al nikad nije postojao ovakav spoj neznanja i moći. Razorna vojna moć i znatna mogućnost negativnog utjecaja na klimu u rukama osoba bez osjećaja odgovornosti, bez pameti - to je recept za katostrofu. I ta pomisao je užasavajuća ali i oslobađajuća. Zar je bitno hoće li se svijetom vijoriti izraelske ili palestinske zastave, ako će taj svijet biti sveden na jalovu, za život nepogodnu stjenčugu...
Slusam danas, neki okrug u Texasu, 90% Latinosi. Kazu zadnjih 160 godina je taj okrug glasao za Demokrate (kluz franjo wrote: ↑10/11/2024 16:49 Brojevi su kao kamen. A stara dobra poslovica kaže: "Ko tebe glupostima, ti njega kamenom!"
Ovdje se je diskutovala teza, po kojoj je apstinencija tj. promjena glasačkog raspoloženja među pristalicama Demokrata presudno uticala na ishod izbora.
Po popular-vote će bez dileme Harris na kraju imati nekih 7 % manje glasova od Bidena prije 4 godine. Ali kako popular-vote ne odlučuje izbore, moraju se pogledati brojevi tamo gdje su se izbori dobili - tzv. battleground states (ovdje one sa više od 95% već prebrojanih glasova).
Wi: Biden 2020 1,630 mio, Harris 2024 1,668 mio*, Trump 2024 1,700 mio*
Mi: Biden 2020 2,804 mio, Harris 2024 2,731 mio*, Trump 2024 2,809 mio*
Pa: Biden 2020 3,458 mio, Harris 2024 3,365 mio*, Trump 2024 3,512 mio*
Ga: Biden 2020 2,474 mio, Harris 2024 2,544 mio*, Trump 2024 2,661 mio*
Nv: Biden 2020 0,703 mio, Harris 2024 0,682 mio*, Trump 2024 0,724 mio*
(* još nisu konačni rezultati).
A) Izlaznost Demokrata je u ključnim državama bila skoro nepromjenjena u odnosu na prije 4 godine i po pojedinim državama i u totalu (10.990* tj. 11.069 mio). Nikakve značajnije indikacije neke masovnije apstinencije ili promjene glasačkog raspoloženja među glasačima Demokrata nema.
B) Samo u navedenih 5 saveznih država je Trump povećao svoj rezultat za preko 750.000 novih glasova u odnosu na prije 4 godine. (Sa ovim rezultatom bi pobjedio i Bidena prije 4 godine).
C) Biblijaši i Musk su dakle do max. nahajcali Trumpove glasače, posebno u ključnim državama i zasluženo ostvarili uspjeh.
Simple as that.

https://privatebank.jpmorgan.com/conten ... -jpmwm.pdfWhat I find notable as an investments person about the 2024 election outcome is how the Biden and Harris teams were
not able to convert the following into more substantial gains at the polls:
• Close to an all-time high in the labor force participation rate, a proxy for a very strong labor market
• A surge in reshoring activity of US manufacturing jobs after reshoring progress declined under Trump
• An industrial policy that overwhelmingly benefits GOP districts: ~75% of energy bill spending is going to GOP
districts, many of which are located in swing states
• The largest surge in manufacturing-related construction spending on record, which appears directly tied to
passage and implementation of the Chips bill; key locations include Arizona, Ohio and New Mexico
• Highest YTD equity gains in an election year since 1936, contributing to the highest solvency measures in
over two decades for US corporate defined benefit plans
• On Trump’s proposed tariffs: of ten states with the highest shares of imports to state GDP, 8 are GOP states
• The inflation surge was painful but has subsided; wages are rising faster than rising rents; and the Fed was
able to raise policy rates to stem inflation without triggering a recession for the first time in 60 years
DONALD Trump Jr., najstariji sin novoizabranog američkog predsjednika, svojom je objavom pojačao nagađanja da će njegov otac po ulasku u Bijelu kuću smanjiti financiranje Ukrajine, odnosno njezinih vojnih napora protiv Rusije.
Trump Jr. je na Instagramu podijelio video koji je objavila bivša republikanska potpredsjednička kandidatkinja Sarah Palin. "Točka gledišta: Još 38 dana do gubitka džeparca", glasi poruka u videu koji prikazuje ukrajinskog čelnika kako s tužnim pogledom stoji pored novog američkog predsjednika.
Tijekom kampanje Trump i novoizabrani potpredsjednik J. D. Vance kritizirali su Bidenovu administraciju zbog trošenja milijardi na vojnu pomoć Ukrajini. U lipnju je Trump nazvao Zelenskog "najvećim trgovcem od svih političara" kao odgovor na nastojanja Kijeva da osigura dodatnu pomoć iz SAD-a.

(nisam citao). Inflacija pojela mrak, i vozdra. Jednostavno vjetar u prsa je bio prejak da se promjeni ishod izbora. O tome je trebalo misliti prije 3 godine. Pa jeste, ali sam si dao odgovor - to nikad u SAD nece proci.vaučer wrote: ↑10/11/2024 18:54 Odgovor je jednostavan - regulacija. Politički utjecaj je još najmanji problem - utjecaj na razmišljanje, učenje i fokus ‘always online’ generacije je pravi problem. Ali to neće nikad proći u SADu. EU se zato ne zajebava i nadam se da će još strože udariti po svim platformama kako bi obuzdali dezinformacije i umnegativan utjecaj na društvo.
