A thread addressed to my fellow conservatives who are planning to vote, or considering voting, for Trump. 1/13
I was a senior, Senate-confirmed appointee in the Trump administration. I saw it from the inside. It was a chaotic disaster. I am also a lifelong conservative, a former Republican nominee for Congress, and a former White House Counsel.

2/13
Trump is reckless, angry, vengeful, and narcissistic, and he has no respect for the Constitution or the rule of law.

3/13
He is not a conservative; rather, he is a would-be autocrat and fascist motivated exclusively by his personal self-interest. If you think he cares about you or your family, I assure you that he does not. He cares only about himself.

4/13
So why did the country not go completely off the rails last time? Because there were just enough senior officials who served as “guardrails.” I assure you that there will be no “guardrails” in another Trump administration.

5/13
If Trump is re-elected, senior administration positions will be filled entirely by blindly ambitious or unqualified radicals and grifters who pass a test of personal loyalty to Trump.

6/13
There will be no “adults in the room” who stand up for the Constitution and our cherished American democratic institutions.

7/13
Perhaps you recognize Trump’s many serious flaws, but you think you will benefit from some of his “policies” while escaping the effects of the chaos and lawlessness. To that I say the following:

8/13
1. Although Trump will tend to follow Project 2025 (a problem in itself), you can’t trust him to implement any particular policy. Trump has no political principles. He will reverse any position any time if it suits his personal interest. Surely you’ve already noticed that.

9/13
2. You won’t escape the disastrous effects of his policies (e.g., tariffs) on the economy, global instability and damage to national security resulting from his admiration for foreign dictators, or the chaos, lawlessness, and persecution that he promises. No one will.

10/13
But what about Kamala, you ask—if she’s elected, won’t the Democrats run amok implementing their dream list of leftist policies? No, they won’t be able to do that. Please read this article, particularly “The Harris Risk” portion: .

11/13thebulwark.com/p/a-message-fo…
I disagree with Kamala Harris on many issues, but she will respect our constitutional system and the rule of law, and she will support our international alliances and allies. She has also pledged to appoint a Republican to her Cabinet.

12/13
I respectfully urge you to join me and many other conservatives and Republicans in voting for Kamala Harris. It’s time to close the book on Trump and rebuild a truly conservative party based on respect for the Constitution, the rule of law, and each other.

FYI @GSAEmily, Presidential Transition Act of 1963: “The Congress declares it to be the purpose of this Act to promote the orderly transfer of the executive power in connection with the expiration of the term of office of a President and the inauguration of a new President.” 1/4
“The national interest requires that such transitions in the office of President be accomplished so as to assure continuity in the faithful execution of the laws and in the conduct of the affairs of the Federal Government, both domestic and foreign.” 2/4
“Any disruption occasioned by the transfer of the executive power could produce results detrimental to the safety and well-being of the United States and its people.” 3/4
