A group of Donald Trumps former aides is preparing a turnkey administration for his return to the White House, as the embattled former president hints that hes preparing to make a third run for the nations highest office.
America First Policy Institute, a nonprofit led by former Trump cabinet member and World Wrestling Entertainment executive Linda McMahon, has essentially assembled a shadow government for Trump -- or, potentially, any other Republican who takes the White House from Democrats in 2024.
The organization, based a short walk from the White House, is also developing policy proposals for an expected Republican-controlled House in November. The administration-in-waiting includes potential cabinet members, senior White House officials and even political appointees at federal agencies. . . .
Names in the early mix for possible roles should Trump make another successful White House run, according to people familiar with discussions, include: former acting director of national intelligence Ric Grenell or former national security advisor Robert OBrien for Secretary of State; Kellyanne Conway or Brooke Rollins for chief of staff; John Ratcliffe for attorney general or secretary of Defense; Chad Wolf for Homeland Security secretary; and former National Economic Council director Larry Kudlow for Treasury secretary.
