As the clock ticks down to Donald Trump’s second-term confirmation hearings, his nominees are getting a heads-up on something important—social media! Susie Wiles, who managed Trump’s campaign and will be his White House chief of staff, has sent out a memo reminding nominees to stay off social media unless they get the green light from Trump’s incoming White House counsel, David Warrington.
It seems that this new rule is all about keeping things smooth. With tough confirmation hearings ahead, Trump’s team wants to avoid any distractions or controversies. For example, Pete Hegseth, nominated to head the Department of Defense, is expected to face tough questions about past allegations, while Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will likely be questioned on his stance on vaccines.
This move comes after a heated social media debate involving Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, who Trump picked to lead the Department of Government Efficiency. They defended the use of H-1B visas, which didn’t sit well with some of Trump’s more vocal supporters. To avoid more of these kinds of distractions, the memo is meant to keep everyone focused on the big picture.
So, no more tweets or posts without approval—Trump’s team is making sure everyone stays on message as they prepare for the upcoming hearings starting January 14. With the new Republican-controlled Senate gearing up, the confirmation process is sure to be an eventful one!
Stay tuned for more updates!
