For two years I was asked to present thoughts on potential candidates for offices in/around the Trump administration if they can achieve victory in the 2024 election. Essentially, if Trump wins, “who” would be best in “what” positions?
I was extremely reluctant to put something together because ultimately, I look at the challenges with a different perspective. Additionally, I am not confident that key people around Donald Trump fully understand the complexity of the problem, and as a result would not absorb the context of any suggestions I might offer.
However, having spent the past 18 months traveling, quietly tracking, methodically researching, looking, listening; digging deep in the places that few understand or pay attention to, and after careful thought, prayer and reflection, I began to think that perhaps a slight change in the presentation might actually be beneficial.
Thus, I began in July of 2024, writing very specifically about who might be best suited for roles and responsibilities. Not from the perspective of the person per se’, but rather from the perspective of a fully understandable context for the position; the reality of what can be pragmatically accomplished, and detailed reasoning for why the challenge they will face exists.
This is a beginning with the end in mind approach.
It is NOT my intent to provide a private list of recommendations. What I wanted to do was set a cornerstone of how each role could, predictably, be anticipated to engage with each challenge; then, ultimately, what I believe they will have to do in order to make progress.
The result was a public series of non-pretending presentations, where all of the traditional civic perspectives that people carried might be challenged.
Roles and responsibilities are only valuable if we define and accept the problem from the same perspective. It is with that thought in mind that such an undertaking begins.
With success in the 2024 election, President Trump will have one 4-year term to begin charting a new course within our government.
President Trump cannot be expected to fix or repair all of the damage created within our Constitutional Republic in one term. However, it is possible for President Trump to set the cornerstones in place that ensure the greatest likelihood of success for a modern restoration.
