Summary
Sen. Elizabeth Warren accused President-elect Donald Trump and his transition team of violating the Presidential Transition Act by failing to prevent conflicts of interest and sign an ethics agreement, a law Warren helped author.
Her comments follow a CNN report suggesting that Trump’s team has withheld necessary transition agreements from the Biden administration due to conflict-of-interest concerns.
Rep. Jamie Raskin also criticized Trump’s refusal to engage in standard transition protocols, warning it could disrupt the peaceful transfer of power. Trump’s actions break a precedent set by presidential candidates since 2010.
Because most of the people in power actually want Trump to push things too far. That way when he leaves, they can push things almost that far and look like a good guy. Remember, the Democratic party is conservative centrist, not leftist. There are very few left centrists like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren in office and no one is truly very far left at all. But compared to Trump, they appear to be extremely leftist.
