Trump campaign reiterates caution to external groups planning 2025 administration
Former President Trump’s Campaign Advisers Release Strong Statement on Administration Speculation
In a scathing second statement, former President Donald Trump’s top campaign advisers addressed the ongoing speculation surrounding his potential administration in 2025 if he were to win the presidency in 2024. The statement, released by Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita, emphasized that certain “allies” had not understood the message conveyed in their previous memo.
Media Outlets Criticized for Anonymous Sourcing
Furthermore, the advisers criticized media outlets for their continued use of anonymous sourcing and speculation about a second Trump administration. They accused these outlets of attempting to prevent a potential second term for Trump.
The first memo from Wiles and LaCivita had a more moderate tone, expressing gratitude towards outside organizations for their assistance in a potential transition. However, the latest statement left no room for ambiguity. It explicitly stated that only communications from the president or his campaign should be taken seriously and that third parties organizing future administration jobs were unwelcome distractions.
Specific Warning to Potential Job Seekers
The memo went on to warn individuals publicly discussing potential administration jobs for themselves or their friends that they were not only hurting President Trump but also themselves. It emphasized that such discussions were unwelcome distractions.
Neither memo mentioned any specific groups or efforts. However, the Friday statement directly responded to an anonymously sourced article published by Axios, which suggested several controversial former Trump officials and allies were being considered for top positions in a potential second administration.
Project 2025: A Coalition for a Successful Administration
One venture, known as “Project 2025” and led by the conservative think tank Heritage Foundation, aims to staff a Republican administration following the 2024 election. This coalition of over 80 conservative organizations seeks to ensure a successful administration beginning in January 2025.
While the report did not explicitly mention Miller’s organization, America First Legal Foundation, it is part of the Project 2025 coalition. Other conservative organizations involved in the project have different views from Miller’s foundation and the group American Moment, which aligns closely with the Edmund Burke Foundation and focuses on National Conservatism.
Overall, the statement from Trump’s campaign advisers made it clear that only official communications from the president or his campaign should be taken seriously regarding potential administration positions. It criticized media outlets for anonymous sourcing and warned individuals against publicly discussing future jobs. The ongoing speculation surrounding a second Trump administration continues to generate attention and controversy.

However, the latest statement left no room for ambiguity. It explicitly stated that only communications from the president or his campaign should be taken seriously and that third parties organizing future administration jobs were unwelcome.
The campaign advisers’ strong reaction to ongoing speculation about a second Trump administration reflects a growing frustration within Trump’s team regarding the portrayal of their intentions and plans for the future. The statement serves as a clear message to both media outlets and outside organizations that any discussion or planning for a future administration should be directed solely through official channels.
The criticism towards media outlets for their use of anonymous sourcing is not new. Throughout Trump’s presidency, journalists have faced scrutiny for relying heavily on anonymous sources, leading to concerns about accuracy and credibility. By calling out these practices, the campaign advisers are attempting to hold media outlets accountable for their reporting methods and push for more transparency.
Furthermore, the advisers’ accusation that media outlets are attempting to prevent a potential second term for Trump highlights the underlying tension between the former president and the media. Trump’s relationship with the press has been fraught with hostility, with accusations of biased reporting and “fake news” becoming a common refrain during his time in office. The advisers’ statement suggests that they perceive this ongoing speculation as an extension of that relationship and view it as a deliberate effort to undermine Trump’s chances of returning to the White House.
As the speculation surrounding a potential 2025 Trump administration continues, it remains to be seen whether this strong statement from his campaign advisers will quell the chatter or simply add fuel to the fire. Nevertheless, it highlights the divisions and frustrations within the Trump camp and serves as a reminder that discussions about future administrations should be approached with caution and accuracy.
Ultimately, only time will tell what the future holds for former President Trump and his team. Until then, their campaign advisers will remain vigilant in ensuring that any discussions regarding future administrations are conducted through official channels, and media outlets will face renewed scrutiny for their reporting practices.
