Congratulations! You just got a job in the Trump Administration. I know how exciting it is to work in the White House and with the President of the United States. I spent over two years as a national security advisor to Vice President Mike Pence in the White House and was there on day one at the Department of Homeland Security for the first Trump Administration. Yup, I worked for Trump 1.0

Now, I know you’re probably super-MAGA right now. You’re all in on America First and maybe even Project 2025, and you believe Donald Trump and his inner circle are just the team for the job. Well, I hate to burst your bubble, but I’d be willing to bet serious bank that you’ll bear witness to something that changes your mind. Because if you love America, your patriotism will instinctively kick in at some point, and you’ll see Trump for who and what he truly is. And then you’ll be left with a quandary.

Don’t take my word for it. It happened to Stephanie Grisham, Anthony Scaramucci, Alyssa Farah Griffin, Michael Cohen, Miles Taylor, Sarah Matthews, Cassidy Hutchinson, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, Lev Parnas…to name just a few. All were true believers at one time. All worked closely with the President-Elect in some capacity. All were committed to him and his agenda. And all were left facing the same line in the sand I faced: how do I continue to serve in an administration that I know is flagrantly harming Americans?

So when it’s your quandary—and if you’re a patriot, trust me, it will be—here’s some advice on how to deal with it.

Remember who you serve. You serve at the pleasure of the President, but you don’t serve the President. You serve the American people, and your oath is to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. So don’t compromise your ethics for anyone, not even the President, and especially not in situations where his actions or directives conflict with the Constitution or jeopardize the health and safety of the American people.

1. Good for Her! Another Small Oasis of Honesty and Even Patriotism

2. Oh, this is so quaint, talking about serving the American people!

It harkens back to a time when high government offices of incoming administrations were to be filled with career politicians or federal workers who had shown a deep commitment to the public good. Who worked for the government because they believed in government being for the people.

Trump 2.0 has none of that. They don't give a shit about defending the Constitution, and figure swearing on a Bible is just a thing to do, but doesn't actually carry any obligations for them. They have no morals or ethics. They will always choose to serve Musk - er, Trump.
