Olivia Troye, a former aide to Mike Pence, revealed that Donald Trump's team aims to replace policy experts with "carnies at the Iowa State Fair."

During a Sunday panel discussion on MSNBC, Troye explained how the incoming Trump administration would use a policy known as Schedule F to replace policy experts serving in government positions.

Donald Trump's Truth Social platform may have its future as a viable — yet money-losing — site impacted now that the former president is headed back to the Oval Office, according to an analyst.

The media forum where he has regaled his hardcore MAGA fans since he was booted from Twitter after the Jan. 6 insurrection has little reason to continue existing now that he will have the White House bully pulpit from which to address the nation, make bold announcements and attack his enemies, according to Alex Kirshner of Slate.

Criminal defense attorney Eric Faddis told NewsNation he was surprised to see former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani holding a press conference just minutes after appearing in federal court for failing to turn over his valuables to two former Georgia election workers.

After appearing in federal court on Thursday, Giuliani ranted that Hunter Biden was connected to the defamation case brought by Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea "Shaye" Moss. A judge has ordered the former mayor to turn over much of his property to the women after he failed to pay the $148 million judgment.

In a column for MSNBC, former Donald Trump administration national security official Olivia Troye wrote with a great degree of certainty that Americans are faced with a bleak future with Donald Trump returning to the Oval Office and noted an initiative the former president has set in motion that could make matters worse.

Troye, who served directly for former vice president Mike Pence as a national security expert, wrote that her largest concern initially is Trump's promise of "retribution" against people he sees as political enemies.

As she explained, "Trump risks putting a target on the back of anyone who opposes him," before warning, "... he would effectively grant immunity to extremists who could commit acts of violence on his behalf."

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) argued she deserved a position in Donald Trump's next presidential administration instead of MAGA newcomers like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy.

Greene made the remarks Wednesday after a question from Real America's Voice host Beau Davidson.

Special counsel Jack Smith will reportedly leave his post before President-elect Donald Trump takes office in January.

Sources told Fox News legal correspondent David Spunt that Trump's legal problems were effectively over after winning the presidency for a second time.

Joy Behar, co-host of ABC's The View, argued right-wing media outlets should be held responsible after Donald Trump was re-elected as president of the United States.

During Wednesday's post-election show, co-host Sunny Hostin called Trump "a complete aberration."

An attorney and adviser to Donald Trump claimed the former president gave women "more rights" when he appointed three Supreme Court justices who would go on to end federal abortion rights.

During an Election Day interview on Fox News, Alina Habba responded to Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) after he pointed out that Trump had called to punish women for having abortions.

While voting was still underway Tuesday, disgraced former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn was already preparing Donald Trump's supporters for a fight to keep the Republican nominee out of jail if he wins.

During an interview with Alex Jones, Flynn asked the MAGA movement to "shore up" Trump if the former president was re-elected and then sentenced to jail on 34 felony counts in New York.

Former President Donald Trump used a visit to a polling station on Tuesday to scold Fox News for showing clips of Oprah Winfrey campaigning on behalf of Vice President Kamala Harris.

After casting his vote in Palm Beach, Trump spoke to reporters at the polling place about the election before veering into a rant about Winfrey.
