A stack of employment offer letters is expected to go out Monday to political appointees in the new administration of President-elect Donald Trump, according to people familiar with the matter, with just two weeks to go before the inauguration.

The Trump transition had set a goal of bringing on as many as 2,000 political appointees on Jan. 20, Day One of the administration, but it's falling short of that target, two sources told CBS News. About 4,000 political appointees serve across the federal government currently.

Around 1,200 political appointees were in place when Trump assumed the presidency in January 2017, aides estimated. President Biden's transition chair Ted Kaufman said in 2021 his administration had 1,136 political appointees on Inauguration Day.

Sources told CBS News that candidates for senior management posts want to give their private sector companies two weeks' notice before they leave for government service. Some are reluctant to resign their current roles without hiring letters from the transition.

It's all you Donnie
All you, you glorious bastard.

Biden is still president.
Stroke out you monster

Trump to carry out his fascist agenda. That's what a true patriot does when a scam artist sets out to destroy the Constitution and nation with his phony claims to patriotism.

The Trump administration steadfastly refusing to work with the incoming Biden administration until the absolute last minute. But I'm sure I'm mistaken since Trump would never do such a thing

He wouldn't meet. Now things are going haywire he blames Biden of course.

On the daily "Donnie says something outrageous/stupid/inflammatory/whatever" threads... He speaks nothing but disinfo and agitprop bullshit when he isn't furiously stroking off to his own photo...

If all he's doing is talking, just tune him out... Don't give him the reaction he's so desperately trolling for...

He doesn't like being outsmarted

Translation: TRUMP LIES

Make it difficult for the orange moron to perform his fascist-in-chief duties.

I remember one particular woman in Trump's administration who did everything possible to thwart the incoming Biden team. They had to sue to get her cooperation.

Trump fired the White House butler so no one would be there to hold the door open for the incoming president.

None of us have forgotten it. Chump is doing everything he can to remind us what a terrible president he was and will be again. He really has a lot of nerve complaining about Joe Biden.

Lying sack of shit.

Didn’t the orange monster fire the White House Usher and do the traditional greeting wouldn’t let President Biden in the White House.

Sorry middle finger for the orange turd!

Four (or more?) years of that man-baby's constant whining.

IF the transition has been difficult, it's because of him, not because of Joe Biden.

being the focus VonSchitzInPants literally loses his shit.

Trump: It's going to take a bit longer to undo Biden's work and turn America into a third world county!

to help us while he still can. I'm sure the monster puppet and his masters will figure out how to snatch that help away as soon as they can.

Good!

DonOld you dotard, we remember how uncooperative you were when you could not peacefully transition power to the president elect Biden. I saw January 6 real time from my home living room. Keep on complaining numbnuts, it’s schadenfreude at its finest. Go F off, because you are projecting.

makes it as difficult as he can. Trump deserves as much friction as possible. The more the better.
