Contact: Tommy Pigott and Eric Leyden, Team Trump

HAPPY NEW YEAR! – A new year marks a new beginning, and for our country, it signals that we are turning the page on the failed and disastrous Biden-Harris administration and embarking on the new American Golden Age!

President Trump hasn’t even taken office yet, and he is already fulfilling his promises thanks to the Trump Effect. A secure border, a prosperous economy, peace through strength – that’s what the American people want, and that’s what President Trump will deliver. He did it before, and he is already doing it again! Make America Great Again!

SECURING THE BORDER – In a massive legal victory, a federal judge has ordered the Biden administration to cease its attempt at selling off unused, unconstructed segments of the southern border wall just weeks before the inauguration of President Trump. This comes after President Trump filed an amicus brief in support of the effort to “immediately” stop Biden’s destructive policy.

Team Trump has the latest on what they’re saying.

• New York Post: Federal judge orders Biden administration to stop selling off border wall parts
• The Daily Mail: Biden faces major court defeat after trying to sell border wall materials before Trump takes over
• Fox News: Court orders Biden admin to stop selling border wall materials, was 'illegally subverting' laws: Texas AG
• The Hill: Texas blocks Biden from disposing of border wall materials before Trump takes office
• The Washington Times: Biden administration says it’s done selling off border wall materials – for now
• The Daily Wire: Texas Stops Biden From Continuing To Sell Border Wall Materials Before Trump Returns
• Just The News: Court orders Biden administration to stop selling border wall material
• Bloomberg: Biden Administration Must Produce Border Wall Spending Records
• KVUE-TV: Judge blocks sale of border wall materials
• KVIA-TV: Federal judge blocks Biden Administration from auctioning more border wall material
• KXAN-TV: Texas AG orders preservation of border wall materials for Trump
• WOAI Radio (San Antonio): Court Orders Biden Administration to Stop Selling Border Wall Materials
• NTD: Court Blocks Biden From Selling Off Portions of Southern Border Wall

This is a major victory for the American people. Biden refuses to secure the border. When he is inaugurated, President Trump will end this national nightmare and secure the border.

THE SPEAKER – In case you missed it, President Trump gave his complete and total endorsement to Mike Johnson for Speaker of the House.

PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER – President Trump issued the following statements after hearing of the news of President Jimmy Carter’s passing.

“THE STRONG LEADER WE NEED” – Former Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue penned a recent op-ed on how “Brooke Rollins is the strong leader we need at the Department of Agriculture.”

From the op-ed:

• “Making a real, lasting impact on this country as a Cabinet secretary requires a diverse skillset, but one key attribute that any leader of the wide-ranging and multi-faceted U.S. Department of Agriculture will need is the ability to cut through the noise and reduce such burdens.”
• “Luckily for American farmers and ranchers, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for secretary of agriculture, Brooke Rollins, knows exactly how to do that. She listens, she analyzes, she decides, and she acts.”
• “Her leadership experience speaks for itself. During her 15 years as president and CEO of the Texas Public Policy Foundation, she turned the small organization around from a run-of-the-mill producer of white papers into a massive, thriving policy machine that has since become the model for state policy think tanks nationwide.”
• “Rollins also served as director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, developing a rare level of proficiency at navigating the policy-making process. By developing and implementing policies under Trump in his first term, Rollins quickly familiarized herself with the relationship-building and maintenance that must take place in order to get key priorities across the finish line. And in her founding of the America First Policy Institute, Brooke built and led a team of 220 patriots comprised of nine former cabinet-level officials and over 50 former senior White House staff.”
• “Over the past four years, as president and CEO of AFPI, Rollins has worked tirelessly, advocating for policies that put the American people first. She understands the significance of being a voice for all Americans, of American productivity, and of American exceptionalism.”

“THE LEADER SMALL BUSINESSES NEED TO THRIVE” – A recent op-ed in Townhall discusses why Kelly Loeffler is just who Americans need at the Small Business Administration (SBA) to “thrive.”

Some highlights:

• “Small businesses are the backbone of America’s economy, embodying the ingenuity, grit, and entrepreneurial spirit that make our country so vibrant. As the founder of a company that empowers small businesses, I’ve been fortunate to have Kelly Loeffler serve on our Board of Directors. I have seen firsthand how her vision and leadership can unleash the potential of businesses. Kelly is uniquely positioned to revitalize the Small Business Administration (SBA) and ensure it fulfills its mission to empower small businesses to grow, innovate, and thrive.”
• “Kelly’s track record speaks for itself. With an impressive career spanning nearly three decades, she has demonstrated her ability to transform ideas into thriving enterprises. With humble beginnings, she worked on her family’s farm and small trucking business and helped put herself through school waiting tables in family-owned restaurants.”
• “Kelly’s drive to exponentially grow small companies into large ones and navigate complex regulatory, competitive, and economic challenges is precisely the kind of experience the SBA desperately needs. She understands what it takes to overcome challenges, secure funding, and create jobs – skills she’ll use to help small businesses across the nation reach their full potential. Her Senate experience, where she was the only CFA charter holder to ever serve in Congress, means she understands the realities of Washington, D.C., and their cost to small businesses.”
• “With Kelly at the helm, the SBA will no longer be a bureaucratic bottleneck. It will be a catalyst for growth, innovation, and prosperity. She will help write the next great chapter in America’s entrepreneurial story and make the American Main Street Strong Again.”

“A WIN FOR PARENTS” – Linda McMahon, President Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Education, is a win for parents.

A new op-ed explains:

• “As the steward of a wildly successful multinational business, McMahon demonstrated that she has the acumen to identify a customer base and deliver a high-quality product.”

•  “At the heart of the president-elect's educational policy is respect for the fundamental right of parents to know what their children are being taught and support for their freedom to decide what type of educational environment is best for their students.”

• “McMahon is a longtime champion of career and technical education – which, as the head of a multimillion-dollar international corporation, should also come as no surprise. Over the course of her career, she’s employed thousands of workers from ticket booths to the c-suite, driving home that not every position requires going into debt for a four-year degree – and that there are many fulfilling career paths to support a family with dignity.”

•  “President Trump promised to reinstitute the traditional understanding of Title IX to protect biological girls and women; here too, McMahon (who famously stepped into the ring herself!) is positioned to deliver on this vow – placing the incoming Trump administration squarely on the side of the majority of the population that wants athletes to compete on teams that correspond with their biological sex.”

• “American parents have made their choice – Trump’s victory reflects their desire for change in the educational system. His policies – executed by Linda McMahon – will finally put students first, equipping them with the tools necessary to be well-functioning, flourishing individuals who are prepared to be the future leaders of this nation.”

BIDEN’S DISGRACE – For years, Team Trump, Republicans, and anyone paying attention pointed out that Joe Biden was unfit for office. To the disgrace of Joe Biden, his staff, and the fake news media, they covered up this national scandal.

Real reflection, answers, and accountability for all involved in the cover up are needed. Biden’s decline was not only a political scandal, but a continued threat to our national security. “Disgrace” to describe those involved is honestly too polite a word.

TRUMP FORCE 47 – Team Trump had a historic and unprecedented voter registration and turnout program.

The more we learn, the clearer that becomes. Here’s an important thread with details:

In the words of James Blair, “We salute the Patriots who comprised our 40,000+ Trump Force 47 Captains, thousands of external canvassers, dozens of major donors, & independent groups who believed in the vision & carried it to success.”
