Trump's Orbit

We know Trump is dangerous. What’s less known is the folks who surround Trump and could make up his next administration. Another Trump term in office would diminish our rights, harm our economy, and put our national security at risk. Nowhere is this more exemplified than in the folks who Trump chooses to surround himself with. We at American Bridge 21st Century are breaking out all the major players in the Trump campaign and, potentially, in his next administration. We plan to highlight the folks in Trump’s ear and will likely shape a future administration. This project will be a living document highlighting the dangerous and extreme agendas of the folks in Trump’s inner-most circle.

Potential Administration Officials

If he wins a second term, Donald Trump appears ready to stuff his administration and cabinet with right-wing zealots who will have control over things like education, health care, and our national security. If you thought the first Trump administration was bad, the folks he has in the running for administration roles this time around suggest this term might be even more dangerous.

Trump's

Policy Advisors

Donald Trump’s policy advisors are dead-set on damaging our economy, health, security, and rights. Another Trump term would enable these dangerous people.

Big Donors

More cash-strapped than before due to his onerous legal bills, Donald Trump has ingratiated himself with a variety of big-money extremists. With their influence, Trump could, once again, rig our economy to favor the ultra-rich while leaving average Americans behind.

SCOTUS Justices

Donald Trump has already made a mark on the Supreme Court, but he could further impose his legacy with an additional slate of anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ, and anti-worker justices.
