President-elect Donald Trump's team is instructing all his nominees to stop posting on social media before confirmation, reported the New York Post on Monday.

“While this instruction has been delivered previously, I am reiterating that no member of the incoming administration or Transition speaks for the United States or the President-elect himself,” stated Susie Wiles, the GOP strategist and former Trump campaign head now selected for White House Chief of Staff. “Accordingly, all intended nominees should refrain from any public social media posts without prior approval of the incoming White House counsel.”

While many of Trump's nominees have been under the radar and ordinary picks, he has also announced a slate of controversial nominees that have dominated the news cycle, including vaccine conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for secretary of Health and Human Services, former Hawaii congresswoman and accused Putin sympathizer Tulsi Gabbard for director of national intelligence, far-right enemies-list touting Kash Patel for director of the FBI, and Fox News personality Pete Hegseth, who has been accused of sexual assault.

Another controversial nominee, former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), withdrew from consideration for attorney general ahead of a devastating House Ethics Committee report detailing evidence he engaged in underage sex trafficking, illicit drug use, obstruction of Congress, and other offenses.

1. That is WAY WAY too much to ask of these loons!

They cannot help themselves - including "da boss" and "da guy" who claims to have been actually elected.

[underpants]

2. Message: Don't let them know who you are

or at least stop giving people information

[BumRushDaShow]

3. Their egos are WAY WAY too big

to not "take credit" for their foaming-at-the-mouth ranting and raving.

[SupportSanity]

4. You're right.

I'm waiting for them to start eating each other.

[Unladen Swallow]

5. Seems like this will be a likely outcome

at at least some level...

[NotHardly]

11. Afraid they will give away the "plot" & say the quiet parts out loud?

[Deminpenn]

16. It sure is!

None of them can shut up and they all will be at each other's throats trying to be adviser to the king. To achieve that goal, well, you have to get yourself media attention.

[tanyev]

6. In other words,

[C_U_L8R]

7. Is Musk actually part of the administration?

Or is he just heading up some kind of trumpy vanity project with no funding, no office and no authority?

[sheshe2]

8. Well, lol... he is the 'resident elect!

[Igel]

12. The latter.

But in an informal sort of way, presumably he's accepting some sort of task description with "DOGE". And certainly understands the importance of message policing and only having one head honcho.

He and Trump may butt heads or maybe he'll decide that it's best to forego an immediate reward for a better reward later.

14. Looks familiar. Like Dr. Landy with Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys.

"Dr." Landy was attached like a leech to Brian Wilson for several years. to cure him.

You know, it's almost as if Trump is a dementia patient.
Dementia patients need to be looked after round the clock.
They can wander off and they can buy things without notice. Sometimes spending lots of money.
Like, for example, Greenland.

9. lol - Susie has her work cut out for her with Leon.

I really doubt he will shut up - he BOUGHT "X" just so he can say whatever he wants.

[Buddyzbuddy]

10. Wow, just in time.

Otherwise, we might of found out something disqualifying about them. Well, nothing to see here, move along.

[pfitz59]

13. Herding rabid cats

There is no way this lot will cool either fingertips or lips.

[C0RI0LANUS]

15. Figures "DOGE" is the term Republicans selected.

The fabulously wealthy Doge of Venice, Marco Cornaro.

[Deminpenn]

17. Isn't also the same name as Elon's

Bitcoin?

[C0RI0LANUS]

18. Happy New Year, Deminpenn. Indeed it is. DOGE must mean Ducal Oligarchs, Goniffs & Excrement
