President-elect Donald Trump leveled praise and condemnation for his upcoming and former administration officials.
The incoming president celebrated the new administration employees joining him as he returns to office next week, taking to Truth Social to congratulate the “outstanding” group of new hires.
Trump also used the occasion to name and shame “disloyal warmongers” and others who will not be part of his second term, getting a jab in about anyone who worked for former Vice President Mike Pence, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, or any other of his critics.
“As of today, the incoming Trump Administration has hired over 1,000 people for The United States Government,” he wrote in a post on Wednesday.

“They are outstanding in every way, and you will see the fruits of their labor over the coming years. We will MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, and it will happen very quickly!” Trump wrote.
“In order to save time, money, and effort, it would be helpful if you would not send, or recommend to us, people who worked with, or are endorsed by, Americans for No Prosperity (headed by Charles Koch), ‘Dumb as a Rock’ John Bolton, ‘Birdbrain’ Nikki Haley, Mike Pence, disloyal Warmongers Dick Cheney, and his Psycho daughter, Liz, Mitt Romney, Paul Ryan, General(?) Mark Milley, James Mattis, Mark Yesper, or any of the other people suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, more commonly known as TDS,” he added, resurrecting many of the memorable nicknames.
“Thank you for your attention to this matter!” he concluded his snarky jab.
The who’s who list of critics and those suffering from TDS came days ahead of the inauguration of the 45th and soon-to-be 47th president.
Notably, Haley and Pence failed in their White House bids during the 2024 Republican presidential primaries and have been openly critical of the GOP leader. Haley dragged her feet in endorsing him and Pence declared he would not support Trump as the Republican nominee. Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) and former House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) had also indicated Trump would not get their vote.
Mark Milley, James Mattis, Mark Esper, and John Bolton all served in Trump’s first administration and later criticized him.
Social media users applauded Trump’s “savage” post and looked forward to his White House return.
Could be the greatest Trump post EVER!
