Biden’s ‘sneaky’ and ‘dirty’ plot to slow down Trump on Day One… despite promising a ‘smooth’ transition

  • Biden pledged cooperation with the incoming administration
  • But he’s put in place a series of initiatives to slow Trump’s agenda 

President Joe Biden enacted a series of roadblocks to slow down Donald Trump‘s agenda during the president-elect first days in the White House, despite his steadfast promises to cooperate with the incoming administration.

The moves include changing the order of succession in federal agencies so pro-Biden staffers will be in charge before Trump’s nominees can be confirmed, and enacting federal rules that will take the new administration months to overturn. 

The White House has also doled out billions in federal funds on clean energy initiatives and other Biden priorities.

‘They’re playing dirty during the transition period,’ Ezra Cohen, a former Undersecretary of Defense for Trump and a current Hudson fellow, told DailyMail.com.

‘When President Trump’s going to be in office, dealing with actual, real problems … now he has to deal with stuff like this,’ he added. ‘It’s just bad for America that they’re doing this.’

Although Cohen conceded that none of it is ‘insurmountable,’ he emphasized that the moves were ‘just about throwing sand in the gears to try to interfere with President Trump.’

The Biden administration simply claims it’s just securing the president’s legacy. Biden is giving two speeches during his final week in office that are designed to defend his tenure. And his social media accounts have been actively tossing out ambitious claims about his presidency.

Most presidents spend their final weeks in the Oval Office shoring up their initiatives and making sure their priorities stay protected under the new commander-in-chief. And Biden publicly pledged to cooperate on the transition, which was a change from the 2020 election when Trump refused to concede to him and made no effort to facilitate a government handover.

However, Biden, in an interview with USA Today last week, also laughed when the news outlet asked him about Trump trying to overturn his initiatives.

‘I think he’s going to have a problem,’ the president said. ‘Trump’s going to have a hard time undoing a lot, I think.’
