Former Trump Aide Makes Dire Warning About President’s ‘Secret Blacklist’

One of the prominent critics of President Trump from his first administration has warned that the White House’s “loyalty scorecard” for businesses is a step toward authoritarianism.

Miles Taylor, a former Department of Homeland Security official who wrote an anonymous New York Times op-ed in 2018 documenting internal resistance in the Trump White House, wrote on his Treason Substack page that the business blacklist is “another totally unprecedented (and quasi-authoritarian) development out of the White House.”

Taylor was responding to an Axiosreport from last Friday that revealed the White House’s sprawling system for tracking private companies’ loyalty to the administration.
