On October 7, 2026, President Trump posted on Truth Social that Chris LaCivita and James Blair are outside consultants. He wrote that they “do not work for me, other than as outside consultants,” and that if there is a conflict, “I will terminate them, immediately!” The post orders nothing and names no client. It is a statement from the President, and any action he describes has not happened yet.
What the President said
The post is signed “President DONALD J. TRUMP.” It says the two men are allowed to do work for others, “just like all consultants in Washington, D.C.” The President writes that they “most likely have numerous clients,” that he does not know who else they work for, and that he will “on reflection, ask them.” The text matches the post on his account, dated October 7, 2026 at 16:02 UTC. You can read it at the President’s Truth Social post.
What the post does and does not do
The post itself sets no rule, orders no change and names no client. It does not say a conflict exists. It does not say either man has been let go. It is a public statement of what the President plans to do next.
Who is affected
The people named are LaCivita and Blair. The post calls them outside consultants and says they can take work for others. It does not describe their roles beyond that, and it does not name anyone who hires them.
Why it matters for working families
The post does not mention prices, wages, jobs or any policy. Its subject is who advises the President and whether those advisers can also work for other clients. The America First view is that the President’s team should stay focused on the President’s agenda, and that any conflict should be dealt with quickly. The President says he would act “immediately” if one is found. Whether that happens is the thing to watch.
What has not happened yet
Three things remain open. The President says he will ask the two men about their other work, and the post gives no answer from them. No conflict is named. No termination is announced. Any next step would have to come from the President, the White House or the men themselves, and the post does not say when.
What to watch next
- Whether the President names any client or any conflict.
- Whether LaCivita or Blair answer the question about their other work.
- Whether any termination is announced, and in what form.
