In a decisive move to control his campaign's narrative, Donald Trump's inner circle has rolled out a stringent new social media doctrine for all staff and advisors. The 12-point policy, obtained by DailyMail.com, aims to clamp down on rogue posts and enforce a unified digital front.
The Core Commandments of the MAGA Digital Army
The comprehensive list of rules leaves little room for interpretation. It explicitly bans campaign members from sharing any form of opinion poll, regardless of whether it casts the former President in a favourable light or not. The policy states that all polling data is to be considered 'confidential information,' its dissemination strictly prohibited.
A Ban on Drama and Personal Crusades
Perhaps the most revealing directive is the outright prohibition on creating 'drama' or publicly criticising other staffers, allies, or supporters. This rule appears designed to prevent the public infighting and factionalism that has plagued previous Trump operations. The message is clear: internal disputes are to be kept strictly internal.
No Unauthorised Voices
The policy emphatically states that aides are forbidden from speaking to the press about campaign strategy or matters of substance without express authorisation. Furthermore, the document warns against posting any content that has not been officially pre-cleared, ensuring every tweet, post, or story aligns perfectly with the central campaign message.
Echoes of a Past Term
This hardline approach mirrors the strict social media rules imposed during Trump's tumultuous White House tenure, where officials and aides were frequently tripped up by their own online activity. The new campaign manifesto suggests an effort to learn from past mistakes and present a more disciplined, focused operation to the American public.
This digital lockdown signifies a campaign prioritising message discipline above all else, aiming to avoid the self-inflicted controversies that can dominate news cycles and derail political momentum.
