The America First Policies Institute (AFPI) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3)[4] think tank that was founded in 2021 to perpetuate former U.S. President Donald Trump's public policy agenda.[5] The organization was founded by Brooke Rollins, who serves as president and CEO, and Larry Kudlow, who serves as vice chair. Linda McMahon is the organization's chairperson.[6] According to Politico, the group is often described as a "White House in waiting."[3] The group produced a document about its vision, which includes "job creation and low unemployment, expansion of affordable housing, eradicating Covid-19, reducing federal bureaucracy, cracking down on crime and illegal immigration, passing congressional term limits, and ending foreign war and reliance on China."[3] As of 2022, AFPI has 150 employees working in 22 different policy centers.[3]
