During Trump’s first term as president, one of his biggest challenges came from his own hires. Many were anything but MAGA – they were leakers, liars, disloyal and often more interested in their own spotlight than in fighting for America. Instead of focusing on the mission, they seemed more concerned with avoiding media criticism from the left and not doing anything that would embarrass their own legacy. And to be fair, Trump didn’t always have the right guidance on who was truly up for the job.
But Trump 2.0? He’s learned his lesson. This time around, he’s making picks at lightning speed – and they’re looking better and better. From what’s visible, his selections seem rooted in loyalty, patriotism, and an unwavering commitment to MAGA. Many are even taking pay cuts (like Pete Hegseth, no doubt), a clear sign they’re serious about the mission ahead.
What we have so far…
