Trump’s Team Struggles To Hire Staffers Over His Insane Loyalty Demands

According to new reports, Donald Trump’s team is falling “woefully short” of their staffing goals because they are running out of candidates that meet their criteria. Specifically, they can’t find enough people that they believe share the MAGA “America First” ideology. In reality, they are having trouble finding people willing to blindly follow every single thing that Trump says, and that is the only quality that the administration is looking for. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

Donald Trump, and of course all of his campaign, uh, uh, uh, staffers, surrogates, whatever you wanna call 'em, everybody that's a part of Trump world right now has been making it clear for months and months, going long before the election, going back several years to the beginning of Project 2025, that when Trump gets back in office, only loyalists are allowed. There will not be a single person in that administration that will ever tell him no about anything. And that has been crystal clear to everyone. In fact, you even had to Republican representative Mike Waltz, who is gonna be joining the administration, say on Monday. Let me be clear. Anyone working under President Trump and the uh, national Security Council will be fully aligned with his America first agenda. Any rumors or suggestions to the contrary are fake news and a distraction from the mission. We will clear the decks to make America great again.

In other words, don't you dare believe these reports that we may hire people that aren't maga. Oh God, no. Only maga. Oh Maga, all the time, right? There's just a little problem with this. According to a report from CBS News, they can't find people. They have run out of MAGA loyalists to bring into the upcoming administration, to the point where their staffing levels, you know, although technically they can't be hired yet until he becomes president, the staffing levels have been described as woefully inadequate. And the reason, of course, is because they can't find enough brain dead stooges willing to do whatever horrible thing Donald Trump tells them to do, no matter how horrible that thing may be. Apparently, even in MAGA world, there are thresholds that some of these people are not willing to cross, and that, of course, is causing them to not get the jobs.

I find that completely and totally hilarious. Now, I also understand that it's gonna leave the government woefully inadequately staffed, but that may not be a bad thing. You know, if we wanted a properly functioning government, one that's able to do the things they say they want to do, then being understaffed is a big problem. The issue here is that Donald Trump's incoming government has not promised to do a single thing that's gonna be beneficial for the American public, right? They basically want to dismantle everything, get rid of regulations, engage in mass deportations, put tariffs in place, all of which will tank the economy. So if being understaffed means they don't have the people to do these things,

Then that might actually be a good thing. So, I guess in a roundabout kind of way, these loyalty tests that apparently everybody is failing might be the only thing that saves the country. Or it could do the exact opposite because once they run out of qualified people who don't meet their MAGA loyalty criteria, they're gonna start reaching out to unqualified people. Hell, they may even start having to scour prisons for Capitol rioters willing to take these jobs. 'cause they know those people aren't gonna turn on Donald Trump. So maybe the staffing issues help prevent some horrible things, or probably far more likely they make things so much worse either way. Not a good look for the US government.
