I suspect it'll be someone they already talked to... Not a crazy person... Someone a bit out of left field who we have not heard much, if any, mention of... I bet it's going to be interesting.

The office was run by Johnny McEntee. Just 29 when he got the job, hed come up as Trumps body guythe kid who carried the candidates bags. One of Trumps most high-profile Cabinet secretaries described him to me as a fucking idiot. But in 2020, his power was undeniable. Trump knew he was the one person willing to do anything Trump wanted. As another senior official told me, He became the deputy president.
McEntee and his enforcers made the disastrous last weeks of the Trump presidency possible. They backed the presidents manic drive to overturn the election, and helped set the stage for the January 6 assault on the Capitol. Thanks to them, in the end, the elusive adults in the roomthose who might have been willing to confront the president or try to control his most destructive tendencieswere silenced or gone. But McEntee was therebossing around Cabinet secretaries, decapitating the civilian leadership at the Pentagon, and forcing officials high and low to state their allegiance to Trump.

of the White House Presidential Personnel Office, is spreading the
word throughout the administration that if he hears of anyone looking
for another job they will be fired.
