Trump is clearly not happy with many of his key hires during his first term in office, regularly slamming former lackeys like Attorney General Bill Barr, Chief of Staff John Kelly, and National Security Adivser John Bolton. Axios reported in 2022 that Trump planned to ensure the loyalty not just of his high-profile appointments, should he win in 2024, but of thousands of mid-level staffers working throughout the government. Political views, rather than credentials or experience, are driving the process.

The outlet reported on Monday that the effort is well underway — and it’s sophisticated. The campaign is contracting “smart, experienced people, many with very unconventional and elastic views of presidential power and traditional rule of law,” according to Axios, to ensure new hires are fully onboard with the brutal policy proposals Trump has floated. It’s also using AI to vet potentail staffers, including by srubbing their social media.

    Every single network, media outlet, etc. needs to be sounding the alarm about Project 2025. I sincerely believe it to be the most dangerous plan ever laid out for this country. It is a terrifying read and it’s by the people that successfully high jacked SCOTUS as they enable forced birth across the nation.

    This is not tinfoil hate nonsense. This is not undue panic. This is a very real, very wild threat, and I do not understand why it isn’t being plastered everywhere. They are literally telling us their plan and taken at face value it’s shocking.
