Team Trump lowered the bar for working at the White House — and they still can't find people.
More than a year and a half into his term, the Trump White House still can’t find qualified peoplewho want to work under him.
Already anxious to dismantle a large portion of the federal government by leaving thousands of vacancies unfilled, Trump in turn can’t attract top-flight candidates. And to battle the personnel drought, the White House is cutting all kinds of corners.
When it vetted candidates, the Obama team used a questionnaire with 63 queries about employment, finances, writings, and social media posts. “The Trump team cut the number of questions to twenty-five, by dropping the requests for professional references and tax returns and removing items concerning loans, personal income, and real-estate holdings,” The New Yorker reports. “The questionnaire was speckled with typos, and seemed carelessly put together.”
And yet, the massive shortages persist. One reason is because the Trump team has blackballed a whole portion of would-be GOP employees because they expressed opposition to Trump during the 2016 campaign.
