Trump's team is vetting job candidates with 'strange' questions - Bloomberg.


U.S. President Donald Trump's team is vetting candidates for government positions to ensure their loyalty. One of the key questions is whether they recognize Trump as the winner of the 2020 election. This information has come from sources in American media.
Moreover, candidates are asked about their views on the events of January 6, 2021, when Trump's supporters stormed the Capitol in Washington.
Job vacancies for assistant and deputy minister positions, as well as positions for employees who will work with leaders, are open for filling. The political activities of candidates are coordinated by Sergio Gor, who had connections with Trump. Details of these vettings have become known through anonymous sources.
The Trump administration demands a high level of loyalty from candidates, which goes beyond standard practices. This is becoming a sign of crisis in the U.S. as employees of important agencies are selected not for their professional qualities but for their loyalty to the president. The last Time a situation like this occurred was during McCarthyism in the 1950s.
