As part of the process to land a job in Donald Trump's second administration, hopeful applicants are being asked to provide standard résumés and also include documentation on efforts they made to support him in the past.
According to a report from Politico, the President-elect has had a large pool of candidates to choose from as he started doling out prestigious positions in his next administration with many of them having been runner-ups to incoming Vice President J.D. Vance.
As Joe Borelli, the New York City Council minority leader who advised Trump after his 2016 win, put it, He didnt have a moob like Chris Christie running the transition team without actually thinking about who would fill some of the important spots. This go-around Team Trump knew they were in the catbird position and had a clear depth chart of folks for consideration.
As part of that process, job seekers are required to, file not just a resume and cover letter but a document indicating everything they have done to support Trump whether that be through positive media interviews, fundraising or volunteering."
The report adds that those who were also-runs to Vance should count themsleves lucky with Politico's Jeff Coltin and Kimberly Leonard writing, "Vance was relentlessly pilloried on the campaign trail. And Trump has turned against a vice president before reportedly expressing support for the Jan. 6 rioters chanting 'Hang Mike Pence.'"

I'm increasingly of the opinion that the Trump administration will collapse under the weight of its own incompetence.
The question then becomes, what of the fallout from this for us all?

The Bulwark's editor-in-chief continued to express his disgust Tuesday with Donald Trump's Cabinet appointees who have allegations revolving around sex scandals in their past.
Fox News weekend host Pete Hegseth reportedly reached a financial settlement with a woman accused him of sexual assault during a Republican women's conference in 2017. He has denied the allegations and maintained the encounter was consensual.
Former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) was under investigation over allegations including sexual misconduct with a 17-year-old. He, too, has denied any wrongdoing......
"There is a moral dimension; you are talking about horrific behavior. Behavior that many people who voted for Donald Trump would never tolerate in their community in their family, in any context whatsoever. And yet Donald Trump is, you know, one appointment after another, it's almost as if this is now a requirement on your resume you have to have a sexual abuse or allegation against you."
