In this podcast episode, the focus is on how Donald Trump is shaping his new administration after his re-election. The task of filling thousands of positions is immense, and the episode emphasizes how loyalty plays a crucial role in Trump's hiring decisions. This contrasts with his first term, where he often clashed with staff he deemed disloyal. Leading the staffing effort is billionaire Howard Lutnick, who aims for a more organized transition than in 2016. The episode also profiles potential candidates for key roles, such as Susie Wiles for Chief of Staff and either Scott Besant or John Paulson for Treasury Secretary. Additionally, it touches on the influence of notable figures like Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. However, despite all the preparations, Trump's unpredictability continues to be a significant factor in the process.
