Trumpism 2.0: The personnel needed to make the former president's policies possible

Former President Donald Trump is the undisputed frontrunner for the 2024 Republican nomination.

But questions remain about who would staff his administration in a second term.

Trump has outlined an ambitious agenda of tariffs, sweeping changes to the federal bureaucracy, and drastic actions to curb crime.

Many loyalists from the first Trump term could be found working for him a second time.

There were ideological disagreements, with a mix of populists, older-line movement conservatives, and the “ Bushies” Trump alluded to in his Carlson interview.

Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump were centrists by inclination.

There was also a desire to heal rifts from the contentious Republican primaries, which led to the prioritization of policy goals Trump shared with GOP congressional leadership.
