Former President Donald Trump's top allies are preparing to purge potentially thousands of career civil servants and install MAGA loyalists in key administration positions if he wins the 2024 presidential election, according to Axios.

Trumpworld is already lining up names of loyalists to fill top jobs if Trump returns to the White House in 2025, including former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark, who tried to take over the DOJ to help Trump overturn his election loss. Other names for top administration roles include Kash Patel, a former top aide to ex-Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., who helped run interference in the Mueller probe; former adviser Peter Navarro, who played a key role in pushing Trump's Big Lie about the election; and Stephen Miller, the architect of Trump's controversial family separation policy.
