Former President Donald Trump plans to build a Cabinet and select White House staff based on two criteria: pre-vetted loyalty to him and a commitment to pushing legal and governance boundaries, sources who talk often with the GOP nomination frontrunner told Axios.
The sources added that should he win in 2024, Trump would seek out loyalists who share his enthusiasm for punishing critics, disregarding opponents and making controversial legal and military moves, filling the most powerful government roles with men like ex-Trump senior advisor Stephen Miller, Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance and former Pentagon chief of staff Kash Patel.
