As part of the process to land a job in Donald Trump's second administration, hopeful applicants are being asked to provide standard resumes 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 didn’t 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.”ALSO READ: Why Trump voters should be held accountable for their choiceAs 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 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.

Donald Trump "exploded" after viewing a dossier on one of his campaign aides, according to a new report.One member of Trump's orbit wrote a tell-all book outlining alleged infighting on that team, and now he's in line to get his foot in the door of the next Trump administration, and "the fangs are out," according to reporting from Politico."The last time Cliff Sims was this close to presidential power, he coined an indelible phrase for the cut-throat coterie around Donald Trump — it was a 'Team of Vipers,' as he titled his 2019 tell-all. Now a key member of the Trump transition, Sims is showing that he knows his way around the old snake pit," the report says.ALSO READ: Why Trump voters should be held accountable for their choiceIt continues:"That has become clear in recent weeks, when he turned into the subject of a Mar-a-Lago whisper campaign that arose alongside frustrations over the spate of leaks coming out of the transition: Why, some MAGA insiders who spoke with POLITICO wondered, was a guy who had publicly portrayed the Trump White House as a den of backstabbers and turf-warriors tied to the hip of transition co-chair Howard Lutnick?"The report quotes two "well-placed Republicans" speaking anonymously who said Trump barely recognized Sims, and asked for information about him."After an aide put a folder of clips about Sims and his book on Trump’s desk, he exploded. Trump was 'beyond pissed,' according to one of the people familiar with the confrontation, and demanded he be removed," the report says. "Yet as of Friday, Sims remains on the job — and could be in line for a plum administration post."People close to Trump, including J.D. Vance, issued statements defending Sims, yet Politico reports that others are still concerned about his potential position in the incoming president's administration.Read the full report here.

President-elect Donald Trump's MAGA advisers are setting him up to fail on a global scale when he returns to the White House in 2025, a new political analysis contends. Trump supporters such as Tucker Carlson have been urging an action that Washington Post global opinions writer Josh Rogin argued Wednesday would threaten American influence abroad and the president-elect's reputation at home. "His MAGA advisers are pushing him toward a policy that would be disastrous...for American influence and for Trump’s own place in history,' wrote Rogin. "They’re urging him to withhold U.S. aid to push Ukraine into a negotiation on terms Ukrainians fear would amount to a surrender to Russian President Vladimir Putin."ALSO READ: The one belief that predicted Trump voters with scary accuracyTrump has multiple anti-Ukraine advisers in his orbit, among them his eldest son, Vice President-elect J.D. Vance and Carlson, who has been openly taunting Ukraine with threats about U.S. aid, Rogin reported. But conservatives such as former British prime minister Boris Johnson fear withholding U.S. aid would be calamitous for both Ukraine and the president-elect, according to Rogin. Johnson argued such a withdrawal would be seen as a sign of American weakness and could encourage Putin to attempt toppling the government in Kyiv, Rogin reported.“You have to make the argument to Trump, ‘Do you want this on your legacy, that you lost the first war of the 21st century to Vladimir Putin?’” Johnson said. “It’s going to be worse than Vietnam or Afghanistan.”At home, dozens of Republican lawmakers support Ukraine, among them the chairs of the House Intelligence Committee, House Foreign Affairs Committee and House Armed Services Committee, Rogin reported. Trump's presumed secretary of state choice Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) has also called for negotiations on terms not favorable to Putin. Rogin on Wednesday urged Trump to heed the warnings of such conservatives."He has the chance to be remembered not as a president who immediately capitulated to Putin, but as one who turned a precarious moment into a historic achievement," Rogin wrote. "If Trump pushes for a rushed deal on Putin’s terms, the outcome would probably be neither stable nor lasting."

The Russian government has long held that Donald Trump is to their benefit, as it went so far as to interfere on his behalf in the 2016 election, and then enjoyed years of relative friendliness as Vladimir Putin and Trump were together on the world stage. But that doesn't mean Russia's rich and powerful are skipping with joy about his re-election this time around.According to Bloomberg News, the Russian billionaires colloquially known as "oligarchs" do not expect Trump to lift the sanctions imposed by the West on the Russian economy, and don't believe his promises of peace."While they don’t expect a collapse that would force Putin to end his invasion of Ukraine, half a dozen tycoons interviewed by Bloomberg News said Russia’s economy has changed significantly since the fighting started and that makes long-term targets look unreachable," said the report. Furthermore, with respect to Ukraine, "most doubted the war will end soon, even as Trump has pledged to bring it to a rapid conclusion."ALSO READ: 'Not normal times': Ex-intel officials brace for retribution following J.D. Vance vowRussia's invasion of Ukraine, which Putin initially described as a "special operation" that would be in and out quickly, has evolved into an open-ended quagmire with both sides entrenched in a bloody, protracted conflict. Ukraine has held firm, refusing to negotiate against its own land and sovereignty on the world stage. However, sanctions against Russia, though they have caused severe economic damage, have so far not stopped its war machine.This comes despite the fact that international companies with interests in Russia jumped in share price at the result of the U.S. election.Behind the scenes, the sanctions appear to have done more damage than Putin is willing to let on, said the report: "Russia’s economy faces troubling structural changes, according to some of the tycoons. The exit of international companies degraded manufacturing capacity, particularly in the technology and machinery sectors. The defense industry’s demands increasingly shape the war economy, import substitution is proceeding slowly and the army’s need for more new troops is intensifying labor shortages, they said" — and they don't expect Trump's victory alters this situation much.Trump and running mate J.D. Vance have signaled a disinterest in continuing support for the Ukraine war; however, many of Trump's initial executive branch picks appear to be conventional neoconservatives who have backed the fight against Russia, like Rep. Mike Rogers (R-AL).
