Has Trump rehired anyone from his previous administration? I know he fired a shit ton of them but I know a few managed to stay on.
Because if this is all new people, it's very telling and I have a feeling it means it's going to be more dangerous and not less.
I feel like the only people who can do anything powerful would be the front line government workers and contractors. If they all quit their jobs en masse on January 20th, it might prevent the new administration from doing even more dangerous shit.
Susie Wiles as White House Chief of Staff, I believe. She didn't serve in an office before, but was high-level in his campaign in 2016, 2020, and 2024, so she's around for a long time.

Didn't just show up with Trump, has done Republican campaigns for a long time.
