Loyalty tests and MAGA checks: Inside the Trump White House's intense screening of job-seekers

Job-seekers hoping to join the new Trump administration are facing a series of intense loyalty tests. And White House screening teams are fanning out to government agencies and carefully going through applicants’ politics and social media posts. President Donald Trump believed the biggest mistake he made during his first term was hiring what he considered to be the wrong kinds of people. Now, aides are working to ensure the government is filled only with loyalists. Negative social media posts have been enough to derail applications. Job-seekers have been told they'll have to prove their “enthusiasm” to implement Trump’s agenda and they've been asked when their moment of “MAGA revelation” occurred.
