No wonder the Russians like him so much. He may not study their history but he’s definitely on their wavelength:
Johnny McEntee called in White House liaisons from cabinet agencies for an introductory meeting Thursday, in which he askedthem to identify political appointees across the U.S. government who are believed to be anti-Trump, three sources familiar with the meeting tell Axios.
McEntee, a 29-year-old former body man to Trump who was fired in 2018 by then-Chief of Staff John Kelly but recently rehired — and promoted to head the presidential personnel office — foreshadowed sweeping personnel changes across government.
- But McEntee suggested the most dramatic changes may have to wait until after the November election.
- Trump has empowered McEntee — whom he considers an absolute loyalist — to purge the “bad people” and “Deep State.”
- McEntee told staff that those identified as anti-Trump will no longer get promotions by shifting them around agencies.
This was the guy originally hired to bring Trump his diet cokes and carry his bags. He was fired because he is a degenerate gambler and was a security threat. But Trumpie likes him — he’s a good lookin’ guy right out of central casting:
There’s a limited amount they can get accomplished before the election although I’m sure they’ll try. If he wins, however, I think we’re looking at an escalation that could threaten many people, including those who are not in the government. We can certainly expect the full use of law enforcement and intelligence capacity to eliminate threats to Trump.
That may sound hyperbolic. But is it?
