Trump White House Still Vetting for Job Openings For a Second Term That's Not Happening

In yet another sign that the president is for now refusing to initiate a smooth, orderly transition of power to President-elect Joe Biden, Donald Trump’s White House is continuing to vet possible political appointees for a second term—despite the fact that there isn’t going to be one.

According to two sources familiar with the situation, as well as written communications reviewed by The Daily Beast, the White House Presidential Personnel Office (PPO) is still in the process of vetting candidates for job openings in various parts of the federal government, positions that the White House intended to fill by early next year. The office, which is tasked with staffing the federal agencies, is headed by Trump uber-loyalist and purge-overseer John McEntee. And it is still contacting listed references and conducting background checks, even though major networks called the 2020 presidential election for Biden on Saturday.

That'll sure calm him down.

jobs are poof! I think that this is all smoke in the air, to muddy the waters when Biden does take the reins of government. What worries me more, is the crap that we don't see happening...

as of reports yesterday.

Oh yeah, I’ll bet they’d have some real outstanding candidates trying to get in on that sinking ship.
