Some Trump aides stuck with him till the end. Now they're screwed.

Many other aides have left his side, eager to start anew far away from their former boss. White House aides and administration officials who once relished their West Wing perches have jetted off on remote getaways — cashing in on a mountain of unused vacation time. Others are frantically asking former colleagues for help finding work as they prioritize their own careers over whatever chapter Trump is planning for himself.

“There’s a lot of resumé passing and people just wanting to help people land on their feet,” said a former Trump White House official.

It’s not been easy. Tainted by Trump’s reputation, several Trump aides described an increasingly bleak job market with virtually no chance of landing jobs in corporate America and some even having seen promising leads disappear after the rampage at the U.S. Capitol. A second former White House official said they knew of “people who got jobs rescinded because of Jan. 6.” A Republican strategist was blunter.

“They are really f---ed,” the strategist said, pointing to some top officials who stuck with Trump until the bitter end. “The Hill scramble, one of the few places where they’d be welcomed, already happened a month or so ago… They were told over and over to take their hand off the hot stove, and they didn’t want to listen.”

1. Good, that's what they get for working for a psychopath

[Poiuyt]

8. Not just working for a pschopath, but worshiping him too.

2. Who really wants toxic employees who have well demonstrated what they are about.

... except similar operations perhaps with a sociopathic narcissistic liar.

3. This is why 1st-tier (and even 2nd-tier) professionals said NO. . .

. . . to working for Trump's mis-administration or the federal government early on.

They knew from the get-go that working for him would be a black spot on their resumes.

5. I was thinking the same thing! Trump couldn't get anyone qualified to work for him

He had to settle on all the leftovers.

12. I think it's in John Bolton's book...

He consulted with Henry Kissinger and/or James Baker III who told him not to go near this administration.

He decided to do it after his "demands" were met, but I imagine he has regrets.

4. Well, I don't feel sorry for them. Not even a little bit.

They are sad 4th string opportunists that worked with an administration that broke laws and has zero ethical considerations. They are part of an administration that tried to overthrow the government. Who wants to hire that steaming pile of crap into their offices? Yikes. No thanks.

6. Didn't Trump rescind his EO against lobbying in the last few days?

Wonder if it helped any. Sure hope not.

7. They should do what they tell us, "pull on your bootstraps". And the other one I like is..

"You just failed to prepare."

[musclecar6]

9. Yep

I’m sure they’ll hear more than a few times “ you mean you are so fucking stupid you couldn’t see through that one way only cares about himself profoundly incompetent crazy psychopathic not job” !?!?!?!?!?!

We don’t want anybody working for us who is that dense!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GTFOH.

10. They were Trump's helpers and enablers and should be treated as such

Normal people don't work for Donald Trump.

11. The ugly little secret...

is that in any large corporation, there is plenty of room for "executive" level jobs for hangers on and family or friends. If the companies wanted to find positions for these folks, they would. The fact that there are "no jobs" for them is indication of how toxic Trump & Co has been.

The Trump stain lingers. Maybe they can all work for the My Pillow guy.
