headhunters can't find jobs for former Trump officials

TFG did not hire the best. Most of the idiots in TFG's administration were idiots and so no one should be surprised that these idiots cannot find jobs




Many of Donald Trump’s ex-aides, including some Cabinet secretaries, are struggling to find new Washington jobs, The Washington Post reported.

Recruiters who spoke on the condition of anonymity told the The Washington Post that former President Trump’s unpopularity has deterred companies from hiring former administration officials.


The headhunters said that offering a board seat to someone associated with the Trump administration could trigger a revolt from customers, employees or shareholders.

“Boards don’t need trouble or criticism,” one headhunter told the Post. “If you want to stay away from all that potential tarnish, that’s easy: You just don’t go near it.”

one recruiter told Business Insider. “You’re supposed to put anyone in front of a job that has the credentials. Morally, it’s hard for people to want to work with them.”

I pray they downsize their expectations and get a security guard licence and find a good honest night job where they can bother the fewest people possible.

Doesn't have anything to do with their *own* personal milestones in the field of dumbfuckery which they pursued without restraint ?

"I put hundreds of kids in cages, but now no one wants to hire me -- I don't get it" ??

"I once rated my own personal flag and medal, and now I'm a pariah ? What's with that ?"

"I grifted millions in taxpayer funds for my own personal benefit, and there's no place for me in business ? Get outa here!"

(Actually, that last one does seem a little surprising.)

for a job at MickeyD's flipping burgers, but they fit right in the Trump administration because they'd do anything he said. Ass kissing was the only qualification required for a job in his administration. Independent thinking was certainly discouraged.

And the company bearing his infinitely-mockable "name" is on the skids.

I'd say they're damned lucky they got furloughed!!

Either they put on their resume that they worked in the tRump administration which is a huge red flag or they have this 'gap' in their employment history, another red flag. Of course they can always lie. That's the TFG way.
