Washington (CNN) -- Candidates applying to join President Donald Trump's administration will now have to explain what part of Trump's campaign message "most appealed" to them and why.

The question is one of several Trump-focused litmus tests that has been added to a questionnaire that candidates for political appointments across the federal government must now complete.
The new questionnaire, distributed by the White House's Presidential Personnel Office to federal departments on Monday and obtained by CNN, is the latest move by the office's new head John McEntee to emphasize loyalty to the President in the hiring process.
Trump tapped McEntee, a longtime aide and loyalist, to head the personnel office last month amid his renewed focus on purging officials whom he deems to have been disloyal to him and hiring those who have long supported him.
