Trump Brings Back His Most Toxic Officials

CNN: “At least four people from Donald Trump’s first term who were deemed too extreme or politically toxic to win Senate confirmation – or even keep their jobs – are now back in the fold and in some cases with more power than before.”

“All of them were in some way demoted or removed from their jobs in Trump’s first term but have now been reappointed or renominated – part of a pattern in Trump’s second term to bring back figures once rejected for promoting conspiracy theories or inflaming racial and gender tensions.”

“In 2025, they’re no longer fringe – they’re in charge.”
