I discussed the potential dynamics of a second Trump presidency and the critical questions surrounding his leadership and what his administration might look like. While uncertainty remains about who will surround him, there’s a clear desire to be part of an administration with unprecedented control—both in the White House and, potentially, Congress. The key question is: who will he bring into his team? While it’s unclear, loyalty is likely to remain a defining characteristic of his leadership style, influencing both his cabinet and his policies. Beyond staffing, there are reputational risks for those considering working in an administration with few checks and balances, and critical positions like Treasury Secretary remain up in the air.
