Following President-elect Donald Trump‘s crushing victory last week, the focus has shifted to who will man his second administration. Davis, who has been floated as a likely pick for attorney general, told Politico that loyalty and competence would be the central traits for all new staffers.

“Dear Trump Job Seekers: Long time, no chat,” Davis wrote in a post on X after Trump’s electoral victory. “Before asking me for help, I am going to ask you to provide me specific and concrete evidence of your łoyalty to Trump. If you cannot provide a lot of that, stop asking me. Political appointments require both competency and loyalty.”

Staffing was a consistent complaint from the first Trump administration, with many Trump loyalists viewing disloyalty as a main impediment to Trump’s agenda.

A central part of Project 2025, though not affiliated with the Trump campaign, was providing a network of possible loyalist staffers. The ensuing controversy around the project has left usage of the network uncertain.

Davis has promised much if he is a Trump Cabinet pick, vowing in an interview with conservative influencer Benny Johnson to “rain hell on Washington, D.C.”

“I have five lists ready to go, and they’re growing. List No. 1 — we’re gonna fire. We’re gonna fire a lot of people in the executive branch of the deep state,” he said. “No. 2 — we’re gonna indict. We’re gonna indict Joe Biden and Hunter Biden and James Biden and every other scumball, sleazeball Biden, except for the 5-year-old granddaughter who they refused to acknowledge for five years until political pressure got to Joe Biden.”

Davis then promised to deport over 10 million people and pardon the Jan. 6 riot defendants.

However, the possible attorney general pick has said many of his statements are only trolling, being dubbed by Politico Trump’s “troll-in-chief.”
