Am I cabinet secretary or a low level analyst in a Department?

4 year gap if cabinet

4 years in the admin if low level analyst. Government still needs to function and Trump’s ramblings would likely not affect my day-to-day nor would I interact with him

The way I see it If you’re a cabinet secretary you’d be too visible to hide it. Seems weird to put a gap as a cabinet member. Also you’re basically courted by the president and asked to serve which is impressive on its own.

If you’re a low level analyst, you’re not influencing anything. Wouldnt you be more inclined to hide it?

This is an excellent question

Working in the Trump Admin brought a tremendous amount of wealth and power to their bosses. Most corporate bosses will be more than okay with that.

Is 4 years in federal prison an option?

In direct response there will be plenty of places for these people to land. Even Spicey got a job after his White House debacle. And Ronna McDaniel just got re-elected at the DNC. But most of the jobs traditionally open to ex White House staffers - law firms, real lobbying firms, think tanks, colleges, etc - are going to be unavailable to many of them, especially the political people. The exceptions will be people like O’Brien and Cippollone, who will present at adults who kept Trump on the rails.

That’s easy! Four year gap.

Saw this in WAPO: Randall Lane, the editor of Forbes magazine, has announced that if private companies hire Trump press officials who lied to the public, “Forbes will assume that everything your company or firm talks about is a lie.” Publishers can certainly hold authors who peddled lies about the 2020 election to a more rigorous fact-checking standard than currently is the norm.

Ok, I’m gonna say this. Schools should open. Now hear me out.
