Donald Trump is already assembling a shortlist of loyalists for the most powerful jobs in government if he's re-elected to a second term.

The former president is eying Stephen Miller, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), Kash Patel and possibly even Steve Bannon and Jared Kushner to build a Cabinet and White House staff committed to stretching the boundaries of both the law and government, sources who speak often with Trump told Axios.

"Trump hasn't settled on specific roles for specific figures, and hates it when his staff and friends speculate otherwise," the website reported. "It's not in his DNA to do detailed personnel planning, and a lot depends on the last few people he's talked to. But in rolling conversations with friends and advisers, he's been clear about the type of men — and they're almost all older, white men — he'd want to serve at his pleasure if he were to win a second term."

The ex-president openly discusses his potential running mate with friends, bandying about Vance, Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Kari Lake and South Dakota Go. Kristi Noem, while Reps. Byron Donalds (R-FL) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) have made clear they'd love the job, but Melania Trump has been pushing for former Fox News host Tucker Carlson and would even hit the campaign trail if he was the pick.
