The White House has started looking for interns — but there is a catch — it's unpaid, and applicants are required to be Trump administration fans.
The White House Internship Program gives young workers 10- to 12-week in-person working experiences throughout the administration, The New Republic reported. And while the economy takes a downturn, it appears the Trump team has an idea of who they want to hire for the roles.
"As the U.S. job market continues to crumble, Donald Trump’s White House is looking to hire a new batch of sycophant interns—but won’t pay them for their devotion or their time," according to The New Republic.
The application also has a series of very specific questions.
“Describe how President Trump’s vision for the country has influenced your decision to apply to the White House Internship Program,” one portion of the application read.
“In your view, which current Cabinet Secretary do you most admire and believe best demonstrates effective leadership?” Another question asks.
The biggest difference between the previous internship opportunities and Trump's administration is the compensation and expanding reach to different applicants.
"Notably, the posting for the White House’s internship program made no mention of payment or a stipend, while during President Joe Biden’s administration, White House interns were paid a stipend of $750 per week," The New Republic reported. "A June 2022 press release announcing the paid internships stated that unpaid federal internships had been a 'barrier to hardworking and talented students and professionals.'"
