‘It’s like Game of Thrones’: Inside the jockeying for Trump administration jobs
Washington, D.C. is abuzz with intrigue these days as top political operatives jockey for coveted positions in the incoming Trump administration. The jockeying for power has been likened to the cutthroat political maneuvering of HBO’s hit series, “Game of Thrones.”
As with any new administration, there are a limited number of high-profile positions to be filled, and those who are seeking those positions are doing everything they can to secure their place at the table. The competition is fierce, with some candidates even resorting to backbiting and underhanded tactics in order to gain an edge.
One source close to the transition team said that the atmosphere is “like Game of Thrones.”
“Everyone is trying to position themselves for power,” said the source. “There are a lot of backstabbing and betrayals.”
It will be interesting to see who ultimately emerges victorious in the Trump administration’s “Game of Thrones.”
