President Trump’s Deputy Chief Of Staff Dan Scavino Just Got A New Job

President Trump has elevated longtime aide Dan Scavino to a key decision-making role—tasking him with heading the White House Presidential Personnel Office, which oversees staffing across the administration. This move follows the nomination of Sergio Gor, the prior office chief, as ambassador to India and special envoy for South and Central Asia.

Scavino isn’t just any appointee—he’s a deeply trusted confidante, having served as Trump’s social media director, senior digital strategist, and most recently deputy chief of staff. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt praised his loyalty and alignment with the “America First” agenda. By placing him in charge of hiring and firing, Trump ensures that administrative power stays closely tied to his inner circle.

Under Scavino’s predecessor, vetting questions apparently gauged loyalty to Trump’s narratives—especially around the 2020 election and January 6. With Scavino at the helm, that loyalty test likely continues, shaping who rises through the ranks of the administration.

Scavino’s unusual career path—from playing Trump’s teenage golf caddie to leading all executive-branch staffing—underscores a broader strategy: placing decades-long allies in critical roles. His new position gives him substantial influence over the future direction and ideological composition of the administration.
