White House seeks 'sycophant interns' willing to work for free as economy crumbles: report

By Nicole Charky-Chami
Published April 1, 2026 5:10 PM ET

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 Groom of the Stool was a male servant in the household of the English monarch who was responsible for assisting the king in his toileting needs.[3] It is a matter of some debate as to whether the duties involved cleaning the king's anus, but the groom is known to have been responsible for supplying a bowl, water and towels and also for monitoring the king's diet and bowel movements[4] and liaising with the Royal Doctor about the king's health.[
