Party time! Don’s staff ‘frat’ house

- Denis Slattery

WORKING FOR the Trump administra­tion can be quite a party.

The White House office in charge of recruiting and vetting political appointees under President Trump is staffed by a crew of young, inexperien­ced administra­tors who host happy hour parties, play drinking games and spend their time vaping in the office, according to a report Friday.

The PPO, which stands for Presidenti­al Personnel Office, is located on the first floor of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, across the street from the White House.

The office is populated by former Trump campaigner­s and the friends and relatives of top officials, according to the Washington Post.

Young staffers from all parts of the administra­tion are drawn to the anything goes atmosphere of the office.

Parties include sophomoric games such as “Icing,” in which someone is forced to chug a bottle of Smirnoff Ice.

Workers lounge on couches and puff on electronic cigarettes, partake in frat party antics and imbibe beer, wine and snacks, the Washington Post found.

The White House admitted that some shindigs were held in the office that involved alcohol, but marked the in-house happy hours up to hard workers blowing off steam.
