My Take
Dan Scavino's trajectory is one of the strangest in modern American politics, and that is exactly why I find him worth studying. A golf club manager who rose to White House deputy chief of staff is not a career anyone could have planned; it speaks to the premium today's politics places on loyalty and digital instinct over conventional credentials. Whatever one thinks of his politics, his core skill is real: he grasped earlier than most operatives that a social media feed could work as a direct broadcast channel. He wields influence almost entirely offstage, rarely giving interviews, which makes him a strikingly modern figure - power as proximity, not visibility.
