In case you were wondering about the kind of top-tier talent the Donald Trump White House is Peggy Markoffinterested in bringing in to lead the country through a particularly tough time, don't worry because its latest hire is a... oh, uh... a former Disney Channel star.
Ok.
SEE ALSO: Craigslist ad seeking attorney for 'difficult client' in D.C. is the ultimate Trump trollBreaking his Fox News precedent, Trump is bringing Caroline Sunshine on as a press assistant in the White House. Sunshine is best known to people under the age of 20 as European exchange student Tinka Hessenheffer on Disney's Zendaya-and-Bella-Thorne-starring series Shake It Up, which ran from 2010 to 2013.
Feel free to make all the jokes you need to about a star from a show called Shake It Up becoming part of a White House that is often loves shaking things up.
Go ahead, I'll wait.
So, yeah, it's a unique pick but quite out of left field as appears at first blush: Sunshine actually has a background in politics! It's a short background, yes, and mostly features the word "intern" but compared to some of the other hires Trump has made, her experience makes her a seasoned veteran.
Sunshine is something of a Young Republican stalwart, with a White House spokesperson bragging to CNN that she's interned for Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), as well as for the College Republican National Committee and the California Republican Party.
Capping it all off, she's a known entity to the White House where she recently interned.
Fans of the show and people like myself who have watched a handful of clips on YouTube in the last hour or so will notice that, in the Shake It Upuniverse, Tinka and her brother Gunther seem to be of a German background, though their country is apparently never named on the show and thus they're just vaguely European.
But she's probably not Russia, which is good for Trump!

Since the end of Shake It Up's run, Sunshine has cropped up in a few projects, including a small role in the intriguingly titled Lifetime movie Mommy I Didn't Do It, but she's mostly been focused on college and all that interning work.
And now she's off on a new adventure of several months in the White House before she takes her turn through the revolving door of people chased off by a tweet-happy, burn-it-all-down president.
