John David McEntee II (born May 9, 1990) is an American political advisor and dating app CEO who served in the Trump administration. He has been a Trump loyalist during and after the Trump presidency.[1][2] He began as a body man and personal aide to the president but was dismissed by White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly in March 2018 after failing a security clearance background check, which discovered he was under investigation by the Department of Homeland Security due to issues related to gambling.[3][4][5][6][7]
After Kelly was dismissed in December 2018, Donald Trump rehired McEntee and named him Director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office in February 2020.[8][9][10][11] After leaving the White House, McEntee founded The Right Stuff, a dating app for conservatives, which he leads as CEO. Through his promotion of the app on TikTok and Instagram, McEntee has become a social media user, having amassed millions of followers to his social media handle "@DateRightStuff".[12][13][non-primary source needed][14][non-primary source needed]
