Idk why but I wanna slap him so bad. Like dude that brow smirk makes you look like a moron
Mmmmmuh'lady
More concerned with the 22 then what he was doing at 17. I'm not against younger blood in leadership roles but you got to have done the job at least somewhat. If the guy was 35 or so and had been at it for a decade, that'd be a different beast. This feels like a nepo hire
Not necessarily a nepo hire, but they are scraping the barrel.
Project 2025's playbook was to fire all the existing people in the federal government and replace them with Trump loyalists. To that end, they created a list of pre-vetted replacements.
Problem is, those people are vetted for loyalty first, and competence a distant second. Also, a lot of them likely have jobs already that are more lucrative than a federal position. In other cases, their circumstances change in the months in between vetting and the offer becoming concrete. So even though they may have a few thousand people on the list, a big chunk of them aren't going to accept when the time comes. Those that do aren't necessarily going to be qualified in any way.
What may be surprising here is that they're scraping the bottom so quickly. You'd think out of several thousand possibilities, they could find someone more qualified than this guy.
This tends to be destructive in the short term, because incompetent people are making important decisions. In the long term, it's one of the self-defeating factors of fascism. A system just can't work this way, but it can destroy the rest of society before it implodes on itself.
Or someone he can easily control.
I feel like.. Were caveman smarter than us? Feel like they would of solved this long ago.
I feel that someone with a large, heavy club could solve a few of our issues. Caveman tactics still work!
Why is he making that face. lmfao
Looks like a B movie or kids movie villain.
If anyone is wondering the connection:
This guy had internships at the Heritage Foundation and did some service as a special assistant in a DHS immigration office.
Heritage foundation strikes again with installing young puppets.
his experience at Four Seasons Total Landscaping also helped

he's a yes man, that trump is gonna steamroll over at trump's earliest. THank you for your attention to this matter.
Also will probably be a strawman, and fired or jailed when Trump fucks up, blaming others as always.

Got it, he wants US to burn.
it's inspiring that in the states you can be a convicted felon, and/or just a totally unqualified moron with no experience in any sort of political office (see: POTUS) and get a high profile position in the federal government. america truly is the land of opportunity
