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
Why is he making that face. lmfao
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.
Hahahahahhhahhahah
We're all going to die
gardening and grocery store experience? overqualified for this administration for sure
Trump Appoints 22-Year-Old Ex-Gardener and Grocery Store Assistant to ~~Lead U.S. Terror Prevention~~ scape goat.
FTFY
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
This is his actual professional portrait btw
And the US just officially warned Iran “not to retaliate”. I think we know what’s coming, lads.
That one of the DOGE-cunts?
No, he's a poly-sci graduate: moldable lump of clay setup by the Heritage Foundation to sink or swim. Seems like he hasn't screwed up badly enough to be coat-hooked offstage just yet.
Mission failed: Just seeing his face makes me want to strap C4 around my chest and walk into the RNC.
That fucking eyebrow
He seems like he's as incredulous about his position as the rest of us are. like "Really? Me? fucken really?"
Does lemmy have punchablefaces yet?
I feel like.. Were caveman smarter than us? Feel like they would of solved this long ago.
Looks like a B movie or kids movie villain.
The state is run by kids movie villians doing ww2 movie crimes.
The inexperienced 22-year-old reportedly tasked by Donald Trump with tackling U.S. extremism
so he's gonna impeach trump?
trump, like putin thrives on incompetance simply because they would be too disorganized to perform a "coup" against him.
Are you sure this guy didn't star in a Dreamworks movie? That eyebrow lmao
these aren't secretaries and ministers of organized government
it's capos and yes men of organized crime.
Putin's agent?
Stop using people’s work history at menial Jobs as way to attack them. Aoc was a bartender. All you’re doing is being an elitist.
His past work as a gardener or grocery store worker shouldn’t be the headline here. Looking down at the working class is a dick move no matter who you are.
I’m sure this guy has plenty of stupid and his leanings aren’t good. But don’t attack him for being working class
Context is key. Those jobs are his only qualifications.
I mean being 22 and having that work history is pretty relevant. How else are they going to make the case that he's nowhere near qualified enough for the position?
I would not hire this person as a repair technician based on that resume. Am I discriminating? Yes, in the same sense that all hiring discriminates for skills and experience.
I would never hire someone like this for risk analysis, risk abatement, or political communications.
How is this not completely fucking obvious to everyone?
Kakistocracy
Unless that’s his entire CV because at 22 yo, because what could he have done to merit such a critical role in the government?
All work dignifies but not all work prepares you for nation impacting decisions.
22-Year-Old
Obvious lack of experience and not qualified for the position.
Ex-Gardener and Grocery Store Assistant
Completely irrelevant, and not something to criticize. God forbid people get a shit starter job when they're joining the work force.
Listing previous work is pretty standard when getting a job, also shows his prior qualifications which I think we're entitled to know.
