  1. Me next. I too want a job.

    Seriously though, *we’re fucked*.

  7. He was previously an intern for the heritage foundation. Thats how he got the job.

    Edit:

    >Since leaving college, Fugate has had a meteoric rise in the political world, having served as an “advance team member” on President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign, according to his [LinkedIn page](https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-fugate).

    >An avowed Republican, he also interned at the Heritage Foundation, generally acknowledged as the think tank behind Project 2025, and for Texas Representatives Terry Wilson and Steve Allison.

    >Fugate was reportedly hired as a “special assistant” in an immigration office at the DHS in February, according to ProPublica. He then took over CP3 after its previous director quit.

    >A DHS agency official told ProPublica Fugate was “temporarily” offered a CP3 leadership role for his “work ethic and success.”

    The worst part of all this, is pretty much no countries around the world are going to share intel with the US government. Theyd be too afraid of the current admin and this guy, passing it on to their enemies.

    I can see them feeding the US bad intel, so if their enemies get wind, then US allies will know exactly where the info came from.

  8. Oh no…This whole left eyebrow raise is going to be a trend; isn’t it?

  9. This is like seeing someone wear an American Flag shirt abroad.

    This appointment basically says, “Please attack us.”

  10. ‘Elect a clown, get a circus’.

    The circus is in town now.

  12. No way. This might be the most damning evidence that he’s slipping mentally.

  16. Ah yes. Appointing only the most qualified people you can find for leadership positions in government.

    How refreshing.

    Is this what TACO also did for his failed organizations and casinos?

    Maybe all the people tRump fired during his boring and uninspiring apprentice flop were fired because they were actually somewhat competent and velveeta voldermort couldn’t handle it.

  18. Terrorists are absolutely throbbing right now.

    If there was ever a time to launch an attack, doing so under this guy’s watch would be the time to do so.

  19. I had to do a double take to see if i was on r/theonion

  21. Hey Trumpies, tell us all how totally fine this is. Go into detail about how we need to give this guy a chance and shouldn’t be worried at all. Come on, get those tongues ready for the boot.

  22. Imagine this being your boss. Nobody is going to take this shit seriously.

  25. So the anti-DEI movement by this administration seems to be that they don’t want minorities in leadership roles, particularly minorities who will not show fealty to Donald Trump.

    It appears that the requirements to hold a role in this administration are 1) You must be white and you must be well connected, And 2) You must be willing to show fealty to Trump, your own dignity and reputation be damned.

    Over and over again we see that this administration cares not about what’s best for the country itself and the national security of our country. What matters most is capitulation to Donald Trump and furtherance of his unconstitutional actions and over corruption. Meanwhile, the Republican base jumps through hoops to justify this circus of an administration.

  26. Come on people he is perfect. Fits right in with the rest of them. You do know that Trump goal is to totally destroy the USA. Right?

  27. Hey MAGAts, is it clear yet that the villainizing of DEI for hiring unqualified people was just racism in disguise?

  28. Remember, these same ghouls go after AOC saying she’s nothing but a bartender….

  30. Can you imagine a couple of years from now people with actual competence and experience in government jobs having to apply?

    “So I worked for 4 years as the secretary of education?”

    Recruiter: “Ok and? Even an idiot with no prior experience or functional mental capacity could land that job”

  31. Trump is deliberately destroying the U.S. through the elimination of expertise among other tactics. It’s all for Putin and it’s what Russell Vought/Project 2025 has always dreamed of. People need to realize that he’s breaking things on purpose.

  32. America is under attack. Donald Trump is a traitor and so is anyone who supports him or the GOP.

  33. Wait, is that his real official picture? Raising one eyebrow?

    …

    OMG I am so embarrassed for my country right now. We have gone full 12 year old cringe.

  35. We’re going to be the victims of a major terrorist attack because of this administration’s incompetence.

  38. If you are incompetent, you are the perfect candidate to work for Trump

  39. It seems as though Trump goes out of his way to appoint completely unqualified people who’s only unifying trait is complete loyalty to him

  40. I bet all the people telling AOC to go back to bartending are going to be real quiet about this

  41. He is not a serious person. This administration is a joke.

  42. I can confidently say, this child has zero understanding of terror prevention. This invites three paths we have to consider:

    1. The president has dementia.
    2. The President is purposefully encouraging a terrorist attack so that he can enact new executive orders under the guise of “we are at war”.
    3. The president’s goal is to destroy the United States.

    4. All of the above…

    There are many universities who offer degrees surrounding the world of anti-terrorism. This kid doesn’t have one of those degrees and he doesn’t have experience in the field. There is no terrorism in the gardening center.
