Good job MAGA voters







"The inexperienced 22-year-old reportedly tasked by Donald Trump with tackling U.S. extremism was working as a neighborhood gardener just five years ago and in a grocery store as recently as August 2023, the Daily Beast can reveal.

Thomas Fugate, who graduated from the University of Texas at San Antonio just 12 months ago, is currently heading up the Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships at the DHS, as first reported by ProPublica Tuesday.

...

But according to the youngster’s LinkedIn page, Fugate has almost no experience in this field—and in 2020 was working as a self-employed ‘Landscape Business Owner.’

...

Fugate set up a political Instagram account last year, where his profile contains the motto, “Men used to do great things. I believe they still can."







 
"Fugate’s appointment is the latest shock for an office that has been decimated since President Donald Trump returned to the White House and began remaking national security to give it a laser focus on immigration."
 
Pete Hegseth, Kristi Noem, and this kid are keeping us safe from terrorism. Okay. I mean, the kid has a degree in politics from UT San Antonio (not a party school). And he got it just last year so all the information is still fresh in his mind.



 

Wow....truly ****ing insane.

Almost as insane as mentally ill conspiracy nut Laura Loomer getting the 4 star general fired as commander of U.S. Cyber Command/NSA.

For the record....that is still the craziest thing that Trump has done so far.
 
You do realize that @VySky and @Mycroft could very easily take your post seriously....lmao

It's rampant nasty bitch slap in motion.
 
I'm going to guess the emblem in the background is the Department of Scumbaggery?
 
Thomas C. Fugate III (born 2002 or 2003) was chosen by Donald Trump to head the Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships at the United States Department of Homeland Security.
We aren't sure how old he is. Lol.

One can only feel bad for them and their fellow MAGA on this site. Imagine yourself being a MAGA and instead of you, Donald picks this rando gardener to spearhead threat response. Not a Mycroft. Not a VySky. A gardener and grocery store clerk. Imagine how humiliated you’d feel to be so completely ignored by Donald.
 

And what exactly qualifies him as an administrator for a federal program?

Why are you calling out Trump for making an obvious DEI hire?

I didn't say he was an administrator. I said the job is administrative. Most such jobs are clerical, "coordinating." Sounds to me like a really bright young man doing a really bright young man's job.

From his photo, I thought he's white.
