Trump Appoints 22-Year-Old Ex-Gardener and Grocery Store Assistant to Lead U.S. Terror Prevention

When it comes to the public face of the Administration, I think it does. You're free, of course, to make any excuses for her that you like.

So Trump is unqualified to be President? He’s bad at it so he must be unqualified, yes?

My point exactly. Other than a couple of college jobs, the left knows or says nothing about him. I don't know any more than you do, but I don't condemn him simply because of his age or who hired him.

No one is condemning him. They are condemning the dimwit who hired a kid with no experience to be in charge of an $18 million budget tasked with protecting America against terrorism.

Yet you mention nothing about his lack of inexperience, which is the real factor here. At 22, he's going to have limited experience at this than someone with more experience so his age is relevant based on what's already known.

Which part of that was false? She was a Secret Service agent from 24 years. Including the entire time Trump was in office. If she wasn’t qualified to be a Secret Service agent, why did Trump keep her on?

The folks on the left condemn the selection, neither knowing nor saying anything about him except that he's young. All that proves is that the left spends it's time and energy on personal attacks, both on the individual and on Trump, instead of issues that just might contribute to the well-being of the country. And they wonder why only 27% of voters think they might have their shit together.

He has zero experience in the field, what are you defending?

More than half of all voters disagreed with you. There's a lesson in there, if you can find it.

He worked on the Presidential campaign. I assume that he demonstrated intelligence sufficient to be in charge of an $18 million budget, consisting in some part of grants, which is a rounding error in D.C..

James Madison was 25 in 1776. Alexander Hamilton was 21. The Marquis deLa Fayette was 18.

Madison got his start due to nepotism, not qualification. And Hamilton held no position of significant authority until after years of battlefield and staff experience.

NO. Anyone can look at this situation and see that he has no relevant experience. It's simply poor judgement - idiotic - to put someone so young and inexperienced into a position like that. It is reckless and stupid. We all know this. You know this.

No, I don't and neither do you. People are much more than their age, as were so many of the Founders of the country who were in their 20's. This guy might fail or succeed. I'm content to find out. To the left, he's just an opportunity to focus on personalities instead of issues.

And I assume he displayed nothing but sycophantism. All assumptions aside, he is orders of magnitude less qualified than his predecessor by every metric.

Well, less than half of all voters voted for TACO Two Dolls. Remember, no candidate got over 50% of the votes.

Of course. The earth would fall off it's axis if you guys had anything good to say about anyone to the right of AOC.

You do know, don't you, that you bitch so much about people that no one pays any attention to it any more.

Even if that's true (and I don't concede that it is) he wrote the Virginia Plan and was a Founder of the country.

Positions of troop leadership during the Revolution were "of significant authority."
