Another example of the lack of vetting by Trump.

The White House has withdrawn Jared Isaacman as its nominee for Nasa administrator, abruptly yanking a close ally of Elon Musk from consideration to lead the space agency.

Donald Trump said he would announce a new candidate soon. “After a thorough review of prior associations, I am hereby withdrawing the nomination of Jared Isaacman to head Nasa,” the US president posted online. “I will soon announce a new Nominee who will be mission aligned, and put America first in space.”

Those "prior associations"? Isaacman is a Democrat.

Yeah something went south in their relationship. I think it's probably due to Elon upstaging the President, repeatedly.

Donald doesn't like it when someone else grabs the limelight.

That's why the Mooch went away so quickly.

lol…. Nothing went South. It’s just you folks think Musk ran the show.
 
Musk committed a mortal sin. He spoke up publicly against Trump's BBB, highlighted what I'd did to the debt and said it negated all the work Doge did. Trump never gave a damn about the debt or waste and abuse and still doesn’t. However, I think the reason this guy got dumped is because he contributed to Dems in 2024.....and Laura Loomer found out

Then, it's a good thing Trump brought Loomer on board.

Anyone who supports Democrats is a highly potential deep state operative, and something to be rigorously avoided...especially at such a high-level position.

Musk didn't get dumped. Where did you get that stupid idea?

His tenure had a term limit on it of 130 days.

But you knew that.

In full disclosure, I deleted my post you quoted as I realize you were talking about the NASA guy and not Musk.
 
He might have volunteered to withdrew considering everything that happened. Elon probably gave him an earful of the perils of working for the government.
 
Trump is busy looking for a replacement. Might I suggest the obvious choice.
Katie Perry has extensive space experience and the scuentific minerals needed for the top job.
In fact she is probably over qualified for trumpys cabinet.

How difficult would it have been to have found that out as part of the normal vetting process? Trumps Administration is incompetent and it shows up every single day. Facts are Musk wanted him and that's all that mattered...until Musk didn't matter anymore. It's not even complicated.

Why announce a nomination prior to vetting? That is what happened here. Vetting is what revealed "prior associations." Trump should have vetted BEFORE announcing the nom. To not do so makes Trump look stupid and incompetent.
 
4 years of chaos.

World champion flip-flopper.
 
I disagree with these options. There are endless more reasons. Like for example, he liked to use lot of hard drugs including DMT, maybe because he was a habitual pok3r player. Or maybe it was all the foul language he used and abuse to his fellow man.

Regardless, of those mute points, yes.... it was because he was a democrat. But that doesn't explain why did his business deal with TACO for over 5 years. You would think when someone goes to your properties meets with your kids, you would know them really well?
