There are unqualified hires, and then there is the entire Trump Administration.
The latest national embarrassment comes in the name of Thomas Fugate. He has been given a leadership role at the Department of Homeland Security, in the Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships (CP3), combating terrorism, school shootings, and other hate-driven crimes. Part of his job is to oversee an 18-million-dollar grant program, which is dedicated to helping communities battle violent extremists. He replaced Bill Braniff, a counter terrorism expert with 20 years of national security experience.
Thomas is 22. He recently graduated from the University of San Antonio (probably a fine college). He has zero government work experience, zero government leadership experience, and absolutely zero experience in terror prevention or government security.
Staffers who have met with him state he seems to have zero knowledge about the role he now holds, and call meetings with him "career counseling."
His LinkedIn profile says he was a gardener in 2020. So, how does someone so criminally unqualified for a job get one like this? Fugate had an internship at the Heritage Foundation, and he worked for the Trump campaign last year.
I am going to add his photo to this story as it's better than any movie villain I could post. I love the peach fuzz mustache and the attempt to look intelligent with his raised brow. He looks like a complete and total f-cking moron.
