Summary
The Trump administration appointed 22-year-old Thomas Fugate, one year out of college and with no apparent national security expertise, as interim head of DHS’s Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships (CP3), raising alarm among experts.
CP3, once focused on preventing extremism and violence, has seen deep staff cuts and a shift in priorities toward immigration.
Fugate, a loyal Trump campaigner, replaces Army veteran Bill Braniff. Critics call his appointment symbolic of political cronyism and institutional erosion.
Amid rising extremist attacks, DHS proposes ending CP3’s $18M grant program, despite official claims prevention work continues.
I have one very simple question:
Who … are … his … parents?
Based on his LinkedIn, and what appeared in the story, I’m not sure what sets him apart from thousands of other wannabe MAGA assholes.
Which triggers my spideysense. Well that and the arrogant fucking faces he’s putting out into the interwebs like he’s Don Juan De La Nooch.
My guess is he’s probably a nepo-baby and his folks are either influential or made a ‘donation’ to get him appointed.
To quote Ocean’s Eleven:
“Never heard of him.” “That’s why I don’t doubt it.”
trump also says that when he throws people under the bus.
