Summary
Donald Trump appointed 22-year-old Thomas Fugate to lead the DHS Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships (CP3), which combats terrorism and hate violence.
Fugate, who graduated in 2024, previously worked as a grocery store clerk and self-employed landscaper.
He joined Trump’s 2024 campaign and briefly served as a special assistant in DHS immigration.
Despite lacking direct experience in counterterrorism, DHS officials cited his work ethic in justifying his rapid promotion. His political rise includes internships with the Heritage Foundation and Texas lawmakers, and an active pro-Trump social media presence.
“includes internships with the Heritage Foundation” there is it, fucking hell
Dang, I had put my money on rich daddy donor. (edit: that could still be right…)
What we were hoping for:
what we got:
“Work ethic” Okay, who’d this guy have to fuck for this?
Is he trying to copy Trump’s official glare? Cringe.
Also, why can’t I be appointed to a random high-level government job? I actually have government experience.
How the hell are we ever supposed to take this country seriously again?
