Trump appoints 22-year-old ex-gardener and grocery store assistant to lead U.S. terror prevention
Counter-terror chief was pulling up weeds just five years ago.
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.
You can tell he practiced that look in front of the mirror.
honestly, better than another fucking billionaire.
"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...)
I mentioned this in some other threads, but this guy has to have influential/wealthy parents or an uncle or a sugar daddy or something.
It would be one thing if he was some kind of GOP genius (an oxymoron, I know). But the articles make it sound like he's just a guy.
Which tingles my spideysense into thinking he must be a nepobaby.
That ... and his fucking face. Seriously. What a punchable, arrogant face.
6 hrs later.. being the change
How the hell are we ever supposed to take this country seriously again?
Oh, that's all over now.
Despite lacking direct experience in counterterrorism, DHS officials cited his work ethic in justifying his rapid promotion.
Does hours played in CS:GO count?
I'm gonna need to see his dad's resume.
He is trumps bastard.
We are so very fucked. Get out if you can.
What we were hoping for:
what we got:
I think the real questions were asked by another poster in another thread, who are his parents and how much did they pay to get him this ride?
Hellooooo GILEAD
Definitely some heavy Nick vibes, ngl. If MAGA wasn't such a moronic movement, I'd think it intentional. Here's to hoping he has less plot armor than his fictitious friend.
yea that eyebrow photo says he is gonna self destruct in a year or so
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.
I actually have government experience.
Well that disqualifies you for this administration to begin with
I was gonna say he looks like something has just touched his butthole and he's not sure what it might be.
Stop making me laugh so hard.
Did he work at the prestigious Four Seasons Total Landscaping?
Another high quality hire for a high quality administration.
That guy looks like he shits diamonds.
Someone should photoshop him holding a cat up to his chest in this photo
Classic cheesy 60s era Bond villain
Such an easy way he found to show us he's an "attempt to gaslight her into thinking she did orgasm, actually" vibes kinda guy
oÓ
He looks intrigued.
There's definitely a Moriarty vibe going on.
"This Summer...Rob Schneider is..." whatever this is.
wtf is he trying to do with his face?
Look I hate AI, but someone has to do that face blending thing between these three chucklefucks..
He has one of those faces you can bisect vertically and flip from each side to make two completely different faces.
At least it’s not kid rock.
If I ever saw this guy, I'd dump his backpack and take his lunch money
wow ur so cool haha
Picture matches the tone of the hiring perfectly. Let him keep the job. I want to see how this plays out.
Boy, there's a face only his mother could love.
With this level of incompetence, first terror attack should lead to EXECUTIONS.
All these random picks. Like im shocked I was randomly offered the a job in the mail by now.
MAKE AMERICA GREAT NEVER
His last name is two letters away from being fugazi.
JFC
Maybe they thought he was a grocery store assistant manager.
