This is the 22 year old the administration has put in charge of preventing a domestic response by Iran or any terror group


i googled after seeing this post on bsky.

this from june 5th:

A 22-year-old college grad with no security experience is now leading a government terror prevention team: ‘Putting the intern in charge’
Thomas Fulgate’s leadership of the Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships has raised alarm bells

snip

Before taking up the new leadership responsibilities, Fulgate was hired as a “special assistant” in an immigration office at the Department of Homeland Security.

The department told The Independent that Fulgate was “temporarily given additional leadership responsibilities” in CP3 “due to his success.” Staffers he works with, however, have likened meeting with him to “career counseling” while expressing shock at how little he appears to know about the role, the outlet reported.

According to Fulgate’s LinkedIn profile, he worked as a gardener briefly in 2020 before embarking on fellowships and internships, including at the conservative Heritage Foundation. He worked on the Trump campaign last year where he attended the Republican National Convention. He also served as secretary general of a Model United Nations club.

He also shared photos in recent months at the White House. In one post, he gushed about taking “the first major leap” of his career.

Trump Superfan, 22, is Running Counterterrorism as Iran Vows Revenge

and a tweet from sen. chris murphy:

"As our nation girds for possible Iranian terrorist attacks, this is the person Trump put in charge of terrorism prevention.

22 years old. Recent work experience: landscaping/grocery clerk.

Never worked a day in counter-terrorism. But he’s a BIG Trump fan. So he got the job."

and this weirdo's wiki page begins: "Thomas C. Fugate III (born 2002 or 2003)"
really? we know so little about this punk that maybe he was born this year or maybe that year but it's up to him to protect us all, over 300 million of us, from a "domestic response from iran or any terror group"


i hadn't heard about this crap until tonight
i seem to be having just another "kill me now" moment


trump has really taken this country down
we are currently so fucked

[Ocelot II]

1. He doesn't even *look* normal.

[orleans]

4. no he doesn't. nt

[canetoad]

14. Raised eyebrow

Looks like an affectation. Perfectly level in other pix. And he only has one tie.

[Demovictory9]

2. Imagine the 50 year old long term govt employee having to report to this punk

[LonePirate]

3. He's the fall guy but he doesn't realize it yet.

[Retrograde]

5. Nothing wrong with working as a grocery clerk

or landscape grunt when you're that age - I applaud the fact that he did do this sort of necessary but unskilled work. But it's not the sort of background that inspires confidence in his ability to run a critical government function now that Donnie seems determined to destroy any confidence any country has in the US.

[IzzaNuDay]

6. DEI hire: Didn't Earn It!

just a matter of time until he is up to his ass in alligators!

[Buns_of_Fire]

8. And, as Tony Joe White might put it it, "Chomp. Chomp chomp."

Alligator mouth meets hummingbird ass.

[SoFlaBro]

7. Another piss-soaked MAGA fuckstain given a job he isn't nearly fucking qualified for. Piss on that fucking turd.

[Volaris]

9. He should get called to testify to congress about his counter-terrorism plans...

Even sycophants like Lindsey Graham would tear this kid to pieces; I can't imagine what the intelligence or oversight committees would do to him lol...

[orleans]

21. ohhhh... if trump gave this kid that job do you REALLY think lindsey would go against trump and "tear this kid to pieces

i don't think so.
lindsey will defend to his death the right to let donnie appoint anyone, or anything (AI, a mouse, etc) into whatever position he wants
lindsey is just a tired, deranged suck up

[RockRaven]

10. It isn't just the clown in charge, they gutted the staff. Massive headcount reduction.

Warmonger Trump has purposely blinded those meant to protect Americans.

[yonder]

11. He reminds me of the actor who played "Big Head" Bighetti from Silicon Valley

God help us if Big Head's pretend skills surpass those necessary for Fulgate's new real world job, which they probably do.

We be screwed.

[BurnDoubt]

12. He wasn't even a crossing-guard?

[BurnDoubt]

13. WAIT!!!!

Isn't he Vic Ferrari?

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

26. It would be funny watching the Iranians deal with Vic/Latka!

[alterfurz]

15. comes highly recommended by...

...Four Seasons Total Landscaping!

[calimary]

17. That's gotta be it! He's there to provide the weeds.

And crabgrass.

[calimary]

16. Gee, such a little boy there.

Wonder if he’s toilet trained yet. Or maybe they have to train that left eyebrow down, first? What’s he communicating with a facial expression like that? Evidently nobody’s gotten around to teaching him not to smirk like that.

Sorry. Mongo NOT impressed.

VERY MUCH not impressed.

[bdamomma]

18. He has

no qualifications period. Kakistocracy, this is what we have with that SF.

[MagickMuffin]

19. The Heritage Foundation will tell him what to do

He’s there as part of Project 2025.

[yellow dahlia]

20. Mind boggling!

[EarthFirst]

22. Unrelenting fealty is the only qualification...

…he’s there but for one reason: “STFU and we will feed you the narrative/policy…you got that you little shit?”

[KTB2025]

23. His application in the Heritage Foundation's "Presidential Personnel Database"

Straight Arrow News is reporting a new data leak: thousands of applications to the Heritage Foundation’s “Presidential Personnel Database.”

Mr. Fugate's is one of them.

He says that he is pro-Nixon and anti-porn. And he wrote the following praising Donald Trump:

"Donald Trump will always be the greatest inspiration to me of my time and I mean that genuinely. When I was in 8th grade (2015/2016) seeing this incredibly affluent man who had it all stand up there and risk it all for the good of the country truly spoke to me that day when he announced his candidacy for President. This man put it all on the line for us time and time again. Before he even won the Presidency he was illegally spied on by Obama. Then after he won fake scandal after fake scandal was devised to bring him down and two impeachments were launched against him. Now they're trying to sue him for everything he's got on false charges all because Trump refuses to not stand up for what's right. That kind of tenacity and willpower to go through not just the highs but also all of the incredible levels of stress and the lows is truly inspirational to me. His life story as an entrepreneur who had his brother taken from him at a young age due to alcohol truly is inspirational. He is a man of the people and will always continue to inspire and one day he will be a legend."

24. Just another idealogue hired not due to competency.

Back in the 20's and 30's, Hitler hired a chicken farmer to run his SS.

And we all know how well that worked out...

[Midwestern Democrat]

25. An appointment like this almost makes me think they deliberately did it for laughs. NT
