Buffoon Trump put an inexperienced 22-yr old grocery worker in charge of Terror Prevention in US


As major U.S. cities brace for possible terror attacks in response to the strikes on Iran, just a reminder of who Trump put in charge of terror prevention

God help us all

and all I can find is the 23-ounce cans. Are Iran-based terrorists planning any attacks in the United States? Also, I need some organic peanut butter - crunchy, not the smooth kind. Thanks!"

The Intern in Charge”: Meet the 22-Year-Old Trump’s Team Picked to Lead Terrorism Prevention

Snip

In the past seven weeks, at least five high-profile targeted attacks have unfolded across the U.S., including a car bombing in California and the gunning down of two Israeli Embassy aides in Washington.

organizatons. "Small" means like $25 Million or so annually. They are a small piece of the Department of Homeland Security. Of course, HS is headed by older, but just as ignorant, Kristi Noem. So, watch your back.

And to my old eyes, looks like Trump has a thing for particular types. Maybe he should make peace with his curiosities and latent tendencies, it's fine, really. Then we, and the world wouldn't be put in peril by inexperienced, unqualified officials just because Trump thinks they look sexy.
