I can hear the MAGA crowd saying "but at least he's a white male"

Are you sure this guy didn't star in a Dreamworks movie? That eyebrow lmao
That hairstyle! Though to be fair, I also did some stupid shit thinking it was cool when I was 22.

You know who to thank
This is so cursed

The lack of experience is worthy of criticism; but the "Ex-Gardener and Grocery Store Assistant" is presented as not worthy of respect. Which is bullshit.
It has the same air as some trumpanzee dipshit trying to insult AOC by calling her a 'bartender', as though having been a bartender makes her unqualified for her current position, which is similarly bullshit.
Gardeners, store assistants, and bartenders all contribute to our society and shouldn't be looked down on for their role; nor should that role be held against them when they decide to move on to something else.
...I guess my point is that gardening and entry-level-grocery are completely fine and expected experience for a 22 year old; but that no 22 year old could have the experience to do well as a leader in terror prevention. So, there's a distinction between criticizing the absence of experience (justified), vs criticizing someone for having actual experience in an unrelated field (bullshit).

Ex Gardner and grocery store assistant tapped to become retail manager at H&M, no one, yourself included, would bat an eye.
The only reason it even sticks out is because everyone inherently knows those things are not relevant at all to the position.
Any negative spin on those things you are ascribing yourself.
The combination of being 22 with only those jobs as relevant experience is bad. Very bad.
Those jobs in and of themselves are fine. We are all capable of nuance. I don't hate gardeners or grocery store workers, they're all generally great.

I remember being 22... yeah... no... just... ugh... no!
I'm 23 and just got promoted to head of the IT department and even I don't think I'm qualified to be here

More concerned with the 22 then what he was doing at 17. I'm not against younger blood in leadership roles but you got to have done the job at least somewhat. If the guy was 35 or so and had been at it for a decade, that'd be a different beast. This feels like a nepo hire

iran? woops, too late.
They squeezed that in before this guy was in office.

Or someone he can easily control.

Also will probably be a strawman, and fired or jailed when Trump fucks up, blaming others as always.

Why didn't he just appoint a horse?
A horse would seduce his entire family

Lucky you. Finding work for me (I am autistic) has been the greatest challenge of my life.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Not necessarily a nepo hire, but they are scraping the barrel.
Project 2025's playbook was to fire all the existing people in the federal government and replace them with Trump loyalists. To that end, they created a list of pre-vetted replacements.
Problem is, those people are vetted for loyalty first, and competence a distant second. Also, a lot of them likely have jobs already that are more lucrative than a federal position. In other cases, their circumstances change in the months in between vetting and the offer becoming concrete. So even though they may have a few thousand people on the list, a big chunk of them aren't going to accept when the time comes. Those that do aren't necessarily going to be qualified in any way.
What may be surprising here is that they're scraping the bottom so quickly. You'd think out of several thousand possibilities, they could find someone more qualified than this guy.
This tends to be destructive in the short term, because incompetent people are making important decisions. In the long term, it's one of the self-defeating factors of fascism. A system just can't work this way, but it can destroy the rest of society before it implodes on itself.
