Trump Appoints 22-Year-Old Ex-Gardener and Grocery Store Assistant to Lead U.S. Terror Prevention

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

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

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.

Qualification includes that one time he asked a shoplifter to not shoplift and they left anyway.
Makes "badass" comments and does karate moves every time a vaguely brown person leaves the store. "Bro, I was waiting for him to pull out a bomb and I woulda been all like HWAH!!!"

And the US just officially warned Iran “not to retaliate”. I think we know what’s coming, lads.
Hopefully Mar-a-Lago is being considered as an ideal target for a terrorist attack.

I'm confused, this reads like an argument, but you're making the same point.
I must have worded something stupid in my initial post here - half the 'retorts' here have just restated the post I made. Or, tried to make?
Normally on Lemmy I wouldn't get this much pushback for saying that being a gardener or w/e isn't something to shit on.
I'd be willing to bet most everyone in this conversation is 99% on the same page, but some dumb miscommunication has us bashing heads.

I feel that someone with a large, heavy club could solve a few of our issues. Caveman tactics still work!

Mission failed: Just seeing his face makes me want to strap C4 around my chest and walk into the RNC.
Try it at home first to check if it works

It sorta feels like they hit 'AOC was a bartender' and then Pavlov kicked in and they started drooling.

Does having working experience as a gardener and as a grocery store assistant somehow, disqualify you from doing a , may I say, very straightforward job?
I am pretty sure he won't do all of that by himself, what would be the issue then? No enough experience?
Please, complain more later in other threads about how young people can't get a job because they are inexperienced
It's official, Lemmy is filled to the brim with conservative boomers larping as collectivists LMAO

Am I only one who thinks he looks like a MAD magazine cover?
...and now I can't unsee it.

Should this kid be able to get a job somewhere in that agency? Sure, maybe. Should they be leading a major government department with zero experience? Absolutely not.
Just like an alcoholic talking head shouldn’t be leading our defense department. Or a fucking WWE wife being anywhere near leading education for the country. This isn’t about qualifications. It’s about nepotism and grifting.

Yup. That's the take. You're so 100% correct. No difference between the typical grievance about needing 15 year experience for a 10 year old system and a guy who had 2 part time entry level jobs running a department of a (for now) global super power.
I'm so glad you were so smart you could show how hypocritical it is. Cause they're the EXACT SAME situations.
