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.
Bcs from one look at him you can already tell nothing will get past him. -

Or someone he can easily control.

he's a yes man, that trump is gonna steamroll over at trump's earliest. THank you for your attention to this matter.
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

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.

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.

Ehhhhh?

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.
