If anyone is wondering the connection:

This guy had internships at the Heritage Foundation and did some service as a special assistant in a DHS immigration office.

Heritage foundation strikes again with installing young puppets.

his experience at Four Seasons Total Landscaping also helped

Qualification includes that one time he asked a shoplifter to not shoplift and they left anyway.

There's a reason that the minimum age to run for president is 35. But rules and regulations don't matter anymore.

And the US just officially warned Iran “not to retaliate”. I think we know what’s coming, lads.

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

FTFY

Even if this guy had served in military intelligence for 4 years he would still be too inexperienced for this role.

Mission failed: Just seeing his face makes me want to strap C4 around my chest and walk into the RNC.

what a joke of an administration

[–] klu9@piefed.social 11 points 1 day ago

As an administration, it's a joke. As an exercise in evil, it's right on track.

If you wanted more terrorist attacks on your soil in order to justify suspending the constitution, this is exactly how you’d go about it.

This is his actual professional portrait btw

[–] AJ1@lemmy.ca 44 points 1 day ago (1 children)

it's inspiring that in the states you can be a convicted felon, and/or just a totally unqualified moron with no experience in any sort of political office (see: POTUS) and get a high profile position in the federal government. america truly is the land of opportunity

22-Year-Old

Obvious lack of experience and not qualified for the position.

Ex-Gardener and Grocery Store Assistant

Completely irrelevant, and not something to criticize. God forbid people get a shit starter job when they're joining the work force.

[–] Bane_Killgrind@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 23 hours ago

The rise from starter job to top government official usually includes things like gaining experience, having some success, being a noteworthy professional in some way....

Not... Nothing?

[–] Toga65@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (18 children)

Listing previous work is pretty standard when getting a job, also shows his prior qualifications which I think we're entitled to know.

That one of the DOGE-cunts?

[–] MangoCats@feddit.it 27 points 1 day ago

No, he's a poly-sci graduate: moldable lump of clay setup by the Heritage Foundation to sink or swim. Seems like he hasn't screwed up badly enough to be coat-hooked offstage just yet.

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 21 hours ago

seems reasonabl
