WTF?
It should be no surprise to anyone that yet another hire in the administration of President TACO is nothing more than a toady.
And this particular toady has ties to the Heritage Foundation.
Thomas Fugate, 22, is a recent college graduate with a degree in politics, and he has landed a job in the United States Department of Homeland Security overseeing terrorism prevention and an $18 million grant program designed to help municipalities combat violent extremism, ProPublica reported.

His experience includes interning at the ultra-right Heritage Foundation — “Project 2025” — serving as secretary general of a Model United Nations club, working part-time at an Austin, Texas, H-E-B supermarket and freelance lawn mowing, according to LinkedIn. (NOTE: The link to Fugate’s page no longer works.)
Fugate is now overseeing the Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships, an office that is supposedly tasked with preventing “hate-fueled attacks, school shootings and other forms of targeted violence,” ProPublica said.
Homeland Security vs. Lawn Care.
What kind of experience did the previous director of the center have, you ask?
William Braniff, previously the center’s director, is a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy, where he was the director of practitioner education of West Point’s Combating Terrorism Center. He was also on the editorial board of the International Centre for Counter-Terrorism-The Hague and served on the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism Independent Advisory Committee, to name just a few.
Aside from not being a billionaire — I’m making that assumption — Fugate fits the bill to work for the felon-in-chief.
He’s got no real experience other than loyalty to man doling out the jobs.
In its Project 2025 Mandate for Leadership, the Heritage Foundation said career civil servants should be cleaned out of government and replaced with political loyalists “who will unquestioningly and swiftly carry out a president’s orders,” according to the Center for American Progress.
It is all part of the effort to remake this country into a dictatorship.
Thomas Fugate is just the latest face of the adjudicated rapist’s administration.
Add him to the Fox News escapees, the wrestling promoter, the podcaster, a reality TV star and the conspiracy-theorist/heroin addict who are in charge of our government.
