Summary
Donald Trump appointed 22-year-old Thomas Fugate to lead the DHS Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships (CP3), which combats terrorism and hate violence.
Fugate, who graduated in 2024, previously worked as a grocery store clerk and self-employed landscaper.
He joined Trump’s 2024 campaign and briefly served as a special assistant in DHS immigration.
Despite lacking direct experience in counterterrorism, DHS officials cited his work ethic in justifying his rapid promotion. His political rise includes internships with the Heritage Foundation and Texas lawmakers, and an active pro-Trump social media presence.
“includes internships with the Heritage Foundation” there is it, fucking hell
Dang, I had put my money on rich daddy donor. (edit: that could still be right…)
I think the real questions were asked by another poster in another thread, who are his parents and how much did they pay to get him this ride?
6 hrs later… being the change
I see that the article is misinformed:
Donald Trump appointed 22-year-old Thomas Fugate as the new fall guy at the DHS Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships (CP3), which combats terrorism and hate violence.
Fugate, who graduated in 2024, previously worked as a grocery store clerk and self-employed landscaper.
Mr. Trump said in press briefing that Mr. Fugate has the perfect combination of inexperience, stupidity and trust in the GOP, to be manipulated in taking the fall when the current administration’s policies will be shown to have failed: “He is exactly the kind of young person this administration needs.”
I mentioned this in some other threads, but this guy has to have influential/wealthy parents or an uncle or a sugar daddy or something.
It would be one thing if he was some kind of GOP genius (an oxymoron, I know). But the articles make it sound like he’s just a guy.
Which tingles my spideysense into thinking he must be a nepobaby.
That … and his fucking face. Seriously. What a punchable, arrogant face.
oÓ
You can tell he practiced that look in front of the mirror.
Hellooooo GILEAD
Definitely some heavy Nick vibes, ngl. If MAGA wasn’t such a moronic movement, I’d think it intentional. Here’s to hoping he has less plot armor than his fictitious friend.
yea that eyebrow photo says he is gonna self destruct in a year or so

Does hours played in CS:GO count?
Please that’s a feeder if I ever seen one
I’m gonna need to see his dad’s resume.
wtf is he trying to do with his face?
Look I hate AI, but someone has to do that face blending thing between these three chucklefucks…
He is trumps bastard.
“This Summer…Rob Schneider is…” whatever this is.
He looks intrigued.
There’s definitely a Moriarty vibe going on.
We are so very fucked. Get out if you can.
