Trump Appoints 22-Year-Old Ex-Gardener as DHS Terror Chief, Internet Stares

Trumpâs pick of 22-year-old Thomas Fugateâwho worked as a gardener in 2020 and at a grocery store in August 2023âto lead the DHS Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships has stunned many. Fugate graduated from the University of Texas at San Antonio only a year ago.
Fugateâs meteoric rise from landscaping to heading a vital anti-terrorism unit leaves experts reeling, as his LinkedIn shows nearly no counter-terror experience. âManaged to secure himself a permanent gigâ now trends alongside searches for âTrump DHS youth appointmentâ.
As recently as August 2023, Fugate was still bagging groceries; now heâs tasked with fighting extremism at the nationâs highest security level.
