At this point, it’s beyond clear that President Donald Trump is not only filling his administration by prioritizing the loyal over the qualified (some might even call it white nationalist DEI), but he is bound and determined to put his loyalists in the exact office they don’t belong in.

It’s why Trump nominated Robert Kennedy Jr., a COVID conspiracy theorist who spreads medical misinformation and advocates for medical racism, for Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary. It’s why Pete Hegseth is now leading the Department of National Defense despite Hegseth having no clear experience in the field, being unable to answer basic questions about U.S. foreign policy, and believing that his top priority as defense secretary should be to de-woke-if the military.

So, it should surprise absolutely no one that the man Trump has tapped to oversee U.S. intelligence on terrorism threats is a MAGA loyalist who once referred to Jan. 6 terrorists as “political prisoners.”
