In at present’s episode of Trump’s “Meritocracy” Is Actually A MAGA-tastrophe, President Donald Trump seems to be taking a few of his cues from loud and proud racist Laura Loomer, who, like lots of his closest cohorts, shouldn’t be certified to advise the president of two-ply bathroom paper, not to mention the president of the US.
In keeping with Axios, a number of members of Trump’s Nationwide Safety Council had been fired Thursday, simply in the future after Loomer paid a go to to the White Home and urged Trump to fireside a number of particular NSC staffers. Now, Trump, after all, claims Loomer had nothing to do together with his resolution, which an inside supply advised Axios was “being labeled as an anti-neocon transfer,” which feels like Trump fired members of his Nationwide Safety Council as a result of they weren’t ideologically appropriate together with his administration.
“We’re at all times going to let go of individuals — individuals we don’t like or folks that reap the benefits of [us] or individuals that will have loyalties to another person,” Trump advised reporters Thursday on Air Pressure One. As for Loomer’s involvement, the president claimed, “She makes suggestions…and typically I hearken to these suggestions…I hearken to all people after which I decide.”
Solely underneath the present administration can individuals who have by no means held political workplace or labored within the federal authorities in any capability — individuals whose solely {qualifications} included being white, vehemently bigoted and passionately MAGA-fied — rise to the extent of getting the commander-in-chief’s ear.
Thoughts you, final 12 months, when Trump was nonetheless a candidate, he went from having Loomer on his marketing campaign path to making an attempt to distance himself from her as a result of it turned out her racism was so loud even deranged white nationalist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene was offended by her. (Truly, I’m fairly positive Loomer and MTG had been already beefing and that’s the one purpose the Georgia girl who hates Muslims and loves Jan. 6 terrorists was pretending to be mad at Loomer for making some stupid-a** joke about VP Kamala Harris making the White Home “odor like curry.”)
However identical to Trump tried to distance himself from Challenge 2025 whereas he was nonetheless campaigning, solely to make it the blueprint for almost each govt order he has signed since Jan. 20, he solely wanted to distance himself from rabid racists till he was again within the Oval Workplace. Now, he’s in for an additional 4 years, so he can brazenly embrace white supremacists like Loomer, who referred to as Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee a “ghetto b*tch” instantly after she died following a battle with pancreatic most cancers, and referred to as Harris, New York AG Letitia James, and Fulton County DA Fani Willis “meritless DEI Shaniquas.”
Think about that, a white girl whose complete political background begins and ends along with her failed bid to signify Florida’s twenty first congressional district within the state Home is out right here connecting Black ladies with intensive resumes to DEI whereas utilizing the stereotypical identify “Shaniqua,” which is definitely a racial epithet popping out of her mouth.
That is what Trump does. He talks an enormous recreation about “benefit,” however he has stuffed his cupboard with white individuals, largely white males, who’re woefully underqualified for the positions they maintain, they usually show their incompetence each single day.
Hell, simply final month, Trump appointed TurningPoint USA founder Charlie Kirk to the U.S. Air Pressure’s board of holiday makers. Why? Has Kirk ever served within the navy? No. Has he ever served within the authorities in any capability? No. In reality, what has he ever carried out apart from function a mediocre white man and vehemently anti-Black racist who dropped out of group faculty however nonetheless had the caucasity to complain that outstanding Black ladies with intensive resumes had been serving within the authorities attributable to DEI?
It’s virtually as if there’s a sample right here.
