College students at top posts in the White House WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!

John Troup Hemenway has been brought on to assist the deputy director of the Presidential Personnel Office, despite the fact that Hemenway is still an undergraduate student who's expected to graduate in December.

Anthony Labruna is now serving as deputy White House liaison at the Department of Commerce, despite the fact that he's still a senior at Iowa State.

No wonder Trump is flailing around and can't get anything accomplished in this healthcare crisis, he's got a bunch of inexperienced, untrained, frat bro kids running the US gov't.

Trump can't get anyone else. He's fired all the experts and no one with any skills or training will work in his administration. So he's left with college dropouts, unqualified ass kissers, relatives, and industry lobbyists.

Add another one, John McEntee, the 29-year-old head of formidable Presidential Personnel Office, he was a former college football player, but he isn't qualified for the powerful office he new holds. He was already fired from his last WH job as Trump's "body man", because he failed to get a security clearance due to his large gambling debts. Trump rehired him and waved him through without any security clearance. Now his job is to stock the Trump administration with employees loyal to Trump at any cost
