Who the hell would be stupid enough to take the FBI director job under Trump?

The only way you could get it now is to vow unwavering loyalty to a raving idiot.
By doing so you would be breaking the law you are sworn to uphold and would almost certainly end up in jail.

And Trump could fire and humiliate you any time you decided to do your job in a way that crossed with his wishes.

If anyone accepts the position now he will have to be a complete moron.

...who will do whatever his boss demands, whether it be quashing investigations or jailing journalists.

Feel better now?

"FBI Director? Gosh, I'm really flattered to be asked, but, uh, I'm, um, oh, yeah, well, I'd love to, but the job might not work with my schedule, gotta get the kids to day care every morning and I'm in a band, so, uh, I don't think I can do it right now, but I sure do appreciate the offer. 'Scuse me, gotta go, I hear the dog barking. Nice talking to you, and thanks again..."

And having 'Trump' on your resume is toxic radioactive poison.
A career-killer only suitable for ideological deadenders and unbright profiteers
