A 24 Year-Old Is Running Drug Policy Because Experts Wont Work For Trump

Reprinted with permission from Shareblue.com

It is wholly understandable that no one wants to work for Donald Trump. But it is also potentially putting the nation in grave danger when it means that key positions are filled by people who lack any demonstrable qualifications.

The Washington Post reports that the latest troubling example is at the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), where a 24-year-old recent college graduate — whose professional experience includes little more than working on the Trump campaign — has been named deputy chief of staff.

Taylor Weyeneth, who just under one year ago was an undergraduate at St. John’s University in New York, quickly rose through the ranks to occupy a job recently held by a lawyer and a longtime government official. And because the ONDCP currently lacks a permanent director, Weyeneth is helping to fill that role alongside acting director Richard Baum.
As the Trump administration weakly attempts to address the growing opioid crisis, at least seven appointees to the ONDCP have left the agency, leaving much of the crucial duties that would be filled by a chief of staff and general counsel in the hands of Weyeneth.

So this follower of the kool aid, was some lackey on the campaign staff, and this lackey has no degree but he has "date of projections" to get one, and his "resume" is quite dubious to say the least, just like his boss, the sexual predator............. Traitor


Where is the "republican controlled congress on this matter....................no where, just like everything else......nowhere




November 2018 cannot get here fast enough

meeting last week with anti-immigration hardliners and torpedoed the workable immigration proposal presented by Durbin and Graham. He probably had a hand also into prepping trump into his "shithole countries" remark in that meeting.

This whole admin is the actual shithole.
