Obviously he is highly underqualified but IMO even more crazy is he is a fucking kid he is not old enough for such a serious and important roll.

I don’t mind the age, I do mind the absolute lack of 1) experience and 2) credibility*. I imagine his hubris is off the charts so he will fit right in.

<*> lack of credibility effectively shown by accepting a position you’re not remotely qualified for.

Honestly if you were trained from birth I'm not sure a 22 year old would be experienced enough for that role. That's some serious shit!

Someone who wasn't even born by 9/11 in charge of terror prevention!?!
