Cops Probed Trump Terror Chief, 22, Over Teen Love Triangle
EYEBROW-RAISING
Police were called in after a threatening message was sent to a child by the ex-gardener chosen by the president to lead a key homeland security post, The Daily Beast has learned.

.... He graduated from the University of Texas at San Antonio only 12 months ago, worked for the MAGA-aligned Heritage Foundation and volunteered for Trump’s campaign before taking the role, previously held by veterans of law enforcement and intelligence agencies. ....

The police investigation was into allegedly threatening messages Fugate, who then went by “Trey” rather than Thomas, sent to a love rival. Fugate was 18 and dating a 16-year-old girl; his rival was also 16. The Daily Beast is not naming the boy and girl. ....

After The Daily Beast requested public records of the incident, Cedar Park City Attorney’s Office stated in a letter to the Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton that there was an “investigation of an alleged injury to a child”—in direct contradiction of what DHS has claimed. ....

A Department official told The Daily Beast: “Chatter is he’s got one foot in the grave. [There is] no real desire from leadership to protect him.” ....

2. A few weeks ago on the local

NextDoor page someone wrote something about "kids today". I replied with a sarcastic comment about how great it was that Trump was giving kids with only landscaping and grocery store experience the opportunity to be departmental directors in the Department of Homeland Security. My comment got only upvotes and positive comments and no pushback. Many of these people just guzzle the Kool aid.

3. I get "TDS" and name calling on a couple on MAGAt news sites, also upvotes.

4. Wasn't there a head of FEMA years ago whose last name was Fugate?

And this douchebag’s eyebrow raise deserve a flick of the earlobe every time you walk by him. Biff-style. And I hate violence.

6. Yes. Craig Fugate, an Obama appointee.

Nothing i've seen connects him to the idiot child appointed by Trump.
