Kennedy Jr., were able to squeak through the Senate confirmation process despite the apprehension of several Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Wolff believes Pulte is more destined to suffer the same fate as Gaetz than he is Hegseth and Kennedy\u2014or, at the least, will test the MAGA loyalty of top GOP lawmakers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlmost each and every one of the senior Trump appointments\u2014how do we characterize them? As lackeys and incompetents,\u201d Wolff said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlmost everybody in the Senate, especially Republican senators, has had to reevaluate the votes that they\u2019ve cast for these people and has had to reluctantly take responsibility for putting these lackeys, incompetents, and completely unfit people in the job,\u201d he continued. \u201cThat is a pattern. That\u2019s there. And this has become a separate political issue for Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pulte, 38, has long been one of Trump\u2019s most loyal attack dogs. On Tuesday, the president rewarded him by announcing that he would helm the intelligence office\u2014despite having no experience in intelligence\u2014while continuing to serve as director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=873\">Pilots Call in Hazmat Crew After Mid-Air Nightmare<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The announcement immediately drew bipartisan pushback. Even Republican lawmakers pointed out that Pulte lacked experience in national security and intelligence. He requires Senate confirmation to remain in the position permanently, but he has already been granted a security clearance to serve as acting director.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVery few Senate-confirmable positions come with statutory eligibility requirements. There are good reasons why the Director of National Intelligence is one of them,\u201d Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell said in a statement this week. \u201cAnyone performing this role of such immense public trust must have the extensive national security experience required by statute, and no nominee who falls short of this requirement will earn my vote.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe best I can tell you is he\u2019s not qualified, but I don\u2019t know anything about him other than that,\u201d Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy said.<\/p>\n<p>Just days after making his announcement, Trump said Pulte would serve in an acting capacity, telling reporters that \u201cI don\u2019t think he\u2019d want to be permanent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The White House also published a press release fawning over Pulte, arguing that he \u201chas a track record of transforming inefficient bureaucracies, protecting critical American assets, and confronting entrenched interests\u2014exactly the outsider leadership needed to ensure our nation\u2019s intelligence agencies focus on their core mission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wolff said the president\u2019s eyebrow-raising appointments are adding to his tall pile of political problems.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cAll of these people are lackeys and incompetents, and that is among the central issues facing the Trump White House: the economy, the war, health care, is this new issue of lackeys and incompetents that surrounds him?\u201d he asked. \u201cSo there\u2019s backlash. People have to say, \u2018We\u2019re gonna be held responsible for this.\u2019 Bill Pulte. I guess that\u2019s the question: how do we justify this?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=871\">United Pilot Given Chilling Warning Before Landing Collision<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republican opposition to President Donald Trump\u2019s pick to be his spy chief has exposed a troubling pattern for the administration, his longtime biographer says.
