Trump chooses Fox News contributor Sara Carter as next drug czar

[douglas9]

President Trump has selected Sara Carter, a conservative journalist and Fox News contributor, as the nation’s next drug czar.

Carter’s selection comes as a surprise: Her background is not in drug policy, public health, or law enforcement, and she has never served in government. Her journalism in the past decade, however, has been staunchly pro-Trump, with a particular emphasis on border issues and former President Biden’s perceived failure to stem illegal immigration and the trafficking of illicit drugs.

“From Afghanistan to our Border, Sarah’s relentless pursuit of Justice, especially in tackling the Fentanyl and Opioid Crisis, has exposed terrorists, drug lords, and sex traffickers,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social announcing her nomination on Friday afternoon. “As our next Drug Czar, Sara will lead the charge to protect our Nation, and save our children from the scourge of drugs.”

If confirmed by the Senate, Carter would oversee the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, an executive office housed across the street from the West Wing that makes policy recommendations and coordinates efforts between various federal agencies focused on substance use, both from a law enforcement and public health perspective.

1. Who would have that that Fox News would serve as the Farm Team for a White House cabinet?

This ridiculousness, plucking television hosts he finds both attractive and loyal, to serve as high ranking government officials, is a reflection of the deteriorated brain that sits inside of Trump’s head.

He is casting roles in his cabinet of CosPlayers. “I may not be qualified to be a cabinet secretary, but I play one on T.V.”

2. Hes not dumb

He is picking people who have experience distorting reality, and doing so when they know it is wrong. Why wouldnt you pick people who have shown they are apt at BRAINWASHING PEOPLE.

3. GOP Senators may complain behind the scenes

But they'll be good little soldiers and confirm another unqualified, uneducated nitwit who will damage the American people with their incompetence.

I'm talking to you, Senator McCormick!

4. No experience in drug policy, law enforcement

and no experience in government but she is a
Fox News talker. Any need to look her up to
see if is pretty, has nice hair (blond I would guess), and a good figure.

5. Of course he did.

6. What type of person accepts a position for

Which they are completely unqualified? That tells me all I need to know about her.

7. She meets all three qualifications to be in the Trump Administration

They are:

1. Looks good in makeup.
2. Extremely right wing.
3. In love with Donald Trump.

But seriously guys, the biggest drug problem this country faces right now is one she WILL NOT solve...and that is the fact that a ketamine addict is running the government.

9. I think it is that

More people will turn to drugs in order to deal with the pain caused by this administration.

8. The incompetent.....

….being lead by the incontinent.

10. Given The Colossal Failure...

...of the "war on drugs", wouldn't it have been wiser to turn Musk & his kiddies loose and tear this department to the ground, rather than appoint a new "czar".
They say they're looking to eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse. This entire office is the first 2, perhaps all 3, for 50 years.
They've got a budget of $44 billion. I'd think 95% of that could be cut.
