Just as Trump voters selected the least qualified candidate for the job, the Trump administration continues to look for the one person wrong for the job- then hires that person. “The Trump administration has tapped a former for-profit college official to lead the Education Department unit that polices fraud in higher education. Julian Schmoke Jr., who previously directed campus operations at West Georgia Technical College and served as a dean at DeVry University, will be the department’s new chief enforcement officer, according to an internal email obtained by POLITICO.” > **[Trump administration selects former DeVry official to lead college...](https://www.politico.com/story/2017/08/30/julian-schmoke-jr-trump-education-department-college-enforcement-242176)** > > The unit has been without a permanent leader since the departure earlier this year of Robert Kaye. ---

We’ll probably never see Trump walk outdoors without a cap on, to avoid embarassing [comb-over photos](http://http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1043/7566/files/donald_trump_large.jpg?5480581287631060194).

According to some reports, Resident Chump is feelng “isolated and alone”. Well DUH! He has spent all his time insulting, attacking, and firing (whenever possible) everyone around him – like the psychopath and narcissist he is. And his shit stain son, who is a Cheeto-In-Training, says all the criticism might make him “suicidal”. Yes that’s right, Trump’s second oldest son Eric has claimed that negative media coverage of his father is so ferocious that it would lead another person to depression and then suicide. Suck it up, snowflake. “It’s the media, the mainstream media, who does not want [the president] to succeed. It’s government who does not want him to succeed…No matter what he does, he’s going to get hit, and listen, I think you have to tune it out.” He asked for it. He’s just not used to people who can and will hit BACK. After all the abuse, trash talk, no-PC, librul tears bullshit, look at who’s the weakest whiniest, disgusting, maggot, broke dick, snowflakes of ALL. They can dish it out but they sure as fuck can’t take it. ---
