A 23-Year-Old College Senior Has Been Tapped By The Trump Administration To Fill A Top White House Position

One of the Trump administration's biggest difficulties is finding serious people who are actually willing to be a part of it.

The Presidential Personnel Office (PPO) is the organization that handles "the selection process for presidential appointments and works to recruit candidates to serve the President in departments and agencies throughout the Executive Branch" according to the White House's website.


As their director of operations, Katja Bullock, resigns the White House needed to find someone to fill her role.

Who have they chosen?

A 23-year-old college senior.

Sources report that 23-year-old James Bacon of George Washington University will be filling the senior role within the White House. To be fair, he has previously worked at the Department of Transportation and acted as a White House liaison to the Department of Housing and Urban Development.

However, he was able to maintain those jobs while also working towards his bachelor's degree, something that may not be possible now that he's in charge of a executive department.

Bacon formerly campaigned for the President, taking some time off school.

Now, however, he'll be working under John McEntee, who was formerly fired by the administration after coming under investigation for "serious financial crimes," but who has now been rehired to take charge of a government department.

Twitter was understandably worried by the White House's unconventional hire.


It seems like there's probably a better person to fill this role.


But at least one person is standing up for James...

Congratulations to James Bacon for finding a nice job before he's even finished with college. Hopefully he's good at it or the entire country will suffer.

No pressure.

Jeff Bezos Just Claimed That Trump Is 'More Mature' In His Second Term—And Critics Can't Even

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos sent heads spinning after claiming during a CNBC interview that President Donald Trump is a "more mature, more disciplined version of himself than he was in his first term."

Bezos, discussing a man who has attacked voting rights multiple times, previously suggested he might try to stay in office indefinitely, and continued to make erratic (and ironic) statements about presidential candidates needing cognitive exams, told anchor Andrew Ross Sorkin that Trump is much more mellow and calmer than he was during the first Trump administration.

College Graduation Ceremony Erupts In Boos After 'New AI System' Allegedly Misses 'Hundreds' Of Graduates' Names

In one instance, the name Michael D. Gonzales was announced while two women received their diplomas.

Mandy Moore Finally Spoke Out About That 'Toxic Mom Group' Drama—And She Didn't Hold Back

People might hope that when they make a new friend, they'll be friends for life. But the truth is, most friends will only be there for a reason or a season, like going to school or working together.

For former High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale, that season was new motherhood, a time when she was eager to meet women who understood the questions she had about babies and raising them, but also preferably women who understood what it was like trying to juggle being a successful businesswoman with being a mom, too.

JD Vance Just Tried To Give His Historical Hot Take On Pope Leo's Name—And He Missed The Point Entirely

Vice President JD Vance made a point that seemed pretty obvious to everyone except him when he, mentioning Pope Leo XIV, gave his take on the historical context around the tenure of Pope Leo XIII, who led the Catholic Church from 1878 until 1903.

Speaking at a White House briefing focused on the possible impact of the pope’s upcoming encyclical on artificial intelligence, Vance highlighted the symbolism behind Robert Francis Prevost, the first U.S.-born leader of the Roman Catholic Church, choosing the name Leo XIV.
