Buzzfeed: Trump’s 24-Year-Old Drug Czar Forced to Resign

When President Trump promised to hire “the best people,” was Taylor Weyeneth really who he had in mind? The MAGA-hat-wearing 24-year-old has abruptly resigned from his high-profile role as the nation’s drug czar after reports surfaced that some of his credentials, including an alleged Master’s degree and as many as three previous jobs, appeared to be embellishments. Weyeneth had drawn scrutiny in part because he had no notable experience in drug policy or prevention work. Numerous other Trump nominees, from Education Secretary Betsy DeVos to now-withdrawn judicial nominees, have been criticized for lack of preparation–or just plain lack of expertise.
