There are times when you want a brilliant college student on your team, But you need seasoned professionals to help them through the things they’ve never seen before and never done before.

Honestly, any sweet, white-haired old lady who keeps pictures of her dogs and grandkids on her desk who's been doing data entry for 15 years could do circles around these clowns.

But she might also have the wisdom and perception to know we're not supposed to be doing this "work" at all, which is why he recruits naive teenagers and college kids who are still emotionally immature to think that this is going to be their "destiny" or their opportunity to get into the big leagues of business.

I keep hearing things about these hires he has, I don't think they're naive, At least not as such. They seem to be more power hungry trust fund babies.

But yeah, people with a few years in them would be a moral liability in that line of work.

Yeah if you read more of these guys tweets they are clearly in politics. One message tried to claim trump loves kids (to be clear: in the abstract sense, not in the he definitely fucked kids on an island with Epstein sense). Then they tried to twist the words to say "why don't you love kids". It was clumsy like you'd expect from someone who is practically a teenager, but the core is an attempt to follow the usual right wing playbook.
