Trump is facing a lawsuit over a UFC fight planned at the White House on his 80th birthday, and separately appointed Bill Pulte as Acting Director of National Intelligence despite Pulte having no intelligence or national security background.
Centrists who prioritize competent governance see both moves as emblematic of an administration that treats symbolic loyalist rewards as more important than institutional credibility, a pattern that alarms moderates across party lines.
