Top allies of President Donald Trump are warning him against nominating Uttam Dhillon — an apparent ally of disgraced former FBI Director James Comey — to be the Administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

The warning from Trump’s allies come after Trump briefly recognized Dhillon — the current Acting Administrator of the DEA — at the International Association of Chiefs of Police Annual Conference and Exposition in Chicago, Illinois, on Monday.

"“I never would have imagined in a million years that the president would entrust James Comey’s right-hand man to execute on his agenda,” a former senior White House official told The Daily Wire. “Uttam Dhillon despises Donald Trump and spent his entire time in the White House complaining to everyone who’d listen that he’s unfit to be president and must be restrained.”"

Sheesh Mr. President. Everywhere you go you fill crowds. How about filling these positions with people who would enjoy a Trump rally rather than those who would feel more at home Ona CNN segment. Stop this nonsense

Eh....I think this is pearl-clutching. Just because Pres Trump “recognizes” a current acting administrator doesn’t mean he plans on appointing him permanently.

Exactly. Freepers should just chill out..probably to troll Dhillon and gets his hopes up, THEN destroy it lol

Every Obama appointment in the DOS, DEA, EPA,DOE,IRS, DOJ and the Janitorial staff should have been fired three years ago.

I'd add SCOTUS to the list as well, if it could happen.

Exactly, there are few Trump failures but some of his appointments were terrible. The blown opportunity of appointing that deep state hack Wray as FBI head is jus one example and don’t get me started on Rosenweasel.

Agreed- I think Trump tried to reach across the isle by not firing them, but it’s come back to bite him hard unfortunately- not sure his reasoning to keep them on after finding so many of them betraying him

[bantam]

Why on earth would he appoint, or even think of appointing a Comey lackey?

[VietVet876]

I’d rather have a Mexican head DEA than this guy.

[Souled_Out]

The personal flaw of Trump is that he seems to always miss the backstabber.

I think the problem is that some of the people advising the president don’t have MAGA....or the country’s best interests...in mind.

Two many RINO’s trying to sway him.

[Robert DeLong]

Perhaps President trump is trolling him, like he did Mitt. 8>)

"The blown opportunity of appointing that deep

When Pres. Trump wins in 2020 you can bet that Wray
will be gone along with many other Deep State traitors.
I expect the President will clean house in a big way.

Freepers should quit trying to put lipstick on every pig that is revealed, before we become the Freeper version of the DU.
