Patel has been in Trump’s orbit for a lot longer than Musk.
Patel made his name in the first Trump administration with a number of national security roles.
He became known as someone who would back the president no matter what.
A character named “Kash the Distinguished Discoverer” helps King Donald overcome those who are conspiring against him.
By the third book, King Donald is battling “Comma-la-la-la.”
Patel clearly shares that distrust.
Kash Patel was in attendance at Donald Trump’s New York hush money trial.
He really is a devoted supporter;Melania Trump didn’t even attend Donald’s criminal trial.
And that was months before Elon Musk endorsed Trump in July 2024.
That makes Patel a perfect choice.
The current FBI director is Christopher Wray.
He was actually appointed by Trump in 2017, and the job is generally held for 10 years.
