One might think that acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy’s job is now in question given a recent report from ProPublica that found three Trump administration officials have mortgage issues similar to Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. One of those officials is Sean Duffy.
Pro Publica reported:
…at least three of Trump’s Cabinet members call multiple homes their primary residences on mortgages. We discovered the loans while examining financial disclosure forms, county real estate records and publicly available mortgage data provided by Hunterbrook Media…Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer entered into two primary-residence mortgages in quick succession, including for a second home near a country club in Arizona, where she’s known to vacation. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has primary-residence mortgages in New Jersey and Washington, D.C. Lee Zeldin, the Environmental Protection Agency administrator, has one primary-residence mortgage in Long Island and another in Washington, D.C., according to loan records.
Notice I said “one might think,” but this is not the time for thinking individuals and the expectation that the law applies to everyone. The likelihood of Mr. Duffy being dumped for mortgage problems is pretty low. We know that the real threat to his job would be any indication that he donated to a democrat in the past (which President Trump did many times) or said anything even mildly even-handed about American politics.
NASA does not need any more disruptions, and the same could be said for the nation as well. Yet I think the political atmosphere ahead is more likely to mimic Space Mountain rather than It’s a Small World After All.
Sorry, Disney.
