Doesn’t every little boy at some point want to be a firefighter or a cop? Apparently, even rich little boys like Eric Trump do. So of course, the Sheriff of St. Lucie County, FL, came through and deputized him.

Never mind that he has NO law enforcement background or training. And he doesn’t even live in St. Lucie County. Neither is required in Floriduh. As long as you meet ‘minimum recruitment requirements’, you get full powers of arrest. Unless you are only hired to write parking tickets.

How does this happen? Well,  you know there’s a back story, but it involves ethics investigations of the current and former sheriffs, big buck fundraisers for DeSantis, and more tangled webs than I wanted to get into here. You are welcome to follow links in the article for some fascinating reading if you have nothing else to do. Bottom line, Sheriff and Governor are fan boys of TFG over in Mar a Lago.

Karma had an opinion. The next day, a tornado in advance of Hurricane Milton hit the Sheriff’s Department Building. Thank you, Karma, you B!
