President Donald Trump on Saturday rescinded his nomination of tech billionaire Jared Isaacman to lead NASA, citing a “thorough review of prior associations.”

The president pledged in a social media post that a new nominee would be “mission aligned” and “put America first in Space.”

“After a thorough review of prior associations, I am hereby withdrawing the nomination of Jared Isaacman to head NASA. I will soon announce a new Nominee who will be Mission aligned, and put America First in Space,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Wonder what some of the "prior associations" may have been.

Sounds like Laura Loomer finally reached him.

(I don’t know if that’s the case, but she seems to be the only one on our side doing background research)

Every single media outlet from the Times to local news is freaking out about this.

Why didn’t he know about these associations before nominating him?

He looks like probably the most insanely qualified nominee for put forward. But he’s tied to SpaceX, not a fan of Artemis going to the moon again, probably realizes the ISS is junk, and wants to focus on Mars. The deep state despises him. Too bad we lost out on a guy like this.

The article doesn’t address what the “prior associations” are.

Useless.

Shouldnt the thorough review have been done before the nomination?
This makes Trump look foolish and weak.
By some accounts it is Deep State that wanted this guy gone.

Loomer defends this guy as highly qualified and a target of DS because of his association with Elon Musk.

This is very strange…

There must be more to this story that Laura Loomer is not aware of - but why wouldn’t President Trump say what the prior associations are that led to this decision?

That’s one of a very few “associations “ that would immediately derail a nomination.

“Why didn’t he know about these associations before nominating him?”

Because his advisors are manipulating him. They withhold information and ill advise based on personal agenda.

Just like his first term, nothing has changed. Just new names and faces doing the very same thing as before.

He’s not an idiot or a grifter, so no place for him in the administration.

Anything’s possible. But that would mean President Trump has the Epstein client list and is not making it public.. why?

CNN - NO THANKS. But if you want to support the enemy, then knock yourself out.
